Keywords:
Sense of coherence, Work adaptation, Work readiness, Coronavirus, Graduate nursesAbstract
This research aimed to examine the relationships between the personal characteristics, sense of coherence, work adaptation, and work readiness of graduate nurses, and to explore factors affecting their work readiness in the coronavirus situation. A simple random sampling was used to sample 165 nursing students. Data collection was employed between June and July 2021, using questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and Stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the data.
The results revealed that the graduate nurses had the mean scores of a sense of coherence, work adaptation and work readiness at a high level (50.60, 61.36 and 53.32 respectively). The sense of coherence and work adaptation showed statistically significant positive relationships with work readiness of the graduate nurses (p-value< 0.01). The statistically significant predictors of work readiness of graduate nurses were work adaptation, sense of coherence and GPA, accounting for 54% of the variance in the work readiness of graduate nurses (p-value< 0.01).
The findings suggested that increasing of work adaptation and sense of coherence before graduation may help to enhance the work readiness of graduate nurses during the coronavirus pandemic situation.
