Abstract
Öğrencilerin profesyonel benlik kavramı, meslek seçimini, meslek imajını, mesleğin algılanmasını, mesleki memnuniyetini ve tükenme düzeyini etkilemektedir. Profesyonel benlik kavramı güçlü olan öğrenci hemşirelerin yetişmesi hastalarını ve mesleklerini olumlu yönde etkileyerek nitelikli hasta bakımı sunmalarını sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik bölümü erkek öğrencilerinde meslek seçimini etkileyen faktörlerin profesyonel benlik kavramına etkisini belirlemektir. Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı ve korelasyonel olarak dizayn edilmiştir. Çalışmanın uygulaması bir üniversitenin sağlık yüksekokulunda eğitim gören 107 hemşirelik bölümü erkek öğrencisi ile yapılmıştır. Veriler hemşirelikte meslek seçimi ölçeği, öğrenci hemşirelerde profesyonel benlik kavramı ölçeği kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde ortalama ve standart sapma değerleri, pearson korelasyon ve regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin meslek seçimini etkileyen faktörlerden ortalama değerin üzerinde etkilendikleri belirlenmiştir. Öğrenciler ortalama değerin üzerinde profesyonel benlik kavramlarının olumlu yönde geliştiğini düşünmektedirler. Korelasyon analizi sonuçları erkek öğrencilerin meslek seçimini etkileyen faktörler ile profesyonel benlik kavramları arasında olumlu, anlamlı ve zayıf bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Erkek öğrenci hemşirelerde meslek seçimini etkileyen faktörlerin profesyonel benlik kavramlarının yordayıcısı olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Erkek öğrenci hemşirelerin meslek seçimini etkileyen faktörlerin profesyonel benlik düzeylerini etkilediği belirlenmiştir.
