However, there are some obstacles to moving forward in career
development, such as career barriers. Career barriers mean
perceived and experienced difficulties in making a career [10].
Q2 Many college students perceive the existence of numerous occupational
barriers, with these barriers being expressed in either
adaptive or maladaptive ways according to the individual's personal
perception or situation [11]. Career barriers can also interfere
either directly or indirectly in the process of career interests converting
to career behavior and career selection [12]. Therefore, for
effective career education, it is necessary to collect the information
on how nursing students perceive and cope with career barriers
when building a career course in nursing education.
