Abstract

This study aimed to deeply understand the employment support experience of mature nursing students. We interviewed 8 mature nursing students in universities in K and D, and analyzed the data through Colaizzi's method which was one of the phenomenological research method. It was composed of 4 themes and 8 sub-themes. The participants were preparing for employment by making efforts to increase the conformity of employment conditions while facing limitations to employment such as age. In addition, they were making efforts to find employment by finding their strengths as mature students, strengthening their will to work, and building a foundation for becoming professional nurses. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an institutional foundation and develop a programme to support the employment of mature nursing students, and carry out specific and empirical follow-up studies.

본 연구의 목적은 만학도 간호대학생의 취업지원 경험의 의미와 구조가 무엇인지 탐색하기 위해 실시하였다. 연구대상자는 D시와 K시 대학에 재학 중인 만학도 간호대학생 8명을 대상으로 심층면담을 수행하였으며, Colaizzi가 제안한 현상학적 연구방법을 사용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 연구결과 4개의 주제, 8개의 하위주제가 도출되었다. 참여자들은 나이 등의 취업의 한계상황에 직면하면서도 취업조건의 부합성을 높이기 위한 노력을 기울이며 취업을 준비하고 있었다. 또한 만학도로서 가진 장점을 찾으며 취업의 의지를 다져나갔으며, 전문직 간호사가 되기 위한 토대를 구축하는 등의 취업을 위한 노력을 하고 있었다. 따라서 만학도 간호대학생의 취업지원을 위한 제도적 기반 마련 및 프로그램 개발이 필요하며 구체적이고 실증적인 후속 연구가 이루어질 필요가 있다.
