Examination of the professional values of the nurses and the associated factors

This study is conducted to examine the professional values of nurses and their personal and professional characteristics affecting these values.Design and MethodsA total of 369 nurses completed a questionnaire on personal information and nursing professional values scale (NPVS ‐R).FindingsThe total scores of the nurses on the NPVS ‐R were found to be 100.87 ± 21.07, and the item mean scores were found to be 3.87 ± 0.81. When the scores for individual scale factors were examined, the highest scores were observed for the “caring” (4.02 ± 0.87) and “activism” (3.90 ± 0.89) factors.Practice ImplicationsThe fact that nurses are aware of their individual values and how these values affect their behavior can be a guide in human ‐focused value nursing planning.
