Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to explore the attitudes of Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) students towards the nursing profession. Methods: A sample of 377 students (male = 130; female = 247) were selected from different colleges of SQU, including the College of Nursing. A questionnaire was constructed and validated to assess the attitudes of SQU students towards the nursing profession. Results: Findings revealed that both male and female students in all academic years and colleges had positive attitudes toward the nursing profession. The findings also revealed that gender and academic year created no significant differences (P α) بالنسبة إلى الجنس و المستوى الدراسي بينما كان لنوع الكلية تأثير ذي دلالة على هذه الاتجاهات و على وجه الخصوص طلبة كلية التمريض حيث كانت اتجاهاتهم أكثر إيجابية من طلبة باقي الكليات. الخلاصة : أشارت النتائج إلى وجود اتجاهات إيجابية لطلبة جامعة السلطان قابوس نحو مهنة التمريض و بخاصة طلبة كلية التمريض مما يعني وجوب تكثيف الجهود للنهوض بمهنة التمريض و التأكيد على استمرارية النظرة الإيجابية لها من جميع الأطراف المعنية.
