ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify academic persistence intention and its influencing factors related to among Korean nursing students. Methods: Students in 4-year nursing colleges were recruited to participate in a self-reported survey (n=283). The questionnaire consists of academic integrity, social integrity, institute satisfaction, family support, and nursing professional identity. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, and point-biserial correlation. A logistic regression analysis was used to uncover associations among general characteristics, academic persistence related factors and academic persistence intention. Results: Eleven percent of participants showed plan for taking off or drop-out, labeled as possible attrition group. There were statistically significant differences of academic integrity, social integrity, institute satisfaction and family support. No statistical difference of nursing professional identity was found between attrition and persistence group. Academic attrition intention was lower in students registered in private school, age ≥21, and 4th grade. Academic persistence intention was higher in students with higher satisfaction in nursing as a major and higher academic integrity. Conclusion: The study revealed not only personal factors but also institute related factors were associated with nursing students' academic persistence intention. Therefore, institute related factors need to be reflected in curriculum development and operation for securing nursing students and nursing workforce.
