Abstract

Background

The academic self-concept of nursing students holds substantial implications for both their scholastic achievements and career prospects, though few studies have examined its heterogeneous nature.

Aims

This study aimed to explore the current status of nursing students' academic self-concept, identify its latent profile categories, and analyze the influencing factors across different categories.

Methods

From May to July 2024, a convenience sampling method was employed to recruit nursing students from three nursing colleges in Sichuan Province. A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted using the General Academic Self-Concept Scale for Adolescents, the Academic Help-Seeking Ability Scale, and the Situated Wise Reasoning Scale.

Results

A total of 1,153 nursing students were included. The study identified three latent categories of academic self-concept: low-level (10.5%), medium-level (46.9%), and high-level (42.6%). Ordinal logistic regression analysis demonstrated that academic performance, help-seeking ability, and situated wise reasoning ability were significant predictors of these latent categories.

Conclusion

Nursing students' academic self-concept exhibits heterogeneity. Nursing educators can enhance students' academic self-concept by fostering their help-seeking ability and wise reasoning skills.

护生学业自我概念潜象分析及影响因素研究：一项多中心横断面研究

护生的学术自我概念对其学业成就和职业前景都有重大影响，尽管很少有研究考察其异质性。目的了解护生学业自我概念的现状，识别其潜在特征类别，并分析不同类别间学业自我概念的影响因素。方法于2024年5 - 7月，采用方便抽样的方法，对四川省3所护理院校的护理专业学生进行调查。采用《青少年一般学业自我概念量表》、《学业求助能力量表》和《情境理性推理量表》进行多中心横断面调查。结果共纳入1153名护生。研究将学术自我概念的潜在类别划分为低水平（10.5%）、中等水平（46.9%）和高水平（42.6%）。有序逻辑回归分析显示，学业成绩、求助能力和情境理性推理能力是这些潜在类别的显著预测因子。结论护生学业自我概念存在异质性。护理教育者可以通过培养学生的求助能力和理性推理能力来增强学生的学术自我概念。
