“…That is because improved career identity can benefit the enthusiasm in nursing work.

Aim This study aimed to investigate the effect of career identity on career success among Chinese male nurses and to examine the mediating role of work engagement in this relationship. Background Recently, with the development of the nursing career, male nurses take up a higher share and play a more important role in the nursing team. With its own particularity and advantages, this group's stability closely relates to the future of the nursing team. Therefore, promoting the career success of the male nurses is essential to the nursing team development. Methods The data were collected in China. A sample of 557 male nurses completed measures of career identity, work engagement and career success scale. Structural equation model was adopted to verify the research hypotheses. Results Career identity was significantly and positively related to male nurses' work engagement and career success (p < .01). And work engagement partially mediated the association between career identity and career success. Conclusion Career identity is critical to predicting and enhancing male nurses' career success. Work engagement plays an intervening mechanism explaining how career identity promotes career success among male nurses. Implications for Nursing Management Nursing management should minimize the impact of the traditional concept, implement the gender equality and provide moderate care for male nurses to facilitate balanced development of gender by upgrading the management system. The administrators should carry out skill training based on male nurses' features and the need of the department. Given full play to their respective advantages, male nurses will make great progress in professional development and achieve greater career identity and work engagement. Meanwhile, the further exploration of better incentive mechanism also makes sense in improving career identity and work engagement by the reform of performance appraisal mechanism and salary adjustment according to their ability.

Professional self-esteem (PSE) is the individual’s judgment of worthiness formed regarding the self-attributions related to the individual’s profession. A well-developed PSE is important for midwives to be successful in their profession, have a strong sense of belonging, and see the profession as important and valuable. This study aims to determine the perception of PSE among midwifery students, explain how their perceptions are formed, and reveal how they perceive the midwifery profession and how the components that make up this perception determine their PSE. Students’ average PSE score was analyzed, and the study was conducted using an explanatory sequential, which is a mixed-method approach, to interpret the results of the questionnaire and comparative analysis in more detail through direct interviews with university midwifery program students in western Turkey. Quantitative data were collected using the Individual Data Collection Form and the Professional Self-Esteem Scale. One-way analysis variance and independent sample t-tests were used to analyze the quantitative data. The students with the highest and lowest scale scores from each class level were interviewed using a Semi-Structured Interview Form. Thematic analysis was applied to analyze the qualitative data. The mean PSES score was 117.51 ± 17.60. The t-test analysis result shows that there was a significant difference between the PSES score and choosing the midwifery department willingly, believing that they could perform the midwifery profession before and after starting the midwifery education (p < 0.05). Three main themes were obtained: the meaning of being a midwife, deciding to become a midwife, and the difficulties of being a midwife. It can be said that the main force behind the students’ belief that the difficulties of the midwifery profession can be overcome is their strong love for the midwifery profession and their internalization of its importance.
