Özet:

The purpose of the study is to examine the correlation between factors affecting the choice of profession of freshmen in nursing education and their submissive behaviors. In addition, an evaluation is made to determine whether factors affecting the choice of profession of the students and their submissive behaviors significantly differentiated according to their sociodemographic and choice of profession characteristics or not. The study sample consists of 145 nursing students who started education in a Faculty of Health Sciences in the west of Turkey during the academic year of 2016-2017. Data is collected using Personal Information Form, Choice of Profession in Nursing Scale (CPNS) and Submissive Behaviours Scale (SBS). The students who participated in the study obtained 68.61±18. 35 points from the lower dimension of "Professional Convenience" of the CPNS, 53.68±15.08 points from the lower dimension of "Vital Reasons" and 63.34±12.55 points from the total scale. Average SBS score is 35.73±7.79. As a result of the correlation analysis, it is determined that there is no statistically significant correlation between the SBS score average and the lower dimension of "Professional Convenience" of the CPNS and the total score average of the scale (p>0.05). However, it is found that there is a positive 15.3% correlation between the SBS score average of the students and the score average of the lower dimension of the "Vital Reasons" of the CPNS (as submissiveness increased, the score of "Vital Reasons" increased), which is almost statistically significant (r=0.153; p=0. 066 is. According to these results, it can be suggested to take necessary steps, make the choice of profession within the frame of the triangle of student-family-trainer/consellor and provide studies to students in educational institutions that may reduce their submissiveness and develop their counseling, leadership and coordinatorship roles in order to choose and like the profession consciously.
