Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current situation of professional identity and work readiness of newly graduated nursing students, explore the correlation between professional identity and work readiness, and provide a reference for promoting their professional development.Methods:From May to September 2023, a total of 584 newly graduated nursing students who were about to participate in standardized residency training were selected from 7 tertiary hospitals in the main urban area of Chongqing using cluster sampling. The general information questionnaire, Nurse Professional Identity Scale, and Nurse Work Readiness Scale were used for data collection. SPSS 23.0 was used to analyze the current situation of professional identity and work readiness among the participants.Results:A total of 536 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 91.78%. The professional identity scores of newly graduated nursing students ranged from 23 to 83 (66.94±11.38) points and the work readiness scores ranged from 115 to 370 (271.47±44.54) points, which were positively correlated ( r=0.673, P<0.001). Hierarchical regression analysis showed that professional identity entered into the influencing factor model of work readiness ( F=38.350, P<0.001), which could independently explain 50.80% of the variation in work readiness. Conclusions:The professional identity and work readiness of newly graduated nursing students are at moderate levels. Nursing educators and hospital nursing managers should pay attention to the assessment of their professional identity and work readiness, adopt scientific and effective methods to improve their work readiness, ensure a smooth professional transition, and promote their career development.
