Background & aim: In the field of nursing, there are many entrepreneurship and innovative opportunities, however, its education in nursing, especially nursing students, has been less. For this reason, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of education on the attitude and entrepreneurial intention of nursing students.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 102 nursing students were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. In order to collect data, a questionnaire that included a demographic section and a section to measure Linan and Chen's entrepreneurial intention and attitude, which was based on the planned behavior model, was used before and immediately after the intervention. The intervention was implemented as a one-month entrepreneurship training workshop for the intervention group. Data analysis was carried out with a significance level of 0.05.
Results: Before the intervention, there was no significant difference between the control and intervention groups (P>0.05). However, after the intervention, except for the attitude variable (P>0.05), there was a significant difference in other variables in the intervention group (P<0.05). The mean scores of intention variables (P = 0.001) and behavioral control (P = 0.003) were significant, but for attitude (P = 0.16) and subjective norm (P = 0.052) was not significant.
Conclusion: These findings show that entrepreneurship education can improve the intention and behavioral control of nursing students regarding entrepreneurship. This study can help administrators and educational planners in the field of entrepreneurship to design appropriate educational programs for the development of entrepreneurship in nursing students. |
