“…Professionalism is a multi-faceted concept that offers opportunities for nurses' personal and professional growth. 32 This key trait is the relationship involving the nurse and the patient. Nursing professionalism mirrors the approach in which nurses analyze their work and serves as a lead in their practice towards ensuring patient safety and quality care.…”

Background Professionalism is a key trait connecting the nurse and patient, and Code of Professional Conduct, a professional legitimacy in considering nursing as a profession and an essential tool that facilitates nurse practice. This study aims to develop Nurse Professionalism Scale using the Code of Professional Conduct for Nurses in India and test the psychometric properties. Methods A sample of 1054 registered nurses working in various work areas at different levels and sectors of health care was selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through self-report from registered nurses and multi-source feedback from their supervisors and colleagues. A total of 830 self-reported data sets, 687 supervisor and 747 colleague responses were received. Following data cleaning, complete sets of 644 self-supervisor-colleague responses were used for analysis using exploratory factor analysis in SPSS version 25 and confirmatory factor analysis in AMOS 22. Results Reliability estimate for internal consistency of the 38 item scale was .910 (self report), .951 (supervisor feedback) and .952 (colleague feedback). Exploratory factor analysis using self-reports extracted five factors with 22 items at Eigen values > 1. Items with communalities ≥ .4 and factor loadings ≥ .5 were retained. Five factors explained total cumulative variance extracted at 51 percent and KMO value of .893 indicated sample adequacy. Bartlett Test of Sphericity was significant (χ2 = 3318, df = 231, p < .000). The factors are labelled with reference to the original code and higher factor loading. CFA using supervisors feedback (CMIN/DF = 2.938; GFI = .926, TLI = .927; CFI = .939 and RMSEA = .055) and colleagues feedback (CMIN/DF = 3.165; GFI = .921, TLI = .908; CFI = .923 and RMSEA = .058) yielded acceptable model fit indices confirming the psychometric properties. Conclusions The scale can be used as a tool to evaluate professionalism among nurses across different settings. Multisource feedback from stakeholders can also be considered as an effective method of gathering data on this construct.

“…It is plausible that the organising and co‐ordination tasks enhance home‐care nurses’ autonomy, a core characteristic of professionalism (Hall, ; Pavalko, ). Autonomy is frequently reported in the literature as an essential prerequisite for increased professionalism in nursing (Alidina, ; Varjus, Leino‐Kilpi, & Suominen, ; Wade, ).…”

The World Health Organization is calling for a fundamental change in healthcare services delivery, towards people-centred and integrated health services. This includes providing integrated care around people's needs that is effectively co-ordinated across providers and co-produced by professionals, the patient, the family and the community. At the same time, healthcare policies aim to scale back hospital and residential care in favour of home care. This is one reason for the home-care nursing staff shortages in Europe. Therefore, this study aimed to examine whether people-centred, integrated home care appeals to nurses with different levels of education in home care and hospitals. A questionnaire survey was held among registered nurses in Dutch home-care organisations and hospitals in 2015. The questionnaire addressed the perceived attractiveness of different aspects of people-centred, integrated home care. In total 328 nurses filled in the questionnaire (54% response rate). The findings showed that most home-care nurses (70% to 97%) and 36% to 76% of the hospital nurses regard the different aspects of people-centred, integrated home care as attractive. Specific aspects that home-care nurses find attractive are promoting the patient's self-reliance and having a network in the community. Hospital nurses are mainly attracted to health-related prevention and taking control in complex situations. No clear differences between the educational levels were found. It is concluded that most home-care nurses and a minority of hospital nurses feel attracted to people-centred, integrated home care, irrespective of their educational level. The findings are relevant to policy makers and home-care organisations who aim to expand the home-care nursing workforce.

“…Professionalization is a multi-dimensional concept that ensures nurses develop personally and professionally. This process requires knowledge, skills, development of the characteristics of a professional identity related to a particular profession and internationalization of the values and norms of the professional group (Alidina, 2013). Professionalism is assessed according to individual characteristics and behaviour, relations with other individuals and the context of operation, as well as social dimensions such as social responsibility, morals, and political and economic responsibility.…”

“…Profesionalizem je večdimenzionalni koncept, ki medicinskim sestram zagotavlja priložnosti za osebnostno in profesionalno rast. Ta proces zahteva znanje, veščine, razvoj značilnosti poklicne identitete profesije in internacionalizacijo vrednot in norm profesionalne skupine (Alidina, 2013). Profesionalizem se ocenjuje po individualnih značilnostih in obnašanju, odnosih z drugimi posamezniki in konteksti delovanja ter po socialnih dimenzijah, kot so družbena odgovornost, morala, politična in ekonomska odgovornost, profesionalizem vključuje tudi spoštovanje standardov in kompetenc (Keeling & Templeman, 2013;Fantahun, et al, 2014).…”

Uvod: Stroka postane profesija, kadar s sistematičnim pristopom ustvarja novo znanje in ga prenaša v neposredno delo. Namen raziskave je bil preveriti stališča in razumevanje nekaterih elementov profesionalizacije med strokovnjaki ter prispevati k prepoznavanju dejavnikov pomembnih za razvoj profesionalizacije zdravstvene nege v Sloveniji. Metode: Uporabljena je bila tehnika skupinskega intervjuja. V dveh sekvencah so bili izvedeni štirje skupinski intervjuji, oblikovanih je bilo 15 odprtih izhodišč/vprašanj. Uporabljen je bil sistematični namenski vzorec, skupine so sestavljali strokovnjaki iz kliničnih okolij vseh ravni, učitelji srednješolskega in visokošolskega izobraževanja in študenti magistrskega in doktorskega študija (n = 48). Rezultati: Rezultati prve sekvence dajo tri tematske ugotovitve, rezultati druge sekvence nadaljnje štiri. Sinteza spoznanj obeh sekvenc je podala dve nadtemi. Prva je nacionalna odgovornost, le-ta vključuje odgovornost menedžmenta zdravstvene nege, visokošolskih zavodov in Zbornice – Zveze za razvoj zdravstvene nege kot znanstvene discipline. Druga nadtema so nacionalni kazalniki uresničevanja nacionalne odgovornosti, le-ti vključujejo (1) sistematizacijo delovnih mest za štiri ravni kompetenc, (2) raziskovanje in razvoj kot orodje dela in (3) nacionalni inštitut za raziskave v zdravstveni negi. Diskusija in zaključek: Odgovornosti za razvoj profesionalizacije so medsektorske. Potrebni sta jasna in ambiciozna vizija ter strategija razvoja zdravstvene nege, ki naj vključuje odgovornost za postavitev nove paradigme razvoja zdravstvene nege, ki bo odziv na potrebe družbe, stroke in znanosti. Strategija naj bo podprta z načrtno razdelitvijo sredstev za njeno uresničevanje.
