I Am a Nursing Student but Hate Nursing: The East Asian Perspectives between Social Expectation and Social Context

“…It is worth noting that this participant (P#11, Female, Interview) was willing to study nursing if she could stay in her hometown. However, the East Asian perspective, social context, and social expectation [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] about her testing score, university, major, and potential career development destroyed her career perspective and beliefs. Although she wanted to become a nurse, she will now suffer due to the stresses and pressures from all different directions of her life.…”

“…Currently, studies with a focus on nursing education and nurses' career development tend to explore participants' elements from a westernized perspective [7,11,13,16], in which individualism is the primary social norm and practice [4]. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the relationship between East Asian nursing students' sense of filial piety and their decision-making behind selecting nursing education as their major [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

“…It is worthwhile to note that, unlike in Western cultures, Asian young people tend to highly respect their parents' suggestions, as well as the recommendations of their elders, such as parents, grandparents, teachers, and elder siblings, due to traditions of filial piety [8]. In short, this study serves as one of the first attempts to understand the relationship between filial piety and the decision-making of East Asian university students regarding their major selection and career development [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Unlike with Westerners, the values of filial piety, collectivism, and sense of family union are essential elements for East Asian people [39].…”

“…The lack of long-term career development in Taiwan always prohibited youths from joining their dream professions [55], particularly in the humanities and fine art occupations. A participant (P#24, Male, Focus Group) shared an idea: It was not surprising to hear that in East Asia, university subject selections were not based on the students' own interests and desires for career development [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. For example, the above participants wished to join botanical biology during her secondary school period.…”

Psihološko, Telesno I Socijalno Blagostanje Starih Osoba Nakon Gubitka Supružnika

“…Takođe, ovaj rezultat je u saglasnosti i sa nalazima ranijih istraživanja koji ukazuju da je u kolektivističkim kulturama karakteristična medjugeneracijska solidarnost i privrženost, doživljaj dužnosti prema članovima porodice i podređivanje osnovnih ličnih potreba porodičnim potrebama. Tako, neke studije pokazuju da u kulturama koje više promovišu međuzavisnost nego nezavisnost, stare osobe, nezavisno od tugovanja, češće participiraju u životima svojih potomaka nego što primaju podršku održavajući i na taj način svoje samopoštovanje i funkcionalnost (Chong & Liu, 2016).…”
