|
Purpose: This study aimed to identify the mediating effect of professional self-concept on the relationship between nurse¡¯s image and career identity, and between satisfaction with the nursing major and the career identity of nursing students.
Methods: This study utilized a descriptive methodology, and 205 nursing students attending three universities in Busan Metropolitan City participated in it. Data were collected from self-reported questionnaires between March 26 and April 30, 2022. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson¡¯s correlation coefficient, and simple and multiple regression using the IBM SPSS 22.0 program and Sobel test.
Results: The mean score of career identity was 2.92¡¾0.57 out of a possible 4. Career identity showed a significantly positive correlation with nurse's image (r=.32, p<.001), satisfaction with major (r=.47, p<.001), and professional self-concept (r=.32, p<.001). Additionally, professional self-concept had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between nurse's image (Z=2.44, p<.001), satisfaction with major (Z=2.35, p<.001), and career identity.
Conclusion: The results of the study show professional self-concept had a mediating effect on the relationship between nurse's image, satisfaction with the nursing major, and career identity. Based on the study¡¯s results, career identity education programs for nursing students need to include nursing image, satisfaction with major, and professional self-concept.
