Traditional nursing uniforms have evolved and influenced nursing image, but professional image in nursing is unique and unclear. Institutional policies dictate uniform and appearance standards that portray professionalism in health care environments.
Nurses were questioned using three structured open-ended questions about the nursing uniform and its effects on patients' perceptions of professionalism. Qualitative line-by-line analyses of transcribed data were conducted to identify emerging themes using van Manen's phenomenology.
Participants wore varying uniforms while in nursing school. The influences of uniform evolution on patients' perceptions of professionalism were acknowledged along with current challenges in maintaining a professional image in nursing.
Findings will be used for future exploration of the concept of professional image to improve educational practices that promote a professional work environment and professional image for the discipline. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2018;49(12):555-557.].
传统护士服不断演变并影响着护理形象，但护理专业形象独特且不明确。机构政策规定了在医疗环境中体现专业性的制服和外表标准。
通过三个结构化的开放式问题对护士进行询问，内容涉及护士服及其对患者专业感认知的影响。使用范曼现象学对转录数据进行逐行定性分析，以确定新出现的主题。
参与者在护理学校期间穿着各异的制服。护士服演变对患者专业感认知的影响得到认可，同时也认识到当前在保持护理专业形象方面面临的挑战。
研究结果将用于未来对专业形象概念的探索，以改进促进该学科专业工作环境和专业形象的教育实践。[《护理学继续教育杂志》。2018年；49(12):555 - 557。]
