In their final year, nursing students will likely attain professional socialization through adequate social support. Thus, the purpose of this study was to look at how final-year nursing students&#39; professional socialization was impacted by their perceptions of social support.<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span><br> <b>Material & Methods:</b> In 2022, this cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in Hamadan, Iran, at the Hamadan School of Nursing and Midwifery. The study involved 128 final-year nursing students in total. Toit&#39;s professional socialization questionnaire, Zimet&#39;s perceived social support questionnaire, and demographic information forms were the data gathering instruments used in this study.<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span><br> <b>Results:</b> A relationship was discovered (r = 0.237, p < 0.001) between the professional socialization of nursing final-year students and their social support. The family dimension was identified as the most influential predictor of professional socialization among final-year nursing students within the social support variable (p < 0.001, &beta; = 0.447). Furthermore, various factors had significant negative predictive effects on the socialization of final-year nursing students. The study found that several factors were associated with certain career choices. Choosing a mandatory field and family pressure (p < 0.001, &beta; = -0.278), picking a field based mainly on earnings (p = 0.017, &beta; = -0.209), the mother&#39;s occupation as a homemaker (p = 0.009, &beta; = -0.220), and the father&#39;s work in the private sector (p = 0.037, &beta; = -0.175) were among these factors.<span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span><br> <b>Conclusion:</b> These findings highlight the critical role that family-related factors play in influencing how nursing students socialize professionally, which is important information for nursing education and support programs.</span></span></span> social support, professional role, socialization, students, nursing, education 50 60 http://edujournal.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-12-2120-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Vahid Yousofvand v.yousofvand@gmail.com 5300319475328460033390 5300319475328460033390 No PhD Candidate in Nursing, Student Research Committee, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
