Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify correlates influencing career resilience of graduate nurses at five years post-graduation.
Methods: A descriptive correlational design utilized using self-reported online questionnaires among 180 BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) graduates fulfilled individual career plan program (ICPP) credits in academic year 2013-2016. The data from 90 nursing graduates were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA and regression.
Results: Five years after graduation, the subjects’ career decision-making self-efficacy (p = 0.003) and career resilience (p = 0.006) scores were significantly lower than at final semester of BSN program, while career decision level seemed not to be changed. Among demographic char- acteristics, the effect of gender, current job field, length of employment and satisfaction in major on career decision-making self-efficacy, career decision level and career resilience were statistically significant. The model including career decision, career decision-making self-efficacy, and satisfaction in major significantly explained 72.2% of variability in career resilience of graduate nurses.
Conclusions: Nursing educators implementing career decision-making self-efficacy and career decision level can increase early-career graduate nurses’ resilience by career planning and development program. The findings suggest that further research needs to develop a continuing education in professional career development that is to have a prolonged effect on BSN graduates career resilience.
