Developing professional values among undergraduate nursing students is important since such values are a significant predictor of quality care, clients' recognition, and therefore nurses' job satisfaction. This study explored South Korean nursing students' perception of nursing professional values (NPV) and compared the NPV scores between groups according to participants' demographic characteristics. The study participants comprised of 529 students, mostly female (96.4%), with a mean age of 22.29years, sampled from six universities throughout the country. The NPV scores, measured with the 29-item Likert scale developed by Yeun et al. (2005), were significantly higher in students who entered nursing schools following their aptitude or desire for professional job than in those who entered the schools just because their entrance exam scores were sufficient. The NPV scores were also higher in students who were planning to pursue graduate study than in those who had not yet decided. The NPV scores were significantly different between the six regions, suggesting needs of in-depth studies to understand the underlying reasons. The NPV scores were not correlated, at the .05 level of significance, with academic year, gender, or academic performance.
培养本科护生的专业价值观很重要，因为这些价值观是优质护理、患者认可的重要预测因素，也是护士工作满意度的重要预测因素。本研究旨在探讨韩国护理专业学生对护理专业价值观（NPV）的认知，并根据参与者的人口统计学特征对NPV 评分进行组间比较。研究对象为来自全国六所大学的 529 名学生，他们大多为女性（96.4%），平均年龄为 22.29 岁。NPV 评分采用 Yeun 等人（2005 年）开发的 29 项李克特量表进行测量，与因入学考试成绩足够而进入护理学校的学生相比，因有专业工作的兴趣或愿望而进入护理学校的学生的 NPV 评分显著更高。计划继续攻读研究生的学生的 NPV 评分也高于尚未决定的学生。NPV 评分在六个地区之间存在显著差异，表明需要进行深入研究以了解其背后的原因。NPV 评分与学年、性别或学业成绩均无显著相关性（P>.05）。
