Summary
A new scale was developed to measure nursing students' career decision-making self-efficacy in Korea. The validated 17-item scale demonstrated strong reliability and validity for assessing career adaptability and goal setting.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Career Development
- Psychometrics
Background:
- Conventional career decision-making scales are inadequate for Korean nursing students due to sociocultural differences and evolving healthcare.
- A culturally relevant and profession-specific tool is needed to assess career decision-making self-efficacy.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and psychometrically evaluate the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale for Nursing Students (CDSE-NS) tailored to the Korean context.
- To ensure the scale accurately measures career decision-making self-efficacy among nursing students.
Main Methods:
- Methodological study involving the development and validation of a new questionnaire.
- Data collected from 400 nursing students via online survey; preliminary 56 items reduced to 40 based on content validity index > .80.
- Analysis included content, construct, and criterion-related validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.
Main Results:
- Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors (adapting to work, understanding major, goal setting) with 21 items, explaining 57.1% of variance.
- Confirmatory factor analysis validated a 17-item, three-factor structure.
- High reliability was confirmed: test-retest ICC = .86, Cronbach's α = .92.
Conclusions:
- The developed CDSE-NS is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring career decision-making self-efficacy in nursing students.
- The scale effectively assesses students' confidence in adapting to work, understanding their major, and setting career goals.

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

01:15Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...
