Purpose: To examine the image of nurses as perceived by nursing students and clarify the image determinants.
Methods: Subjects were 260 nursing students from a nursing college in Chungcheongbuk-Do. They received and completed a structured questionnaire from March 12 to April 20. 2007. The questionnaire data was analyzed using SPSS Win 12.0.
Results: The mean score of the image of nurses was 115.89 of a total 165. According to the subjects’ general characteristics, the image of nurses was lower in 2nd and 3rd year nursing students who did not profess a religious affiliation, those without a nurse among their relatives, those who were neutral concerning nursing science, those whose perceived personality was negative, and in those whose perceived adaptability was moderate. The mean score of the image of nurses per item was 3.51 of a total 5, the lowest item of image of nurses was ’Many opportunities for promotion’. The mean score of factors determining the image of nurses was 3.86 of a total 5, the highest one was ’Nurses’ expert knowledge’.
Conclusion: Intervention to improve the image of nurses by nursing students is prudent.
