Abstract

Objectives To determine the impact of nursing students' mental health and nursing professionalism on major satisfaction. Methods This study was conducted on 188 nursing students in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and Gangwon-do who understood the purpose of this study and voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. The data of this study were analyzed using mean and standard deviation, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis using the SPSS WIN 20.0 program. Results Nursing students' satisfaction with their major was determined by grade (F=4.977, p=.002), place of residence (F=2.869, p=.038), presence of practice (F=-2.347, p=.020), and satisfaction with practice experience (F=-2.347, p=.020). =4.502, p=.005), there was a significant difference. There was a significant negative correlation with depression (r=-.236, p=.001), and a significant positive correlation with nursing professionalism (r=.703, p<.001). Nursing professionalism and depression were statistically significant influencing factors, and the explanatory power for major satisfaction was found to be 49.5%. Conclusions To enhance the major satisfaction of nursing college students, sustained psychological support is essential, with a focus on reducing their feelings of depression. Utilizing individual counseling, mentorship programs with faculty advisors, and other supportive interventions should be considered.
