The aim of this concept analysis is to clarify the meaning of professional nursing values.
In a time of increasing ethical dilemmas, it is essential that nurses internalize professional values to develop and maintain a professional identity. However, nursing organizations and researchers provide different conceptions of professional nursing values, leading to a lack of clarity as to the meaning and attributes of this construct.
Walker and Avant's (2011) method was used to guide an analysis of this concept.
Resources published from 1973 to 2016 were identified via electronic databases and hand-searching of reference lists.
A review of the literature was completed and the data were analyzed to identify uses of the concept; the defining attributes of the concept; borderline, related, contrary, and illegitimate examples; antecedents and consequences; and empirical referents.
Professional nursing values were defined as important professional nursing principles of human dignity, integrity, altruism, and justice that serve as a framework for standards, professional practice, and evaluation.
Further research is needed in the development and testing of professional nursing values theory, and the reassessment of values instruments. Core professional values that are articulated may help unify the profession and demonstrate the value of nursing to the public.
本概念分析旨在阐明专业护理价值观的含义。
在伦理困境日益增多的时代，护士将专业价值观内化以形成并维持专业身份至关重要。然而，护理组织和研究人员对专业护理价值观的概念界定各异，导致这一概念的含义和属性缺乏明确性。
采用沃克和阿万特（2011年）的方法指导对这一概念的分析。
通过电子数据库和手动检索参考文献列表，确定了1973年至2016年发表的资源。
完成文献综述并对数据进行分析，以确定该概念的用途、定义属性、边界、相关、相反和不合理的示例、前因和后果以及实证指标。
专业护理价值观被定义为人类尊严、正直、利他主义和正义等重要的专业护理原则，这些原则构成了标准、专业实践和评估的框架。
在专业护理价值观理论的发展与检验以及价值观工具的重新评估方面，仍需进一步开展研究。明确阐述的核心专业价值观可能有助于统一该专业，并向公众展示护理的价值。
