Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of professors’ trust, self-directed learning, and self-esteem on major satisfaction in nursing students. The sample for this study consisted of junior and senior students from university nursing students in D and K area. The data were collected from March 6th to 17st in 2017. The collected data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA with scheffe, Pearson correlation, and hierarchial multiple regression with using SPSS IBM Statistics 19.0 program. In hierarchial multiple regression analysis, professor trust, self-directed learning, and self-esteem were significant variables predicting the level of major satisfaction in nursing students, accounting for 54% of the variability. These findings suggest that programs to enhance professor trust and self-esteem and also to teach self-directed learning methods should be implemented to increase major satisfaction in nursing students.
