Nurs Educ Perspect
November 2019
Aim: The purpose of this study was to identify whether differences exist in nursing professional values based on program type and/or geographic location.
Background: Deliberate inclusion of values formation is critical to nursing education and high-quality nursing care. There is limited research comparing professional values development among students in all types of prelicensure RN programs and no research comparing students' professional values between geographic regions.
Article Synopsis
- * Online learning benefits both students and the nursing field but also introduces challenges, especially student incivility, which can harm the learning environment.
- * The article focuses on the issues caused by student incivility and discusses the development and implementation of a professionalism policy to manage these behaviors, along with recommendations for creating such policies.
Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the development of professionalism in pre-licensure nursing students in associate degree, diploma, and baccalaureate programs.
Background: Concerns have been raised about whether professional values to guide nursing practice are consistently instilled within nursing education programs.
Method: Degrees of professionalism were operationally measured by the 26-item Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R) (Weis & Schank, 2009) in a convenience sample.
