Predictive Factors of Good Governance Implementation Among Nursing Students at a Private University in Bangkok

Abstract

This study aimed to examine predictive factors of good governance implementation among nursing students at a private university in Bangkok. The sample consisted of 188 first- to fourth-year nursing students. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and standard multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that students had moderate levels of knowledge regarding good governance principles (78.11%), while attitudes and practices were at high levels (83.45% and 84.09%). Correlation analysis showed that attitude and practice had very high positive correlations with good governance (r = .848 and .885), while knowledge had a moderate correlation (r = .307). All three variables collectively predicted 79.7% of the variance in good governance implementation (R² _adj = .797, F(3,184) = 246.301, p < .01). Practice was the strongest predictor (β = .629), followed by attitude (β = .270); knowledge was not a significant predictor (β = .050, p = .147).
