Differences in professional values between nurses and nursing students: a gender perspective

“…As in other research (Clark ), the students granted more importance to the professional values compared to the nurses. These findings of decreasing professional values do not coincide with other studies (Bijani et al ; Gallegos & Sortedahl ; Monroe, ; Poorchangizi et al ) where the opposite effect was observed. However, our findings about the different appraisal of professional values among students and nurses were recently confirmed in a similar study conducted in Iran, which included the vision of instructor nurses, finding significant differences among the three groups in all the domains analysed.…”

“…These findings partially coincide with other research (Bijani et al ) where justice was the most appreciated value, especially among nursing instructors and nurses, followed by the values directly related to care. If we compare this with our study, ethical values are most important.…”

“…Concerning this issue, according to various studies conducted in Turkey (C ß € opl€ u & Tekinsoy Kartın2018) or Iran (Badiyepeyma et al 2014) in general, a more internalized experience of the concept of nursing has been confirmed among the female students in relation to the professional attributes, professional self-concept or willingness to remain in the profession. Furthermore, as other authors have commented (Bijani et al 2017), there is an important gender influence in professional values, especially in female students.…”

“…To better understand the importance of values and to deepen our knowledge of the study topic, we recommend performing further qualitative studies to obtain a deeper understanding of the differences detected, especially among nursing students, where we have detected significant gender differences as in Ayla et al (2018), in contrast to other studies (Bang 2011;Bijani et al 2017). Although the education received by female and male students is the same, the importance given to the values is clearly different, so that several factors can influence this finding.…”
