Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to describe the effects of Christian nursing students'' spiritual maturity, sense of calling, and career identity on nursing professional values. Through this, it will provide basic data for developing the program and preparing a plan to improve the nursing professional values of Christian nursing students. Methods: A descriptive survey was conducted. Data were collected from 181 Christian nursing students from June to July 2018 through a structured self-filling questionnaire. Results: Their nursing professional values level was 3.96±0.52. Nursing professional values had a positive correlation with spiritual maturity (r=0.29, p<.001), sense of calling (r=.28, p<.001), and career identity (r=.41, p<.001). Factors influencing nursing professional values by multiple regression were identified as career identity (β=.27, p=.002), spiritual maturity (β=.21, p=.015), and satisfaction with life (β=.17, p=.028) (Adj R<sup>2</sup>=.229). Conclusion: The findings suggest that to enhance Christian nursing students'' positive nursing professional values, it is necessary to consider effectively integrating and operating a substantial career exploration program and faith training program.
