“…Additionally, these values are frequently not covered throughout the nursing curriculum in the depth students require [33]. Furthermore, Garcia-Moyano et al [26] pointed out the fact that understanding the very concept of professional values might result in some ambiguity when it comes to actual nursing practice. In this regard, MacDonnell and Buck-McFadyen's study [34] demonstrated how managing this would call for a reorientation of nursing practice by including political action, which is important for improving people's lives and is an integral component of nurses' professional practice.…”

“…More specifically, the acquisition of such values typically occurs through role modeling and clinical practice [23,24], through the inclusion of the values within the curriculum [14] and facilitating the acquisition of values [25]. Furthermore, the incorporation of professionalism and its evaluation within undergraduate training has been gaining momentum [26], which might help to address some of these issues more effectively.…”

A total of 315 student nurses participated from a Nursing Faculty in Spain representing each of the four academic years. (3) Results: Students’ perceptions of professional values were significantly correlated with their academic year. Overall, students’ scores were higher in the ethics dimension. The two highest scores were for Maintain patient confidentiality for years 1 and 2 (4.77 and 4.68, respectively) and Safeguard patients’ right to privacy for years 3 and 4 (4.95 and 4.98, respectively). Lower scores were observed in the professional expertise dimension across all years, and corresponded to a single item Participate in peer review (3.51, 3.38, 3.98, and 3.26, respectively). (4) Conclusions: This study is relevant as it highlights how nursing students’ perceptions of professional values change overtime, even during the four years of their training.

“…Therefore, further research is required to confirm the causal relationship. In addition, Garcı’a-Moyano et al believed that in order to promote the formation of nursing professional commitment, besides material resources (such as rewards and salary) we need to increase more personal motivation for professional development and cultivate actual professionals in nursing [ 46 ]. Cheng et al pointed out that newly graduated male nurses are often concerned about their lack of ability and doubt whether they are suitable for nursing.…”

The current shortage of nurses is an important global issue. Most male nurses leave nursing within four years of starting their nursing career. It is crucial to understand the influencing factors on newly graduated male nurses staying in nursing. Previous studies on intentions to stay as nurses were seldom based on theory and failed to consider the differences between genders. Based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, this study tested the model that social support, resilience, and nursing professional commitment influence the intention to stay and the mediating effect of nursing professional commitment in the above relationship. This cross-sectional study adopted purposive and snowball sampling methods. Data were collected using online questionnaire, and 272 newly graduated male nurses completed it. The hypothetical model had a good fit with the data. Nursing professional commitment had a complete mediating effect between social support and intention to stay and between resilience and intention to stay. Nursing professional commitment was highly positively correlated to intention to stay. It is suggested that future research and practice should enhance male nurses’ professional commitment to increase their intention to stay. The findings can serve as reference for developing newly graduated male nurse retention programs.

Garcia-Moyano et al reported that nurses' professional commitment increases the quality of care and safety and patients' satisfaction, as well as increases nurses' professional ability and decision-making [17].…”

One of the priorities of nursing education is to provide solutions to nurses' questions so that they can remain in their career and render professional services. Committed nurses work harder to improve their careers. Professional status can boost nurses' confidence. Objective: To determine the relationship between professional status and professional commitment in nurses working in hospitals of Kashmar City, Iran. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 230 nurses working in Kashmar City hospitals. They were selected by the census method in 2019. The data collection tools were the nursing professional status questionnaire and the Clikeman and Henning professional commitment questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed with the Spearman, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U statistical tests. Results: The Mean±SD age of the nurses was 31.57±6.82 years (35.5% men and 64.5% women). Their Mean±SD score of professional status was 44.09±6.19, and their Mean±SD score of professional commitment was 48.04±9.42. The highest score of professional status belonged to the self-confidence component. The Spearman correlation coefficient showed a significant relationship between the dimensions of self-confidence, treatment team staff, and community in professional status and professional commitment of nurses (P<0.05). Confidence was the most important predictor for professional involvement in terms of professional status dimensions (R 2 =0.228). Conclusion: Health policymakers are advised to take the necessary steps and develop professional status promotion programs and skills related to maintaining professional commitment in nurses.
