Career motivation in nursing students and the perceived influence of significant others

Abstract: The diversity within nursing and the reported opportunities that nursing presents are important motivators for nursing students, and recruitment campaigns should aim to make these more explicit. There is a need for more qualitative research into indicators of successful nursing students if we are to address not only student dropout, but also to recruit those most likely to complete their education and remain in the nursing profession.

“…For example, recent studies have focused on understanding and raising the aspirations of girls for science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers (Archer et al, 2012;Broadley, 2015;Cheryan, Master, & Meltzoff, 2015) and on the underrepresentation in medicine of students from low SES areas (Greenhalgh, Seyan, & Boynton, 2004;Mathers & Parry, 2009) and disadvantaged backgrounds (Griffin & Hu, 2015). In nursing and teaching, studies have focused on motivations (McLaughlin, Moutray, & Moore, 2010;Richardson & Watt, 2006) and other influences on the choice of career (Bullough & Hall-Kenyon, 2011;Mooney, Glacken, & O'Brien, 2008). For some careers, such as the arts, there is little research on students' aspirations or factors that shape this interest.…”

“…Moreover, career choice studies for nursing have often explored many variables that affect the judgment to enter the nursing academy including family, culture, internal needs, motives, and knowledge. [1,10,11] According to the revealed data in the present study, there are highest percentages of secondary school male students who perceived some inhibiting factors toward men in nursing, such as "media description", "no specific job title for men" and "no role model in nursing". Parallel to these results, Twomey CJ, in 2008, mentioned that there are no admired, meaningful and impressive positive nursing models for young youth.…”

“…Furthermore, the significant factor that may encourage males to enter nursing is the presence of a source of moral support such as a family member, who passed through nursing study and knows its great benefits in the future. [4,10] Hence, there are several factors that may give some justification for the opposite views of male students. For instance, Bartfay WJ, in 2010, clarified that the image of men in nursing suffered from multiple thoughts that hindered males in entering the nursing profession such as stereotyping, community stigmatizing of the image and poor media representation.…”

“…Caring means helping people with their physical or inter-relational needs, such as the need for company or understanding, and the provision of this care is the responsibility of the nurse (Quintero & Gómez 2010). The desire to help is a basic element of the profession and one of the key reasons for choosing and carrying out nursing studies (Ramió 2005, Buitrago-Echeverri 2008, De Cooman et al 2008, Price 2009, McLaughlin 2010, Jirwe & Rudman 2012, Halperin 2014, Wu et al 2015. The help that students refer to as a characteristic of the nursing profession also coincides with theoreticians' characterisation of the profession (Marriner & Alligood 2007).…”
