Description
Summary:Purpose This study aimed to examine the relationship between future core nursing competencies and key variables, identifying factors influencing these competencies among senior nursing students. Methods This cross-sectional study included 150 third- and fourth-year nursing students in South Korea. Based on King’s Dynamic Interaction System Model, perceived work value and individual innovative behavior were categorized as personal systems, interpersonal competence as an interpersonal system, and adhocracy culture as a social system. Participants completed self-reported online questionnaires to assess factors influencing future core nursing competencies. Results Hierarchical multiple regression analysis identified interpersonal competency (β=0.32, p=.012) and adhocracy culture (β=0.23, p=.010) as significant predictors of future core nursing competency explaining 30.9% of the variance. Conclusion Enhancing future core nursing competency among senior nursing students requires continuous education and counseling programs to strengthen interpersonal competency. Establishing an adhocracy culture involves recognizing creative ideas, fostering open communication for freely expressing ideas, and encouraging innovation. Therefore, developing interpersonal competence and promoting an adhocracy culture is essential for improving future core nursing competency in senior nursing students.
