Background/Objective: Print, broadcast and social media in Jamaica have highlighted numerous negative attitudes and behaviours of practicing nurses, while anecdotal reports indicate that attitudes and values displayed by a significant number of nursing students have been less than desirable. Professional values of nursing students are engendered during interactions and associations with nursing professionals; therefore, this study aims to determine professional values of nursing students as well as associations between age and professional values. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted among 102 randomly selected third year students from a school of nursing. Data were collected using a modified version of the 5-dimension (Caring, Trust, Professionalism, Activism and Justice) 26-item Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R) Tool. This tool has a scale ranging from 1-5 with 1 representing "not important" and 5 representing "most important". Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0. Descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviation were used to summarize the data. Results: The response rate was 98% and all respondents were females aged 19-39 years. Overall mean scores for the tool were high (4.40 ± 0.51). Trust scored highest (4.62 ± 0.41) and Caring lowest (4.20 ± 0.52). Also, of the 26 items, "honest and accurate documentation" scored highest (4.88 ± 0.41) and the item "willing to take risks to protect clients and colleagues", scored lowest (3.15 ± 1.08). The oldest respondents (25-39 years) scored highest on items related to Professionalism but lowest on Caring, Activism and Justice; while the youngest respondents (19-21 years) scored lowest on Professionalism. Conclusions: Caring and Professionalism received the lowest scores. Notably, the value of Professionalism increased with age while the Caring value decreased. In an effort to improve all professional values among future nurses, a multi-dimensional approached should be undertaken to maintain the standards of nursing care and to improve public perception.

“…The findings of this study indicated a significant positive correlation between nurses' moral sensitivity and patients' satisfaction with the quality of nursing care. In explaining such finding, it can be said that moral sensitivity may increase the ability to communicate effectively and professionally, empathy, accountability and improve the quality of nurses' working life [18,21,[24][25][26] and increase patients' satisfaction through improving nursing care behaviors [27].…”

Patient satisfaction is considered as an important indicator of the quality and effectiveness of health system. Moral sensitivity plays an important role in how professional responsibilities and moral decisions are made by nurses. This study aims to investigate the relationship between nurses' moral sensitivity and patients' satisfaction with quality of nursing care. This study is descriptive and analytic. First, nurses in internal, surgical and special wards were selected through census method. Then, patients were selected using quota sampling to the ratio of nurses from each section. Data were collected through Demographic Questionnaires, Patient Satisfaction Instrument and Moral Sensitive Questions. Data were analyzed using SPSS 23. There was a significant positive correlation between nurses' moral sensitivity and patients' satisfaction with quality of nursing care (P<0.05). The majority of patients (70.5%) had moderate level of satisfaction with quality of nursing care. 93.5% of nurses had high moral sensitivity. There was no statistically significant relationship between nurses' moral sensitivity and variables of sex, location of work, marital status, type of responsibility and work shift. Relationship between patient satisfaction and type of admission ward was significant (P = 0.03). Increased moral sensitivity in nurses is effective on improving patients' satisfaction with the quality of nursing care. It is suggested to conduct further research with larger sample size and investigate other factors affecting patient satisfaction in order to ensure the generalizability of research results.
