“…Some also lacked knowledge about the various areas that nurses could specialize in. This lack of knowledge was in line with the image that the media presents of nurses ( Heierle Valero, 2009 ). There has been misinformation and confusion and the profession has a poor image.…”

“…Very few Spanish studies have directly addressed how nurses are seen by society. One exception was Heierle Valero (2009) , who analysed the images of nurses published in the newspaper El País between 2004 and 2006. The results showed that nursing had little impact on this medium and that it was seen as a subordinate profession without its own identity.…”

Background Only a few Spanish studies have explored how nurses are seen by society and no validated tools exist for this purpose in the scientific literature. Objectives The aim was create and evaluate the psychometric characteristics of a questionnaire that explored the social representation of nursing in social and health care. Methods Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to develop the questionnaire and the first version was created based on existing studies. A three-round Delphi technique was used that involved nurses, doctors, journalists and a politician. The pilot questionnaire was then tested and retested with 23 journalism students, with an interval of 10–14 days between the two phases. After further modifications, the questionnaire was sent to all the third and fourth year journalism students at the University of the Basque Country. Principal component factor analysis was used to identify the key components for the questionnaire. Results A total of 141 third and fourth year journalism students took part in the study. The internal consistency of the 43-item perception section of the questionnaire had a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.90. The 42.7% agreed or strongly agreed that nursing was an eminently scientific profession and 26.3% agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that nurses were presented in the media as health educators and disseminators. Just under a fifth (19.9%) agreed with the statement that society was aware of the competencies that nurses required. Conclusions The questionnaire provided the first validated tool that allowed researchers to assess how nursing, and all of its areas of professional development, were perceived by society. This could enable studies to assess the evolution of the profession over time and between different socio-cultural contexts.

“…Its objective was to know the perception held by the population regarding Nursing. The following results stand out: 17% of the young individuals and 15% of the adults answered that the main function of female and male nurses is to assist the medical figure; just 39% of the young individuals and 50% of the adult population stated that Nursing professionals made use of critical thinking, intelligence and problem resolution; and 40% thought that nurses helped the medical professionals [ 17 ].…”

Social Image of Nursing. An Integrative Review about a Yet Unknown Profession

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Nursing is a discipline on which stereotypes have persisted throughout its history, considering itself a feminine profession and subordinated to the medical figure, without its own field of competence. All this leads to an image of the Nursing Profession that moves away from reality, constituting a real, relevant and high-impact problem that prevents professional expansion, and that has a direct impact on social trust, the allocation of resources and quality of care, as well as wages and professional satisfaction. The aim of this review was to identify and publicize the published material on the social image of Nursing, providing updated information about the different approaches to the subject. Methods: An integrative review of the literature has been made from primary sources of information published from 2010 to 2020. For this, the databases CINAHL, Scopus, SciELO, Dialnet and Cuiden have been consulted. Results: In total, 17 articles have been included in the review, with qualitative, quantitative, and even bibliographic reviews performed in countries such as Spain, Egypt, Argentina, Iran, Venezuela, Turkey, United Kingdom, and Australia. The results of those papers mostly showed that society has misinformation about the functions performed by nursing professionals, which is based on myths and stereotypes. Conclusions: Nursing is a profoundly unknown and invisible profession, as society continues without recognizing its competence, autonomy and independence.

“…The social image of a profession is dependent on how it is reproduced within the different communication media. It has been demonstrated that mass media has a lot of power to reflect the truth of what has already happened in society and providing native culture monitoring (Heierle Valero 2009).…”

Background: Because media have an essential role in people's insight into different professions, this study was carried out to investigate the part of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in the public attitude toward the nursing profession in people living in Arak City, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in the first six months of 2018. The study sample comprised 400 citizens who were selected by cluster sampling method. The public engagement with Iran national broadcasting and the people's perspective toward nursing profession were measured using two researcher-made questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient in SPSS V. 16. Results: The results showed that 67% of the participants have engaged with the media. The average score of non-professional (65.15±11.21) attitude toward the nursing profession was more than the professional attitudes level 1 (64.40±12.03) and level 2 (18.44±3.58). Engagement with national media was associated with non-professional attitude toward nursing (P=0.032) while it was not related to professional attitude level 1 (P=0.62) and level 2 (P=0.22). Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that people's engagement with the media is related to the creation of a non-professional attitude toward nursing profession, i.e. the more people interact with broadcasting, the less professional attitude toward nursing they have. Producing programs which shows a real professional and accurate picture of nurses in Iran broadcasting are recommended.
