Abstract:
PURPOSE: This study, on the basis of a structural model that includes nurse image, image determinants, and self-esteem of Cambodian nursing students influenced by the Korean nursing education system, demonstrates distinctions between senior and junior according to experience in clinical practice. METHODS: Data were collected via a questionnaire from 194 nursing students in Cambodia and subsequently analyzed using the STATA IC 12 program. RESULTS: First, image determinants and their sub-factors-subjective, institutional, and media-effect both the nurse image and self-esteem of nursing students. Second, the study confirms that nurse image has no significant effect on self-esteem. Also, the individual factor, a sub-factor of nurse image, possesses a weak relationship with nurse image. Third, the structural model mediating between senior and junior reveals differences resulting from experiences derived from clinical practice. CONCLUSION: The study has significance in that Cambodian nursing students, who are rarely studied in terms of nurse image, have been systemically analyzed via a structural model incorporating image determinants and self-esteem.
