다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This descriptive study aimed to examine the effects of nursing professionalism and career decision- making self-efficacy on career preparation behavior among nursing students. The participants were 181 nursing students from two universities in G City. Data were collected via a Google-based online survey conducted between June 1 and June 30, 2025. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0, employing descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, Scheffé’s post hoc test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. The mean scores were 3.79±0.50 for nursing professionalism, 3.45±0.61 for career decision-making self-efficacy, and 3.44±0.89 for career preparation behavior. Career preparation behavior demonstrated statistically significant positive correlations with nursing professionalism (r=.23, p<.001) and career decision-making self-efficacy (r=.41, p<.001). Significant predictors of career preparation behavior were career decision-making self-efficacy (β=.42, p<.001), nursing professionalism (β=.32, p<.001), and major satisfaction (β=.22, p<.001), explaining 42% of the variance. The findings of this study may serve as foundational evidence for the development of career guidance programs designed to facilitate effective career planning and promote professional development among nursing students.
