Nurse educators have had no clear evidence-based method to evaluate student competency related to professional values. This article describes a comparative analysis in which the list of professional values identified in a research study of undergraduate prelicensure nursing student assignments was compared with a list identified in an integrative review of nursing literature. Comparative analysis allowed for a categorization of professional values that were either congruent between student assignments and literature, exclusively evident in literature, or exclusively evident in student assignments. Findings may contribute to curricular process improvements promoting professional values development in undergraduate nursing students.
护理教育工作者一直没有基于明确证据的方法来评估与专业价值观相关的学生能力。本文描述了一项比较分析,即将本科护理专业预执照学生作业研究中确定的专业价值观列表与护理文献综合综述中确定的列表进行比较。比较分析允许对专业价值观进行分类,这些价值观在学生作业和文献中要么是一致的,要么仅在文献中明显,要么仅在学生作业中明显。研究结果可能有助于改进课程过程,促进本科护理学生的专业价值观发展。
