The findings may be related to gender difference ( Wei et al, 2021 ) and nursing students’ previous experiences ( Hunt et al, 2020 ) with normal and healthy cases in children and women care, as well as the society influences for the social prestige in child and women health.…”

“…A study in Poland also shows negative motivations, namely that young people sometimes choose the nursing profession without awareness of what it involves, also, students have a different view of nurses' work before starting the university program [11]. College students generally choose a career before considering their professional interests and, therefore, they enter a field of study without knowing their future [12]. According to the World Health Organization is needed at least 6 million new nursing jobs will need to be created by 2030, predominantly in areas where the shortage is projected to be worse, such as in low-and middle-income countries [13].…”

Aim This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of lateral violence (LV) experienced by nursing students during their internship, explore the difference between professional identity and professionalism among nursing students who had or had not experienced LV and analyse the mediating effect of professional identity on the relationship between LV and professionalism. Design A cross‐sectional survey was used. Methods An online anonymous survey was distributed to nursing students (N = 298) in Jiangsu province, China from June to July 2021. The questionnaire consisted of sections on lateral violence, professional identity and nursing professionalism. Results Approximately 49.7% of the nursing students experienced LV behaviour during the internship period. Students who experienced LV had lower professional identity and professionalism than those who did not. Among the students, LV was negatively correlated with professional identity (r = −0.333, p < 0.001) and professionalism (r = −0.418, p < 0.001). The relationship effect of LV on nursing professionalism was partly mediated by professional identity. Conclusion Nearly half of the nursing students suffered from LV in the workplace, and this condition remarkably influenced nursing professionalism through professional identity. Both quantitative and qualitative studies are needed to investigate the factors that influence LV development in detail.
