This process takes place officially and unofficially at faculties during the study period and continues toward the completion of nursing education and entering the work environment. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate nursing students' perceptions on the role of instructors and institute in their professional socialization. Materials & Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, all nursing students (n=175) were studied at the end of the 2, 4, 6, and 8 semesters in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, 2017. A questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic characteristics, instructors characteristics, and institute characteristics. Data analysis was carried out using SPSS (V. 13) and descriptiveinferential statistics. Results: The results showed that in the professional socialization of nursing students, the role of instructors was moderate to high and the role of the institute was moderate to low. Among the characteristics of the instructors, the personality traits and educational behaviors had a higher mean score. In this study, compassion, professional communication, preparation of the students for professional responsibilities, and the making a connection between the subjects and nursing values were reported as significant features of instructors in socialization. Students' perceptions on personality traits (P = 0.023), the nature of the relationship (P =0.002 and educational behaviors (P =0.014) differed significantly in different semesters. The institute did not play a significant role in the professional socialization of students so that only 19 individuals (13.1%) were satisfied with socialization. Conclusion: In this study, students' perceptions of the role of instructors and institutes were varied in different semesters, and it was found that instructors, in comparison to the institution, played a better role in the professional socialization of nursing students. It is recommended that the role of the institution should be improved in the process of professional socialization of nursing students.

Iranian nurses' perception of the public image of nursing and its association with their quality of working life

“…A positive PI of nursing is one factor which reflects high‐quality nursing care and is recognized by nurses and other groups for the difference it makes to patients' well‐being and will contribute to the empowerment of the profession (Takase et al., 2002, Ulmer, 2000). On the other hand, a poor PI of nursing is one of the biggest barriers to professionalization (Habibzadeh et al., 2013), professional socialization (Valizadeh et al., 2016b), professional autonomy (Roshanzadeh et al., 2018) and professional identity (Valizadeh & Ghorbani, 2016) of nursing in Iran. A poor PI of nursing may negatively impact not only the recruitment and retention, but also the attitudes towards work, work behaviours and performance of those in the nursing profession (Takase et al., 2002,2006, Wallace, 2007).…”

Professional Socialization of Nursing Students and Its Relationship with Self-Esteem

“…This finding is consistent with the results of Choi et al (13). Valizadeh et al have introduced low selfconfidence and lack of professional independence as obstacles to professional socialization (28). Robins et al also showed that people with high self-esteem are emotionally stable, extroverted, and conscientious to show a good degree of socialization (29).…”
