The Impacts of Transition Shock, Taeoom Perception and Nursing Professional Self-Concept Perceived by Nursing Students Who Have Experienced Psychological Clinical Practice on Professional Socialization

Abstract

Clinical practice, an important turning point in the nursing curriculum, is a process that converts students into professional nurses. At this time, it is necessary to understand the unique emotional experiences that nursing students experience. If negative emotions are not properly resolved during the clinical practice period, they will lead to maladjustment, so it is necessary to examine and understand students' emotional responses. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of transition shock, taeoom perception, and nursing professional self-concept on professional socialization in nursing students with clinical practice experience. Methods: This study is a descriptive survey study, and a total of 132 subjects responded to the survey. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 program. This study was conducted after submitting the research proposal to the Institutional Review Committee (IRB) at Konyang University, and receiving approval of IRB exemption (KYU-2021-08-027-001). Results: As a result of multiple regression analysis, nursing professional self-concept (p<.001) and gender (p<.05) had a significant influence on professional socialization. The higher the nursing professional self-concept (B=1.719), the higher the professional socialization, and women(B=18.037) had higher professional socialization than men. The nursing professional self-concept (β=0.570) was found to have a greater influence on professional socialization and had 37.5% explanatory power. Discussion: Through these results, it is necessary to improve nursing professional self-concept in order to increase professional socialization among nursing students.
