Abstract
Objectives This study is to identify the factors that affect the employment stress of nursing students in the COVID-19 situation. Methods Data were collected from a total of 206 from November 2021 to January 2022, targeting 4th-year nursing students. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 25.0 program, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression. Results There was a significant difference in job-seeking stress in school achievement (F=3.58, p=.030) and foreign language competency (F=5.42, p=.005). Job-seeking stress showed a positive correlation with appearance stress and career barriers, and a negative correlation with job-seeking efficacy. The factors affecting job-seeking stress were career barriers (β=.67, p<.001). The higher the career barriers, the higher the Job-seeking stress. Conclusions In the future, a pandemic such as COVID-19 can occur at any time in the future society. In this situation, various programs that can diagnose and manage job-seeking stress of nursing students who need to prepare for job-seeking should be developed.
