Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship among major satisfaction (MS), clinical competence (CC), career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMS), and career decision level (CDL) for undergraduate nursing students. A self-report instrument was used to measure MS, CC, CDMS, and CDL. Questionnaires were completed by 307 nursing students in three nursing colleges, and path analysis was employed to validate the proposed model and analyze the causal relationships among variables. Four constructs (MS, CC, CDMS, and career decision) were analyzed. To build a path model, MS and CC were linked to CDMS and career decision. The initial analysis suggested that the modification needed modification; therefore, a covariance link was added. The overall goodness of fit for indices indicated satisfactory path analysis. The indices were revealed as $x^2=2412$, GFI=0.996, AGFI=0.961, and RMSEA=0.068. As a result, the proposed model was acceptable with a good fit, and there were significant direct and indirect effects of paths in the model. Specifically, MS and CC had a direct influence on CDMS, and MS and CDMS directly affected CDL. Moreover, MS and CC had indirect effects on CDL through CDMS. These results imply that students' CDMS should be seriously considered when designing counseling programs for career guidance, and substantiality of CC education is needed to improve CDMS. These results may provide a practical guideline to provide educational intervention for nursing students.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 전공만족도, 임상수행능력, 진로결정 자기효능감, 진로결정 수준 간의 관계를 확인하고 이들 변수가 진로결정 수준에 영향을 미치는 영향과 경로를 파악하였다. 3개 간호대학 3,4학년 307명을 대상으로 자기기입식설문지를 사용하여 자료수집하였으며, IBM SPSS Amos 21을 이용하여 연구 모형과 변수간의 인과관계를 경로분석하였다. 연구결과 간호대학생의 진로결정 수준은 일반대학생에 비해 높았으며, 학년이 높고, 대인관계가 좋으며, 전공선택 동기가 적성과 취미에 맞을 경우 진로결정 수준이 높았다. 본 연구에서는 진로결정 자기효능감과 진로결정 수준이 전공만족도와 임상수행능력에 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 모형을 구성하였다. 초기모형의 적합도를 향상시키기 위해 모형을 수정하여 설명력을 향상시켰다. 수정모형의 모든 적합도 지수가 수용수준에 미치는 것으로 나타났다($x^2=2412$, GFI=.996, AGFI=.961, RMSEA=.068). 또한 총 5개 중 4개 경로의 계수가 통계적으로 유의미하였다. 진로결정 자기효능감과 진로결정 수준에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인해 본 결과 전공만족도와 임상수행능력아 진로결정 자기효능감에 직접효과가 있었다. 전공만족도와 진로결정 자기효능감은 진로결정 수준에 직접효과가 있었으며, 임상수행능력은 진로결정 자기효능감을 통하여 진로결정 수준에 영향을 미치는 간접효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 진로결정 수준에 영향을 미치는 요인들의 전체효과는 진로결정 자기효능감, 전공만족도, 임상수행능력 순으로 높았다. 이상의 연구결과를 바탕으로 간호대학생의 특성에 맞는 진로지도 프로그램을 개발, 그 효과를 파악하는 연구를 제언한다.
