摘要：Background: In response to current suboptimal dementia care and the increasing numbers of people with dementia, it is potential to understanding nursing career preferences for dementia care. Currently, there is little research on preferences in nursing students for working with dementia people.

Measures included career preferences, demographics and attitude, knowledge about dementia. Results: Among the 419 nursing students who completed the survey, only 16 students listed dementia care as their most preferred career. The subsequently multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the preferences are associated with students' attitudes towards dementia (95 %CI:1.01-1.09;Moderately:1.00-1.03), knowledge about dementia (95 %CI:1.25-2.71;Moderately:1.00-1.21), working experience with dementia (95 %CI: 1.13-3.90), volunteer service for dementia (95 %CI:1.47-72.23;Moderately:1.30-3.24), whether their family member with dementia (95 %CI:1.96-84.26;Moderately:0.08-0.68). The results of the shapley value analysis showed that the highest contributions were DAS total score (35.83 %). Conclusion: Nursing education in China needs to take proactive action regarding students' career preferences for dementia. It provides useful data to inform workforce planning, curriculum and practice development to stimulate interest and drive improved quality of dementia care.
