Nursing literature strongly suggests that the self-concept of nurses is an important concept for academics, administrators and clinicians to consider in the development of the profession. Many valuable research projects have added to the data base on the subject, yet there still remain some questions to be answered. This paper explores the notion of self-concept as it relates to the professional working in nursing. In particular, the paper examines nursing research relating to the professional self-concept of nursing, arguing that the 'professional' self-concept of nurses is unique and different from that of the self-concept (while inextricably linked); and that there is room for a new instrument which measures the dimensions of the professional self-concept of nurses. Suggestions for future research include replication and further validation and reliability studies of a new instrument; a cross-cultural study using samples from different countries; testing with various samples from different branches of nursing and further exploring the differences between self-concept and professional self-concept.
护理文献强烈表明，护士的自我概念是学术界、管理人员和临床医生在职业发展中需要考虑的一个重要概念。许多有价值的研究项目为该主题的数据库增添了内容，但仍有一些问题有待解答。本文探讨了与护理专业工作相关的自我概念这一概念。特别是，本文审视了与护士职业自我概念相关的护理研究，认为护士的“职业”自我概念是独特的，与自我概念不同（尽管紧密相连）；并且有空间开发一种新工具来衡量护士职业自我概念的维度。对未来研究的建议包括对新工具进行重复研究以及进一步的效度和信度研究；使用来自不同国家样本的跨文化研究；对来自护理不同分支的各种样本进行测试，并进一步探索自我概念与职业自我概念之间的差异。
