Abstract

Nursing is a profession that demands responsibility, empathy, and sustained commitment. Despite its critical role in healthcare systems, the profession is currently facing significant global challenges, most notably a widespread shortage of nursing personnel. This shortage is further exacerbated by a declining interest among younger generations in selecting nursing as a career, raising concerns about the future sustainability of the healthcare workforce. Therefore, this study aims to explore students' considerations when choosing nursing as a future career in a private school in Batam. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews recorded using a Digital Voice Recorder. A total of 15 participants were selected based on data saturation. Four key themes were identified, including Nursing as a Noble Profession, Nurses as Role Models, Support for Becoming a Nurse, and Challenges in Choosing a Nursing Career. Students often perceive the nursing profession as noble and dignified, largely due to its dedication to caring for and helping others. The experience of being cared for and seeing nurses doing their job became students' role models in the future. Another factor was that social support was found to encourage students to pursue nursing. On the other hand, barriers such as gender stigma, the high cost of nursing education, and family economic difficulties are significant challenges in choosing this career. In conclusion, students' decisions to choose nursing are influenced by both supportive and obstructive factors. This study suggests that further investigation should be conducted using nursing theory, focusing on how clinical experiences during nursing education impact students' career goals in the context of personal, interpersonal, and social systems. Understanding these dynamics could help improve the recruitment and retention of nursing students.

Abstract

Safety and health education in the laboratory is critical because laboratories are high-risk environments that can increase the incidence of workplace accidents. Problems arise when students' knowledge and self-awareness are lacking, including exposure to sharp objects such as syringes, bodily fluids, and pathogens, as well as ignorance of reporting work accidents and the risk of injury. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge and self-awareness of nursing students and OSHA practices in the nursing laboratory of Awal Bros University. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study consisted of 167 nursing students selected through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included variables of knowledge, self-awareness, and OSHA practices, and then analyzed using Chi-Square tests. The research results show that 64.1% of respondents have good OHS knowledge, 48.5% have high self-awareness, and 64.7% practice OHS well. The statistical test results found that there was a significant relationship between knowledge and occupational safety and health practices (p-value = 0.000) as well as self-awareness and OSH practices (p-value = 0.000). In conclusion, there is a significant positive relationship between nursing students' knowledge and self-awareness with OHS practices in the laboratory. Therefore, it is recommended that future researchers reach out to other, more diverse institutions and consider other variables, such as practical experience, that may influence students' knowledge and self-awareness. In addition, qualitative or mixed research methods can be used to explore student behavior in implementing OHS.
