“…Previous studies have emphasized the importance of defining, clarifying and developing the values of nursing students (Thorpe & Loo, 2003;Uustal, 1984;Weis & Schank, 2000, 2009). Weis and Schank developed the NPVS to define and clarify professional nursing values and they revised this scale in 2009 as the NPVS-R (Weis & Schank, 2000, 2009. The purpose of the present study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the NPVS.…”

“…Each individual has his/her own values and these values are gained as a result of education, experience, culture and interpersonal relationships (Lenners et al, 2006;Rassin, 2010;Vezeau, 2006;Weis & Schank, 2000). In nursing, professional values are learned with observation and experience during training (Fahrenwald et al, 2005;Martin, Yarbrough, & Alfred, 2003;Potter & Perry, 2001;Rassin, 2010;Shinyashiki, Mendes, Trevizan, & Day, 2006).…”

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of a Turkish version of the Revised Nursing Professional Values Scale (NPVS-R). Methods: The sample of this methodological study consisted of 385 participants, including senior undergraduate nursing students (n = 328) and clinical nurses (n = 57). Data was collected using the NPVS-R. For NPVS validity, content validity and construct validity were analyzed. The content validity index (CVI) was used to determine item validity. Results: Item CVI ranged from 0.78 to 1.0, and total CVI was 0.93. Construct validity was examined using factor analysis and the five factors were identified as original NPVS-R. Chronbach's alpha was used to assess the internal consistency reliability. The 26-item NPVS had a standardized alpha coefficient of 0.92. Testretest reliability scale was r = 0.76 (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Our analyses showed that the Turkish version of NPVS-R has high validity and reliability.

correlation between knowledge and action in senior baccalaureate nursing students. There was no significant difference in this relationship as a result of education or experience within the student group but a large discrepancy in the numbers of participants in each group may have impacted this finding. Thus college credit in courses on ethics, previous experience with making health care decisions, and general experience in health care did not significantly impact this relationship, but did indicate a need for further research.

“…A five-member panel of experts on professional values have assessed the validity of the scale and reported its Cronbach's alpha to be 0.92 16 . In Iran, Hosseini et al evaluated the validity and reliability of the scale in 2011: initially, the scale was translated into Farsi and then it was translated back into English; the face and content validity of the scale was confirmed by 7 professors at the Nursing School of Tabriz, and its reliability was verified based on the results of a pilot study of 72 nursing students which yielded a Cronbach's alpha of 0.92 14 .…”

Objectives: In order to deal with professional ethical issues successfully, nurses and other providers of clinical care need to rely on professional values that are meant to guide their professional decision-making, actions and behaviors .These values form the basis of nursing. Accordingly, the present study aims to investigate nurses' perception of professional values in the hospitals affiliated with Jahrom University of Medical Sciences. Method: In this descriptiveanalytical study, 100 nurses employed at the university hospitals of Jahrom were selected through simple convenience sampling. To examine the subjects' perception of professional values, the researchers used a two-part questionnaire: part one consisted of questions about the personal and social characteristics of the subjects; part two was the Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised. The latter consists of 26 items based on American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses and addresses the following areas: caring (9 items), activism (5 items), trust (5 items), professionalism (4 items) and justice (3 items).Answers are scored based on a 5-point Likert scale: the answer choices "Not important" and "Very important" are assigned 1 point and 5 points respectively. The score range is between 26 and 130-higher scores indicate the respondent's greater familiarity with professional values. Findings: The participants of the study consisted of 99 nurses who were selected from the various parts of the university hospitals of Jahrom. The participants' mean scores for caring, activism, trust, professionalism, justice and total perception of professional values were found to be 32. 15,15.47, 17.37, 13.32,10.66 and 88.98 respectively. The results of the study showed that there was not a significant relationship between the age, gender and marital status of nurses on one hand and their professional values scores on the other (P=0.7). Conclusion: There is need for effective programs to enhance nurses' awareness of certain of their professional duties and improve their professional performance in a wide range of professional areas alongside their duties as care-givers.
