Abstract

Background: The nursing profession faces workforce shortages and high turnover. Understanding nursing career choices is crucial. This study explores the role of interest in fostering grit among nursing students.

Method: This qualitative descriptive study examined motivations of first-year Bachelor of Nursing students at a regional university in Australia. Data from "Grow Your Grit" program journal entries were analyzed to identify key themes; the study adhered to COREQ guidelines.

Results: Four themes emerged: (1) encompassing a passion for helping others; (2) personal experiences with health care; (3) role models' influence; and (4) practical reasons. Students expressed a deep-seated desire to have a positive effect, inspired by personal health care experiences and role models.

Conclusion: Intrinsic interests, such as compassion and personal experiences, in choosing a nursing career are vital and may inform educational strategies to sustain student engagement and resilience, contributing to a committed and competent nursing workforce. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(X):XXX-XXX.].

探索学生追求护理的理由：揭开护理的呼唤。

背景：护理行业面临劳动力短缺和高流动率。了解护理职业选择是至关重要的。本研究探讨兴趣在培养护生毅力中的作用。方法：本定性描述性研究调查了澳大利亚一所地区大学护理学士一年级学生的动机。研究人员分析了“培养你的勇气”项目日志条目中的数据，以确定关键主题；该研究遵循COREQ指南。结果：出现了四个主题：(1)包含了帮助他人的热情；(2)个人保健经历；(3)榜样的影响；(4)实际原因。受个人医疗保健经历和榜样的启发，学生们表达了一种产生积极影响的根深蒂固的愿望。结论：在选择护理职业时，内在的兴趣，如同情心和个人经历，是至关重要的，可以为教育策略提供信息，以维持学生的参与和适应能力，有助于培养一支忠诚和称职的护理队伍。[J].中国生物医学工程学报，2015;32(4):559 - 561。
