This study aimed to explore how the nurse anesthetist values their professional self, compared with their peers, and also to explore whether professional self is affected by age, work experience, and/or gender.
An explorative and prospective cross-sectional design.
During April 2011, a total of 108 registered nurse anesthetists from three different hospitals were surveyed using the Professional Self-Description Form with questions covering 21 items.
A total of 87 (80%) responded: 21 men and 66 women with a mean age of 45 years (range, 28 to 64 years) and mean professional experience of 12 years (range, 1 to 41 years). Four factors were found: professionalism, trait of character, scientific knowledge, and empathy, with Cronbach alpha of 0.96 overall. Analysis showed that perceived professional self depends on age and amount of work experience, but not on gender.
The Professional Self-Description Form exhibits satisfactory internal consistency. Work experience and age influenced the development of professional self of nurse anesthetists.
本研究旨在探讨麻醉护士如何看待自己的职业身份，与同行相比有何不同，同时探讨职业身份是否受到年龄、工作经验和/或性别的影响。
探索性前瞻性横断面设计。
2011年4月，对来自三家不同医院的108名注册麻醉护士进行了调查，使用职业自我描述表，涵盖21个项目的问题。
共87人（80%）回复：21名男性和66名女性，平均年龄45岁（范围28至64岁），平均职业经验12年（范围1至41年）。发现四个因素：专业精神、性格特质、科学知识和同理心，总体Cronbach α为0.96。分析表明，感知到的职业身份取决于年龄和工作经验的多少，而不取决于性别。
职业自我描述表具有令人满意的内部一致性。工作经验和年龄影响麻醉护士职业身份的发展。
