간호대학생의 자기결정성과 진로포부와의 관계: 간호전문직관의 매개효과

The Relationship between Self-determination and Career Aspiration among Nursing College Students: The Mediating Effect of Nursing Professionalism

본 연구는 간호대학생의 자기결정성과 진로포부와의 관계에서 간호전문직관의 매개효과를 규명하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구 대상자는 J도와 G시에 소재한 3개 대학교의 간호학과 재학생 4학년 180명이다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 27.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, 피어슨 상관계수 및 회귀분석을 시행하였고, 매개효과 검증을 위해 Sobel test를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 간호전문직관은 자기결정성과진로포부 사이에서 부분매개효과를 나타냈고(Z=2.81, p=.005), 자기결정성(β.=.38, p<.001)과, 간호전문직관(β=.25, p<.001)이 높을수록 진로포부 수준이 높아지며, 진로포부를 설명하는 설명력(R2)은 30%이었다. 따라서 간호대학생의 진로포부를 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 자기결정성과 간호전문직관의 함양을 위한실제적인 전략이 필요함을 시사한다.

This study attempts to understand the mediating effect of nursing professionalism in the relationship between self-determination and career aspiration of nursing college students. The subjects of the study were 180 4th year nursing college students attending nursing departments at three universities located in J province and G city. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis employing the SPSS 27.0 program. Additionally, Sobel tests were conducted to evaluate the mediating effect. As a result, nursing professionalism showed a partial mediating effect between self-determination and career aspiration(Z=2.81, p=.005). The higher the self-determination(β.=.38, p<.001) and nursing professionalism(β=.25, p<.001), the higher the level of career aspiration. And the explanatory power(R2) explaining the career aspiration was 30%. Therefore, it suggests that a practical strategy for cultivating self-determination and nursing professionalism is necessary to promote career aspiration of nursing students.
