“…The concept significantly influences nurses' capacity to deliver high-quality care and achieve positive health outcomes [10]. A robust professional self-concept enhances nurses' adaptation to real-world challenges, fosters their accountability, and supports evidence-based practice [11][12][13]. Evidence supports that nurses with strong professional self-concept experience higher levels of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and overall well-being, contributing positively to their mental health and coping with professional and daily life challenges [14].…”

Background The professional self-concept of nursing students significantly influences their attitude and identity within the profession, ultimately impacting their mental health and overall well-being. Recent evidence underscores the importance of assessing students’ professional self-concept to prevent adverse outcomes such as burnout and stress. Since there are currently no validated instruments available in Portugal for this purpose, our objective was to translate, adapt, and validate the Nurse Self-Concept Questionnaire (NSCQ) with nursing students in Portugal. Methods A two-phase research study with a non-probabilistic sample of 216 undergraduate nursing students, using the QualtricsXM electronic platform for data collection. An exploratory factor analysis was performed to verify the validity of the theoretical construct and its internal consistency. Cronbach’s alpha was calculated, and a confirmatory factor analysis was performed to assess the model fit. Results The final instrument, designated as Questionário de Autoconceito dos/as Enfermeiros/as (Pt – NSCQ), is composed of 24 items distributed across five dimensions: “General self-concept”, “Staff relations”, “Leadership”, “Communication-care” and “Knowledge”, which explain 67.71% of the total variance. All dimensions and the global scale revealed good internal consistency values, ranging from 0.775 to 0.927. The resulting factorial structure is coherent with the theoretical framework. Conclusion The Pt – NSCQ proved to be a valid and reliable instrument to assess Portuguese nursing students’ professional self-concept. Future studies should be carried out on larger samples and different educational contexts, aligned with the importance to ensure the continuity of the psychometric analysis of the instrument.

“…Studies have shown that evidence-based care can serve as a framework for decisionmaking in specific patient situations, leading to providing safe and cost-effective care, and increasing patient satisfaction, and the selfconfidence of nurses (Liu et al, 2021;Sedgwick et al, 2014). It has also been described as one of the determining factors of nursing professionalism (Asi Karakaş et al, 2021). lor, 1994).…”

AimNursing competencies are crucial indicators for providing quality and safe care. The lack of international agreement in this field has caused problems in the generalization and application of findings. The purpose of this review is to identify the core competencies necessary for undergraduate nursing students to enter nursing work.Data SourcesWe conducted a structured search using Scopus, MEDLINE (PubMed), Science Direct, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.Review MethodsWe conducted a scoping review using the methodology recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute, supported by the PAGER framework, and guided by the PRISMA‐ScR Checklist. Inclusion criteria included full‐text articles in English, quantitative and qualitative research related to competencies for undergraduate students or newly graduated nurses, competency assessment, and tool development from 1970 to 2022. We excluded articles related to specific nursing roles, specific contexts, Master's and Ph.D. curricula, hospital work environment competencies, and editorial.ResultsOut of 15,875 articles, we selected 43 studies, and data analysis with summative content analysis identified five themes named individualized care, professional nursing process, nursing administration, readiness, and professional development.ConclusionConsidering the dynamics of competencies and their change with time, experience, and setting, it is necessary to update, localize, and levelling of the proposed competencies based on the culture of each country.ImpactThese competencies provide a guide for undergraduate nursing curriculum development and offer a framework for both clinical instruction and the evaluation of nursing students.

“…Nurses with high professional self-concept are more accountable for their patients [ 12 ] and work outcomes and see patients more respectfully and interestedly [ 13 ]. It is also worth mentioning that high professional self-concept positively influences the acceptance and demand for evidence-based practice in nursing [ 14 ].…”

Nursing Professional Self-Concept: A Scoping Review Protocol

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nurses are considered one of the largest professional groups in healthcare, generating positive health outcomes for people at various stages of life. A significant impact on the construction of the professional self—or professional self-concept—is considered to exist through the educational process, influenced by factors such as the family and societal expectations often presented by teachers, tutors, and peers. Improving professional self-concept in nursing can offer specific gains in personal, relational, social, and interpersonal communication skills, favoring evolution in the academic and clinical path. This scoping review aims to map the literature related to the state of knowledge regarding professional self-concept in nursing. This scoping review will follow JBI recommendations with the PCC mnemonic and report its findings through PRISMA-ScR using a specific instrument made by the researchers. Providing healthcare complying with high scientific standards requires the professional to have enough self-confidence in his work and skills. The explicit acknowledgement of professional self-concept is essential for any educational tutor or experienced mentor to promote mental health and academic and professional performance.
