Abstract
|
|
|
Although university students' interest in politics is increasing due to recent political and social events and the development of social media, the political competence of nursing students is still insufficient. This study explores and compares the effects of political efficacy, political interest, and political trust on the political participation of nursing students and non-nursing students.
Participants were 220 nursing students and 217 non-nursing students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analysis. Political efficacy of nursing students was statistically significantly lower than non-nursing students(t=-2.71, p=.012), but political interest(t=3.22, p=.001) and political participation(t=6.17, p<.001) was statistically significantly higher than non-nursing students. Participants' political participation was affected by political interest, political efficacy, gender, and major, and its explanatory power was 32%.
Based on these results, it is necessary to improve political participation according to major and gender by developing education methods related to political activities that increasing political interest and political efficacy. It is suggested to develop and apply methods that can strengthen university students' political interest as the variable that has the most powerful influence in common on university students.
