Abstract

This study was a descriptive research study aimed at identifying the factors influencing career choice commitment in nursing freshmen, focusing on empathy, social support, and major satisfaction. The subjects of the study were 153 nursing freshmen from one university in Chungbuk and one university in Gyeongbuk. The data collection period was from June 3 to June 15, 2024, and the questionnaire took about 30 minutes to complete. The results of the study showed that explained 46.3% of the variance in career choice commitment, and the regression model was statistically significant (F=44.71, p<.001). The influencing factors were, in order, major satisfaction (β=.50, p<.001), empathy (β=.25, p<.001), and university satisfaction dummy 2 (average) (β=-.13, p=.042). Based on these findings, it is recommended to conduct further repeated studies to identify various factors influencing career choice commitment. Additionally, it is suggested to develop customized career exploration and employment programs by grade level to examine the factors affecting career choice commitment in nursing students beyond freshmen.

본 연구는 간호학과 신입생의 공감능력, 사회적지지 및 전공만족도가 진로선택몰입에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구의 대상자는 충북 1개 대학과 경북의 1개 대학의 간호학과 신입생 153명이다. 자료수집 기간은 2024년 6월 3일부터 6월 15일까지 이루어졌으며 설문지 작성 소요시간은 30분 정도였다. 연구결과 전공선택몰입의 설명력은 46.3%로 나타났고, 회귀모형은 통계적으로 유의하였다(F=44.71, p<001). 영향요인을 살펴보면 전공만족도(β=.50, p<.001), 공감능력(β=.25, p<.001), 대학만족 더미2(보통) (β=-.13, p=.042) 순이었다. 본 연구결과 진로선택몰입에 미치는 영향요인으로 확인된 공감능력, 사회적지지, 전공만족도 외에도 다양한 요인을 확인하기 위한 추 후 반복연구를 제언하며, 간호대학 신입생 외 학년별 진로선택몰입에 미치는 영향요인을 확인하여 학년별 맞춤형 진로 탐색 및 취업 프로그램 개발을 제언한다.
