“…Professional values are also essential in strengthening individuals’ sense of professional identity and their efficiency at work (Poorchangizi et al, 2017). The education process covers the initial stages of learning and transmitting professional values, and this continues through students' observation of role models in their profession and their continuing education after they have graduated (Moyo et al, 2016; Öztürk Dönmez & Altuğ Özsoy, 2018).…”

“…It is anticipated that the analysis of professional values will help guide training that leads to the internalization of these values, and also provide useful information for the development of more effective strategies (Acaroğlu, 2014; Weis & Schank, 2009). Various studies have focused on the professional values of nursing students, (Lafcı et al, 2020; Ulusoy et al, 2018) nurses, (Cetinkaya-Uslusoy et al, 2017; Geçit & Özbayır, 2020; Kaya & İşler Dalgiç, 2020; Poorchangizi et al, 2017; Şenyuva, 2018; Torabizadeh et al, 2019), academic nurses (Öztürk Dönmez & Altuğ Özsoy, 2018) and these three groups together (Bijani et al, 2019). However, to the best of our knowledge, there has as yet been no research in which the concepts of values, ethical sensitivity and care, which are in constant interaction with each other, have been examined together.…”

Nurses’ professional values are closely associated with their ethical sensitivity and the quality of nursing care. The aim of this study was to determine surgical nurses’ perceptions of their professional values, ethical sensitivities and quality of care, the relationship between these variables, and the factors influencing these. The sample of this cross-sectional, descriptive and relational study consisted of 231 nurses working in the surgical units of two university hospitals and a training and research hospital. The study revealed a statistically significant negative relationship between the nurses’ professional values scale median score and the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire median score, and a positive significant relationship between the Nurses' Professional Values Scale median score and the Care Behaviors Scale median score. Having ethical problems in their professional lives increased the ethical sensitivity of nurses, while having a medical-vocational high school and vocational school of health services degree and participation in training/meetings about professional values and ethics increased the perception of the quality of nursing care. Awareness of professional values is crucial in providing quality nursing care that is in line with ethical principles; therefore, it is recommended that the continuity of surgical nurses’ participation in training/meetings on professional values and ethics be ensured, that they be supported to become members of professional associations, and that supportive working environments be provided to improve the quality of nursing care.

AimTo determine the professional values of graduates of master's and doctoral programs in nursing and their views on the contribution of postgraduate education to their professional values.BackgroundIn postgraduate education, which is an important catalyst of professional identity development, a professional is expected to specialize in a field, get into more depth professionally, internalize professional values, and reflect and strengthen these values. To shed light on this expectation, more information is needed to assess the impact of postgraduate education on professional values.MethodsA convergent parallel mixed‐methods design was used. Data were collected for the quantitative part of the study for 385 graduates of postgraduate nursing education programs in Turkey who were selected using the snowball sampling method, while the maximum variation sampling method was used to collect data from 12 individuals for the qualitative part of the study. The Nurses Professional Values Scale (NPVS) and a Semi‐Structured Interview Form were used to collect data in October‐December 2022. The quantitative data obtained in the study were analyzed using the SPSS software, and the qualitative data were analyzed using the MAXQDA software.ResultsThe mean total NPVS score of the participants was 130.32 ± 21.34 (possible range: 31–155). Among all dimensions, the highest mean score of the participants was in the caring dimension, followed by professionalism and activism. There were significant differences in the NPVS total and subscale scores of the participants based on their views on the contributions of age, institution where they worked, marital status, position at work, and postgraduate education to the acquisition of professional values. In the qualitative dimension of the study, two main themes were identified. One of these themes was the theme of professional values in postgraduate nursing education that covered the categories of professional values gained through postgraduate education, professional values that a nurse who has completed postgraduate education should have, and professional values in postgraduate nursing education. The second theme was the theme named recommendations for providing nurses with professional values through postgraduate education. The integration of data from both components indicated that the qualitative interviews enriched the quantitative findings.ConclusionIt was concluded that postgraduate nursing education programs contribute greatly to the professional values of graduates and strengthen their professional values.Implications for nursing and health policyFor the future of nursing, increasing professional strengths and visibility is significantly associated with professional values. This situation requires nurses with strong professional values. Graduate education programs in nursing should be developed in this direction and focus on development of professional values.
