ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence the nursing students' nurse image and professional self-concept on career exploration. This study was accomplished on 153 students in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of the Department of Nursing Science at a college in area Y, and data were collected from July 1 to August 31, 2020 using a structured questionnaire. Measurement tools consisted of nurse image, professional self-concept, and career exploration behavior. Data processing was performed using the SPSS 22.0 program where general characteristics were analyzed by t-test, ANONA and post examination tests by Scheffe's test, using mean score, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Nursing students' nurse image, professional self-concept, and career exploration behavior were all found to have significant positive correlations, and the most influential variable was professional self-concept. As for the total explanatory power of these variables, model 2 showed 25% explanatory power, which was increased by 2% compared to model 1. Based on this result, it is necessary to develop education and a career exploration action program which can improve the nurse image and professional self-concept.
