Abstract:
Objective To understand the status quo of occupational attractiveness and career expectancy in nursing undergraduate and postgraduates at internship and explore the correlation between them. Method A total of 60 nursing undergraduate and 25 nursing postgraduates were enrolled in the investigation by using general information questionnaire,occupational attractiveness scale and occupational expectancy scale. Results The score on the occupational attractiveness (9.91 ±2.84)and the score on career expectations (81.83±12.72).The scores on occupational attractiveness and career expectancy among the undergraduate were significantly higher than those among the postgraduates (t=1.971,P<0.05).The occupational attractiveness of clinical nursing students at internship was positively correlated with occupational expectancy, stability factors and self-development factors (P<0.05). Conclusions The occupational attractiveness and career expectations of nursing undergraduates and postgraduates during internship are both at a low level. The occupational attractiveness and career expectations among them are positively correlated.It is indicated that in school education the guidance of expanding professional values should be enhanced;and in clinical practice the clinical teaching and theoretical teaching should be aimed to improve the occupational attractiveness and career expectations so as to cultivate high-quality nursing talents and stabilize the nursing team.
