Aim:
To examine the factors associated with entrepreneurial intention among Korean nursing students using a socio-ecological model.
Design:
A cross-sectional study.
Methods:
This study, conducted in August 2024, involved 205 undergraduate nursing students who completed an online questionnaire assessing their entrepreneurial intention and individual, interpersonal, organizational, and policy-level factors. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlation analyses were performed, followed by multiple linear regression analysis with entrepreneurial intention as the outcome variable and factors across the four socio-ecological levels entered simultaneously as explanatory variables.
Results:
Peer influence and family influence were significantly associated with entrepreneurial intention, with family involvement being especially significant in Korea's collectivist culture. National economic conditions and government entrepreneurial support were also associated with students' entrepreneurial intention. Individual-level characteristics were not significantly associated with entrepreneurial intention in the adjusted model.
Conclusion:
Nursing students' entrepreneurial intention was mainly associated with interpersonal and policy level factors. Nursing entrepreneurship education should strengthen peer and family support and increase awareness of government programs to prepare future nurses for innovation in evolving healthcare environments.
Implications For The Profession And/Or Patient Care:
Nursing entrepreneurship education should extend beyond individual competency development by incorporating peer-supported learning, culturally appropriate family engagement and practical information on government entrepreneurship support. These approaches may broaden professional career pathways and strengthen nurses' capacity to develop innovative healthcare services, technologies and care models.
Impact:
This study addressed the limited understanding of multilevel factors associated with entrepreneurial intention among nursing students. Interpersonal and policy-level factors were more strongly associated with entrepreneurial intention than individual- or organizational-level factors. The findings may inform nursing educators, educational institutions and policymakers seeking to strengthen entrepreneurship and innovation within the nursing profession.
Reporting Method:
This study was reported in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Statement for cross-sectional studies.
No Patient Or Public Contribution:
There was no involvement from patients or the public; the investigation exclusively examined nursing students' entrepreneurial intention and related determinants.
