Abstract

This study aimed to investigate factors influencing the adaptation of nursing college students to university life. A survey was conducted with 202 second-year nursing students at a university to understand the impact of career decision self-efficacy, major satisfaction, and social support on university life adaptation. The sample size determination was done using G-power 3.1.9, and SPSS 21.0 was employed for data analysis. Differences in university life adaptation based on participant characteristics were assessed using t-tests and ANOVA. Pearson's correlation coefficient was utilized to examine the correlation between career decision self-efficacy, major satisfaction, social support, and university life adaptation. Multiple regression analysis was employed to identify factors influencing university life adaptation. The results revealed positive correlations between university life adaptation and career decision self-efficacy, major satisfaction, and social support. Significant correlations were also observed between career decision self-efficacy and major satisfaction, as well as major satisfaction and social support. The most influential factors affecting university life adaptation were identified as career decision self-efficacy and major satisfaction, with the model explaining 48.3% of the variance. The study concludes that career decision self-efficacy has the greatest impact on the adaptation of nursing college students, emphasizing the need for program development to enhance this aspect. Furthermore, given the importance of major satisfaction and social support, systematic management and intervention are deemed necessary for effective university life adaptation strategies.
