| Summary: | 碩士 === 嘉南藥理大學 === 醫務管理系 === 107 === Objective: Internship is a simulation course providing students to experience their career decision making. It thus have its importance finding the connections between the contents of experiential value on internship and students’ attempts on future career development. The research purpose is to explore the relationships among experience value of healthcare administration’s internship, internship satisfaction, and career development attempts.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey research with data collection been carried out by a structured questionnaire. The research subjects were university students who completed the 2018-year internship course. Data collection was divided into two parts. The first part was the census method, the collection period was from November to December 2018. The sample source was a case university students in southern Taiwan with the 79.2% response rate. The second part is a convenient sampling which the participants students are those who attending the “2019 International Conference on Hierarchically Integrated Healthcare System” on May 26, 2019 (with 100%response rate). Follow-up statistics were used descriptive analysis, one way ANOVA, and T-test, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis, and mediation analysis.
RESULTS: A total of 259 participants completed the questionnaire. Over all, the students’ internship experience value was evaluated as level of good to great (utility value as 5.23 and emotional value as 5.09). Factors affecting experiential value vary by the two sub-constructs. Factors affecting “utility value” are statistically significant with “current system of university (p-value=0.001)”, "residential area (p-value=0.05)”, "internship area (p-value=0.05)”; Otherwise, factor affecting “emotional value” includes only the "degree within which university system (p-value=0.05)”. With multiple linear regression analysis, factors affecting “students’ career development attempts" are statistically significant with "current system of university”, "internship area", "sector selection in internship". Furthermore, with mediation analysis, we found that the relationship between “utility value” and “students’ career development attempts” can be partially mediated by “internship satisfaction”; meanwhile, the relationship between “utility value” and “students’ career development attempts” can be fully mediated by.
Conclusion: Based on the finding that experiential value plays an important role among the relationships of internship satisfaction and students’ career development attempts, we suggest that improving the students’ involvement to enhance the personalization of internship instructional design. Next, we suggest that conduct an qualitative research to further explore the pattern under internship’s experiential value. Finally, we provide several suggestions for further research and policy making.
