The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of nursing students toward nursing education.
The subjects of this study were 257 students of Gang Reung Junior College of Nursing. The data was collected by means of a self-administered structured questionnaire from December 3 to 7, 1984.
The data was analyzed by percentage and Chi-square test.
The results of this study were as follows:
1. The time of decision to go to nursing college was made immediately before the entrance examination in 69.2%, and during the high school period in 27.6%.
2. The above decision was made by the students´ own wishes in 31.9%, and by the others´ advices in 68.1%.
3. Main motives of students´ choice for nursing college were for job security after graduation in 45.1% and for cheaper tuition fees than other colleges in 26.8%. This revealed that majority of the students chose nursing as a career without much considerations of their interests or attitudes toward nursing.
4. In the degree of satisfaction in their college life, the students responded as satisfied in 29.2 and as dissatisfied in 37.4%. The freshmen showed higher dissatisfaction scores than the upper classes (P <.05). The reasons for dissatisfaction were inadequate educational facilities in 37.9%, and management and policies of the college in 30.1%.
5. In the degree of satisfaction in their nursing study, 49.4%% of the subjects responded as satisfied while 16.7% of them as dissatisfied. However, there was no significant difference between the grades(P >.05). The reason of dissatisfaction with their nursing study was that nursing practice did not correspond with what they learned in classes in 27.7%.
6. In the attitudes toward nursing profession, the senior students showed higher scores in self recognition than the freshmen and the sophomores, though it was not statistically significant (P >.05). In social recognition scores, however, the freshmen showed lower scores than the upper classes (P <.05).
7. In 71.2%, the respondents wanted to be clinical nurses, and only 2.7% of them desired to be primary health nurses.
