New Language for the Journey: Embracing a Professional Identity of Nursing

Professional identity is an emerging concept and primary educational objective in many health disciplines. Within nursing, think tank participants gathered to define and name the four domains of professional identity: values and ethics, knowledge, nurse as leader, and professional comportment. These domains can act as signposts for nurses as they navigate the discipline throughout an entire career. New knowledge is developing to understand how a strong professional identity contributes to nurses' flourishing and better outcomes for patients.     

护士职业认同评定量表的研制

目的研制护士用职业认同评价工具,并检测其信度和效度。方法运用访谈法、专家咨询法和文献法设计预试问卷,并运用调查法对224名护士施测,系统分析问卷的信度及效度。结果护士的职业认同评定量表包含5个因子,共30个题目,累计贡献率为58.75%。量表的Cronbach’sα系数为0.938,拆半信度大于0.88。5因子评定量表的χ2/df值为1.85,各拟合指数均达到拟合要求,提示评定量表有较好的信度及效度。结论护士的职业认同评定量表可作为护士职业认同水平的测评工具,有望为护理人力资源管理提供参照依据。     

运用焦点解决取向团体辅导提高护士职业认同

目的探讨焦点解决取向团体辅导对护士职业认同的影响。方法 2015年3-5月,在某医院采取自愿报名的方式招募护士40名为研究对象,其职业认同量表得分≤100分。按随机数字表法将其分为对照组和观察组,每组20名。对照组护士通过与护士长谈心的方式进行干预,而观察组护士进行8次焦点解决取向团体辅导干预。两组护士干预前后即时采用护士职业认同量表、护士留职意愿问卷进行测量,比较两种干预方式的效果。结果干预后,观察组护士职业认同总分为(105.1±17.5)分,高于对照组的(88.10±7.85)分,差异有统计学意义(t=-3.96,P0.01)。干预后,观察组护士留职意愿总分为(20.90±3.58)分,而对照组为(17.00±2.45)分,差异有统计学意义(t=4.02,P0.01)。结论焦点解决取向团体辅导有效提高了护士的职业认同。
