| Objective To discusses the difference of Occupational Choice Self-efficacy(OCSE)of nursing post-graduates of Beijing and Taiyuan due to their ages,grades and cities.This study can be used as evidence of employment guidance for nursing post- graduates.Subjects We regard 148 female nursing post-students(a male nursing post-student has been eliminated)who are studying in Taiyuan and Beijing in 2006 as our research subjects.The subjects are divided into groups according to ages:51 subjects who are older than 23 years old, 80 subjects whose are older than 26 years old,17 subjects who are older than 30 years old; according to grades:53 first-year post-graduates,53 second-year post-graduates,42 third-year post-graduates;according to cities:67 post-graduates in Beijing,81 post-graduates in Taiyuan.Methods We use the questionnaire of OCSE of graduates which was designed by HuYanhong and verified by the test of reliability and validity as the study tool and the method of individual interview and literature information to compare and analyze the scores of OCSE of nursing post-graduates and make conclusion lastly.The OCSE of graduates consists of six factors.They are self-concept,self-evaluation,social support,occupational information accumulation,study capacity,and intending objects.The variance with the criterion variable of these six factors is 56.931%and inner identical coefficient(α)is 0.724.Every correlation reaches remarkable level that the correlation between the general questionnaire and six factors is between 0.651 and 0.822, and the correlation between every factor and its items is between 0.376 and 0.856.All the data are put into the software of SPSS11.5 for Windows to analyze and the statistic methods are factorial analysis and Chi-square test.Results Compared with the results of HuYanhong who used the same questionnaire,the OCSE scores of nursing post-graduates in 'self-concept'(3.625±0.606),'self-evaluation'(3.345±0.584),'social support'(3.218±0.502),'occupational information accumulation'(3.340±0.541),'intending objects'(3.460±0.500)are much lower except the score of 'study capacity '(3.750±0.628);There isn't prominent main effect of ages in OCSE of nursing post-graduates(F=2.057,P＞0.05),it isn't considered that there is statistical significance on the influence of age factor on OCSE score of nursing post-graduates,the score of students more than 30 years old is the lowest(3.174±0.254);There is prominent interaction of grades and cities in OCSE of nursing post-graduates(F=4.275,P＜0.05),this indicates that the development trend in OCSE of nursing post-graduates of three grades is different in two cities,the score in OCSE of nursing second-year post-graduates in Taiyuan(3.928±0.291)is higher than the score of the first-year(3.297±0.210)and the score of the third-year(3.259±0.157).The score in OCSE of nursing post-graduates of the second-years in Beijing(3.450±0.276)is higher than the score of the first-years(3.443±0.273)and the score of the third-years(3.117±0.367);The development trend in OCSE of nursing post-graduates between Beijing and Taiyuan is different in three grades,this indicates that the score in OCSE of nursing post-graduates of one-grade in Beijing(3.443±0.273)is higher than the score of nursing post-graduates in Taiyuan(3.297±0.210),the score of nursing post-graduates of two grade and three grade in Taiyuan(3.928±0.291,3.259±0.157)are higher respectively than the score of nursing post- graduates in Beijing(3.450±0.276,3.117±0.367);There is prominent main effect of grades in factor of 'self-concept'(F=46.490,P＜0.01),there is statistical significance on distinction of different grades on factor of 'self-concept';There is prominent main effect of grades in factor of 'occupational information accumulation'(F=4.733,P＜0.05),there is statistical significance on distinction of different grades on factor of 'occupational information accumulation';There is prominent main effect of grades in factor of 'intending objects'(F=12.372,P＜0.01),there is statistical significance on distinction of different grades on factor of 'intending objects';There is prominent interaction of grades and cities on factor of 'self-evaluation'(F=4.874,P＜0.01),this indicates that the degree of self-evaluation for nursing post-graduates of the three grades are different in the two cities;There is prominent interaction of grades and cities on factor of 'study capacity'(F=14.922,P＜0.01),this indicates that the degree of study capacity for nursing post graduates of the three grades are different in the two cities.Conclusions 1.According to the results of HuYanhong,OCSE of nursing post-graduates is in a lower level than graduates.2.There isn't a difference of nursing post-graduates' OCSE due to their ages.3.The development trend in OCSE of nursing post-graduates of three grades is different in two cities,The OCSE of students who in two grade is higher than who in other grades,the difference is represented in self-concept,occupational information accumulation, intending objects,it shows in higher self-concept,intending objects and better information -accumulating capability of students who in two grade.There isn't a difference of nursing post graduates' OCSE in different grade in self-concept,study capacity and social support.With the development of grades,OCSE scores of post-graduate students who are studying in Taiyuan showed a low-high-low developmental trend and the degree of this change is distinct;the developmental trend of OCSE scores of post-graduates who are studying in Beijing is increasing steadily and then reducing.4.The development trend in OCSE of nursing post-graduates of Beijing and Taiyuan is different in three grades,OCSE of post-graduates of one grade in Beijing is higher than who in Taiyuan,but OCSE of post-graduates of two grade and three grade in Taiyuan are higher than who in Beijing.All of these research indicated that it is important to heighten employment guidance education for nursing post-graduates of three grades except the nursing post-graduates who are studying in Beijing.
