“…Miller, Adams, and Beck () identified basic attributes of a profession as including educational preparation, research, competence, continuing education, and autonomy, which distinguishes professionals from other workers. In recent years, nursing has focused on expansion of the profession in rapidly changing healthcare environments (Dikmen, Karataş, Arslan & Ak ), mainly due to social, cultural, scientific, and technological changes. The global economic crisis in 2008 and beyond has had huge impacts on health sector funding and employment, with austerity measures affecting service provision and all professionals groups including nurses (Buchan, O'May & Dussault ).…”

Professional identities are important in defining workers' roles, and are concerned with attributes relating to those roles and how they are performed. Evidence shows mental health nurses undertake many different roles as part of their work. Yet, the roles of mental health nurses are insufficiently understood by healthcare staff, service users, and nurses themselves. Mental health nursing work has been deemed invisible and lacking in role clarity. Poor understandings about professional identity of mental health nurses result in difficulties recruiting to the profession, nurses lacking confidence articulating the value of their work, with misunderstandings apparent with service users about the specific role of mental health nursing in their care. The primary focus of this study, conducted in Wales, United Kingdom, was to examine how talk about mental health nursing was handled by participants from multiple perspectives. Data consisted of 17 individual interview transcripts with mental health nurses and 13 interview transcripts from mental health service users, and three focus groups with nursing students. Participants' talk was analysed using thematic analysis. This paper reports how participants described mental health nursing work to have significant role overlap with other multidisciplinary team members. Participants highlighted that mental health nurses often have an ‘in the middle’ label because the complexity of their work can be hard to describe. The implications are pertinent for nurses because if they are considered to be in a liminal position, they risk being perceived as neither one role nor another, resulting in nurses struggling with professional identities and role confidence.

Abstract. Healthcare practice today is changing and advancing rapidly and demands highly professional nurses rather than just those with experience. Professionals are generally defined in terms of a particular body of knowledge obtained through formal education, an expanded level of skills, some type of certification to prove entry to profession, a set of behavioral norms known as professionalism, and attitudes that represent high levels of identification with and commitment to a specific profession. The aim of this study was to determine the professional behavior of nurses. A study data of a total of 500 nurses working in a public hospital in Rizhao were collected using a demographic questionnaire and Behavioral Inventory Form for Professionalism in Nursing (BIPN). A high score means display more professional behavior. The result showed that the scores of the BIPN were 5.67±3.01. The highest professional behavior was continuing education (1.99±0.98). The lowest were autonomy and research (0.11±0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the total BIPN scores and the education of the nurses. The development in professional behaviors in nursing should be assessed.

“…In this study, it was found that the majority of participants did not attend scientific congresses, did not listen to a research presentation about nursing, did not read nursing research and did not conduct research after graduation. Both this study and different studies in the literature have shown that the participation rate of nurses in scientific activities is very low (15)(16)(17). Scientific activities are one of the ways to provide nurses to use the results of scientific research, which constantly renews and adds dynamism to the content and quality of nursing care.…”

Objective: The present study aims to reveal the effects of the education program provided to nurses on their perceived obstacles to conducting scientific research and attitude for scientific research. Materials and Methods:This interventional study in the pre-test post-test model was carried out between February 2018 and August 2018. The universe of this study consisted of nurses working in three major public hospitals in Manisa (N= 1023). The sample was composed of nurses who worked in these hospitals and agreed to participate in this research (n= 106). The sociodemographic questionnaire, the nurse and presentation subscales of the barriers to research utilization scale and the attitude scale for scientific research were used in data collection. The scientific research skills education program was presented to the nurses participating in this research. Results:There was a significant difference between pre and post scores of the participants in the reluctance to help researchers, negative attitude towards research and positive attitude towards researchers subscales of attitude towards scientific research scale (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the pre and post scores of the participants in the subscales of the barriers to research utilization scale and positive attitude towards research subscale of attitude towards scientific research scale (p>0.05). Conclusion:After the educational program, the findings showed that the participants' reluctance to help the researchers and their negative attitudes towards research decreased, and a positive attitude towards researchers increased. As a result, while education intervention affected nurses' attitudes towards research, it had no effect on their perceptions of an obstacle to scientific research.
