Abstract

This cross-sectional correlational study investigated factors affecting career planning of nursing students, focusing on the associations between satisfaction of academic major, perceived professional competence, and job expectations. Data from 255 nursing students were collected through self-administered questionnaire surveys on 2016 January 4 and 7 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, t-tests, bootstrapping SPSS macro and path analysis using AMOS. There were significant correlations between major satisfaction, professional competence, and job expectations. Both major satisfaction and professional competence were significant factors influencing job expectations, but their effects on job expectations were significantly different depending on whether there was a role-model, which support a moderating effect of having a role-model. Major satisfaction had a significant direct effect on career planning, but its indirect effect on career planning through job expectations was not significant. Professional competence did not have a significant direct effect on career planning, but its indirect effect on career planning through job expectations was significant. Overall, the results highlight the importance of providing educational support and opportunities for nursing students to explore their own motivation and to have a role-model during pursuit of a nursing career.

본 연구는 졸업 직전 간호학생들의 전공만족도, 간호역량성취도, 업무기대감 간의 관련성을 중심으로 진로계획에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 연구이다. 연구자료는 D시와 K시 소재 두 개 대학의 졸업을 앞둔 간호학생 255명이 자가보고식 설문지에 기입하는 방식으로 2016년 1월4일부터 1월7일까지 수집되었다. 자료는 SPSS와 AMOS를 사용해 기술분석, Pearson's correlation coefficients, t-test, bootstrapping을 활용한 SPSS macro, 경로분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과로, 간호학생들의 전공만족도, 간호역량성취도, 업무기대감은 유의미한 상관관계가 있으며, 전공만족도와 간호역량성취도는 업무기대감에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 롤 모델의 유무에 따라 전공만족도와 간호역량성취도가 업무기대감에 미치는 영향이 달라지는 조절효과가 있었다. 전공만족도는 졸업 후 진로계획에 직접적인 영향은 유의미했으나, 전공만족도가 업무기대감을 거쳐 진로계획에 미치는 간접적인 효과는 유의미하지 않았다. 반면, 간호역량성취도가 졸업 후 진로계획에 미치는 직접적인 영향은 유의미하지 않았으나, 간호역량성취도가 업무기대감에 영향을 미침으로써 진로계획에 영향을 미치는 간접적인 효과는 유의미한 것으로 나타나, 업무기대감이 간호역량성취도와 향후 진로계획 간의 관계에 매개요인으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 간호학생의 졸업 후 진로계획을 위해 전공만족도와 간호역량성취도를 향상시킴으로써 업무기대감을 강화하고, 이를 위해 임상전문가와의 적극적인 상호작용으로 롤 모델을 형성하고, 향후 간호업무 수행을 위한 동기와 목표를 탐색할 수 있는 교육방안이 강화되어야 함을 시사한다.
