This study was aimed at measuring professional and personal values among nursing students. The participants were 180 students tested according to 36 personal values and 20 professional values. The findings indicated that passing time has not harmed the fundamental values on which the nursing profession is based: human dignity, the prevention of suffering, reliability, and faithful relationships. Devaluation was observed in the values of equality among patients, and altruism, which were graded only in fifth and sixth place, respectively. It is necessary to consider the regression in the values: imagination, ambition, and cleanliness, which were graded among the bottom values on the list. Significant differences were found in the grading of several personal and professional values, as a function of ethnic origin. Results may help understand motives of nursing students and assist in promoting bachelor of nursing programmes while taking into consideration the unique characteristics of the student group.
本研究旨在测量护理专业学生的职业价值观和个人价值观。参与者为 180 名学生，他们接受了 36 项个人价值观和 20 项职业价值观的测试。研究结果表明，随着时间的推移，护理专业所基于的基本价值观并未受到损害，这些价值观包括人的尊严、预防痛苦、可靠性和忠实的关系。然而，在患者平等和利他主义这两个价值观上，人们的重视程度有所降低，它们的评级分别仅为第五和第六位。需要考虑价值观的回归：想象、野心和清洁，它们在列表中被评为最低价值。根据种族背景的不同，在一些个人和职业价值观的评级上存在显著差异。研究结果可以帮助我们理解护理学生的动机，并在考虑到学生群体的独特特征的情况下，为护理学士课程的推广提供帮助。
