Abstract

Introduction: Healthcare workers are facing many challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, especially during the pandemic, the appropriate motivation for candidates to choose the profession of nurse is extremely important due to the high social expectations. Aim of the study: To present the motives that determined the choice of the profession of nurse among people undertaking studies. Material and methods: The research was conducted on a group of 321 nursing students at first- and second-degree studies in two Polish universities. Results: The research shows that the largest group, i.e. 40.5%, came from rural areas. As the most common reason for choosing that field of study, respondents indicated having an interest in the profession, and a willingness to help others and expand their knowledge (57.9%). 75% of respondents stated that the COVID-19 pandemic makes it easier to find a job. Conclusions: The main motive for choosing the profession of nurse is having an interest in the profession and a desire to help others regardless of the pandemic. A factor that often motivated students to choose the profession is the loved ones practicing the profession of nurse. In the surveyed group of nursing students, the COVID-19 pandemic did not directly affect the choice of the field of study (profession). Positive communication in the media about the enormous importance of nurses’ professional activity for society is the basic element building interest in this profession among teenagers.

COVID-19大流行之前和期间决定护理专业选择的动机
导言:在COVID-19大流行期间,卫生保健工作者面临着许多挑战。因此,特别是在大流行期间,由于社会期望很高,候选人选择护士职业的适当动机极其重要。本研究的目的:探讨决定进修人士选择护理专业的动机。材料和方法:本研究在波兰两所大学的一、二学位护理专业的321名学生中进行。结果:研究表明,最大的群体来自农村,占40.5%。选择该专业的最常见原因是,受访者表示对该专业感兴趣,并愿意帮助他人和扩展知识(57.9%)。75%的受访者表示,COVID-19大流行使找工作变得更容易。结论:选择护士职业的主要动机是对该职业感兴趣,并希望无论大流行如何都能帮助他人。激励学生选择护士职业的一个因素是他们所爱的人从事护士职业。在受访护生中,新冠肺炎疫情并未直接影响护生对学习领域(专业)的选择。媒体对护士职业活动对社会的巨大重要性的积极沟通是在青少年中建立对这一职业兴趣的基本要素。
