Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Intrinsic Motivation-Based Mock Interview Workshop

This behavioral intervention is a structured mock interview workshop grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), designed to enhance nursing students' career decision-making self-efficacy by supporting three basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The intervention is delivered over two consecutive weeks, totaling 6 class-hours (45 minutes per class-hour). The workshop consists of four stages: Stage 1 (45 min) - Activating Autonomy in Career Decision-Making: Interactive lecture covering interview attire, resume writing, and pre-interview preparation; simulated job postings are distributed. Stage 2 (90 min) - Demonstrating Competence in Career Decision-Making: Live mock interviews where students respond to structured questions from two interviewers; performance is evaluated using the Mock Interview Evaluation Scale. Stage 3 (90 min) - Fostering Peer Support in Career Decision-Making: Small-group role-playing (6 students per group) where students rotate roles
