大學護理學系應屆畢業生對醫院補助護生獎助學金的看法與期待

The Perspectives and Expectations of New Nursing Graduates Regarding the Hospital-Based Nursing Students Scholarship

背景：護理生醫院獎助學金制度是目前招攬護理人力的新趨勢之一，但此制度之推行所造成的影響，其相關研究較為不足。目的：本文旨在了解大學護理學系應屆畢業生對於醫院補助護理生獎助學金的看法與期待。方法　採質性研究方法，以立意方式取樣，選取台灣北部某大學於2013年畢業之應屆護理學系學生共20位為研究對象。資料分析以內容分析法進行。結果　醫院獎助生對醫院獎助學金制度之看法與期待之主題分別為「嚮往成為醫院獎助生並有所行動」與「對醫院獎助身份的期待、想像未來生活」；非醫院獎助生之主題為「同意醫院獎助學金制度存在，但抗拒受限的人生」。結論／實務應用　受訪者雖然都認同醫院獎助可以減輕經濟壓力，但醫院獎助生能以正向與積極的態度面對簽約。而非醫院獎助生則礙於生涯規劃之故，拒絕成為醫院獎助生。建議未來可倚重校內生涯輔導機制，以幫助應屆畢業生做出適切地抉擇，並安排簽約學生到獎助金選填之志願單位實習，藉以提升臨床適應情形。

Background: The hospital-based scholarship is a relatively recent incentive used by hospitals to recruit new nursing graduates. Few studies have explored the impact of these scholarship programs on hospital recruitment. Purpose: To explore the perspectives and expectations of new nursing graduates on the application of a hospital-based scholarship for nursing students. Methods: This study used a qualitative research approach. Purposive sampling was used to recruit 20 new nursing graduates from one university in northern Taiwan in 2013. Content analysis was applied to analyze the data. Results: Two themes were identified by participants who had applied for a hospital-based scholarship: “aspire to be a nursing-scholarship recipient and work towards this aspiration” and “look forward to receiving a nursing-scholarship and imagine possible features of the future life.” One theme was identified by participants who had not applied for a hospital-based scholarship: “agree with the policy of hospital-based scholarship but resist the restrictions on their life.” Conclusions / Implications for Practice: Although both groups agreed that the scholarship program helped relieve financial stresses, participants who had applied for the scholarship tended to hold positive and aggressive attitudes towards the nursing scholarship. Conversely, participants who had not applied for the scholarship did so due to the perceived conflicts between the scholarship and their career plans. It is recommended to consider providing career- planning assistance to new graduates and to arrange that students who sign a scholarship contract have their clinical practice in their working unit in order to improve adaptation.
