看護大学生の進路選択と進路支援のニーズに関する実態

The purpose of this research was to clarify that nursing students course choice and career support needs. And it was to consider the way of our support. Using an anonymous self-administered questionnaire, we received answers from 43 nursing students （second grade; 12 people, third grade; 31 people）who had participated in a career seminar.
As the course choice, being a nurse, public health nurse, and nurse midwife ranked high in descending order, both at the time of enrollment and the survey. More than half of the respondents had yet to decide their future career plans, although many of them expressed their wish to obtain higher qualifications. With regard to choosing on one's course, the respondents tended to give priority to their interests（52.5％）and aptitude（67.4％）. Regarding career support, many respondents expressed their wish to receive such support from the time of enrollment（88.4％）as well as after graduation（86.0％）. Our survey results suggest the need for nursing students to receive career support including career seminars from an early stage as well as career guidance to facilitate the realization of their vocational aptitude.
