“…This system of values and beliefs is reflected by the way nursing care is provided, and may be influenced by social, cultural and/or political factors. These values can be modified through educational, clinical and personal experience (Jiménez‐López et al ; Parandeh et al ). Universities must play a key role in the adoption of these values (Kantek et al ; Kaya et al ).…”

Aim To compare Spanish nursing students' and registered nurses' perception of professional values from the perspective of gender and professional experience. Background Nursing has traditionally been a female profession; however, the analysis of professional nursing values from a gender perspective has received little attention. The integration of professional values typically begins during academic life and is, thereafter, reinforced during professional activities. Methods A descriptive cross‐sectional study was conducted with 159 students (97.4% females) and 386 registered nurses (86.8% females) from primary healthcare centres, hospitals and management positions within the public health system. The validated Spanish adaptation of the Nurses Professional Values Scale was used. This instrument measures three dimensions: ethics, commitment and professional mastery. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data, together with bivariate analysis using the chi‐squared test. Results Females granted more importance to professional values. Important gender differences among students were detected. Ethical values were considered to be the most important for both students and nurses, followed by professional mastery and commitment. The importance given to values progressively decreased in the groups under study: students, less‐experienced nurses and expert nurses (in decreasing order). Conclusions Significant gender differences exist with regard to professional nursing values. The values related to professional commitment and mastery should be integrated and promoted during academic education and specifically focus on male students' perceptions. As professional experience increases, the importance attributed to professional values decreases. Implications for Nursing Policy Professional nursing values should be promoted among universities, health services and professional organizations, encouraging their dissemination, implementation and evaluation.

“…In their study, Bentzen et al (2013) reported that nurses understood that ethical values are of critical significance for the quality of care in the nursing profession. Several researchers have recognized the significance of ethical values, highlighting that professional values symbolize the fundamental beliefs of what is right, good or desirable (Cetinkaya-Uslusoy et al 2015;Gallegos & Sortedahl 2015;Jimenez-Lopez et al 2014;LeDUC & Kotzer 2009).…”

“…Similar data was obtained by Lewicka et al [23] in a group of nursing and midwifery students. A Spanish study conducted with a group of 589 nurses and 2,295 students of nursing has shown that health ranks fifth among the values advocated by working nurses, and third with nurs-ing students [18]. Different results had obtained Rassin [24] in the study on personal and professional values among Israeli nurses, for whom values such as respect for personal dignity, altruism and trust, honesty, responsibility and reliability were indicated as a manifestation of motivation and personal attitude, influencing the realization of the professional role.…”

“…In turn, studies on the hierarchy of values among nurses or nursing students, indicating the position they tend to attribute to health as a part of their hierarchy of values, are rather rare [17]. International research lean towards focusing on analyzing the axiological system followed by nurses, based on the profession they perform and related decision-making process [18]. Therefore, our and the participants were offered the option to withdraw their consent to participate in the study at any time.…”

Introduction: Defining the idea of health and placing it within a personal hierarchy of values is often the foundation of choice of behaviors that determine a lifestyle. Aim of the research: The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the significance of health in the hierarchy of nurses' personal values, including socio-demographic variables. Material and methods: A total of 191 nurses, who were students of bridging studies of the first and second cycles at the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Medical University of Lublin, Poland and at the University of Business and Enterprise in Ostrowiec-Świętokrzyski, Poland, were included in the analysis. The study was conducted in 2014 and 2015. A standardized research tool, the personal values list (PVL) of Z. Juczyński was applied. Results:The results of the study show that for the nurses, the most important aspects of happiness that define life satisfaction are "successful family life" (3.83 points), "good health" (3.55), and "favorite profession or work" (2.05). Personal values that are evaluated as highest by the respondents are "good health, physical, and mental fitness" (3.77 points), "love and friendship" (3.55) and, less commonly, "knowledge and wisdom" (1.75). The respondents of the eldest age group (above forty), had a tendency to value "good health, physical, and mental fitness" significantly higher in terms of personal value (p = 0.0007), in comparison with the respondents of the younger age groups, for whom "intelligence and mental acuity" is more important (p = 0.06). Conclusions: Health constitutes the highest value in the hierarchy of personal values indicated by the nurses and significantly conditions their satisfaction with life. Socio-demographic variables such as age, education, marital status, place of residence, and workplace influence the rank of health in the system of values for the surveyed nurses.
