Factors influencing the fertility intentions of unmarried female nurses in South Korea: a cross-sectional analysis
This study showed that social comparison orientation and subjective career success were predictors of fertility intention among unmarried female nurses. To promote young unmarried nurses' fertility intentions, creative systems should be developed where their social comparison orientation can positively affect fertility intentions, and nurses should be helped achieve subjective success and satisfaction with their careers, even in high-burden nursing settings.
