Professional values of nursing students may be changed considerably by curricula. This highlights the importance of the integration of professional values into nursing students' curricula. The present study aimed to investigate the importance of professional values from nursing students' perspective.
This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Kerman University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Data were gathered by using a two-section questionnaire consisting of demographic data and Nursing Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R). By using the stratified random sampling method, 100 nursing students were included in the study.
Results showed that the mean score of the students' professional values was at high level of importance (101.79 12.42). The most important values identified by the students were "maintaining confidentiality of patients" and "safeguarding patients' right to privacy". The values with less importance to the students were "participating in public policy decisions affecting distribution of resources" and "participating in peer review". The professional value score had a statistically significant relationship with the students' grade point average ( < 0.05).
In light of the low importance of some values for nursing students, additional strategies may be necessary to comprehensively institutionalize professional values in nursing students.
护理专业学生的职业价值观可能会因课程设置而发生很大变化。这凸显了将职业价值观融入护理专业学生课程的重要性。本研究旨在从护理专业学生的角度调查职业价值观的重要性。
本横断面研究在伊朗克尔曼医科大学进行。通过使用一份由人口统计学数据和修订后的护理职业价值观量表（NPVS-R）组成的两部分问卷收集数据。采用分层随机抽样方法，100名护理专业学生被纳入研究。
结果显示，学生职业价值观的平均得分处于高度重要水平（101.79 ± 12.42）。学生认为最重要的价值观是“保护患者隐私”和“维护患者隐私权”。对学生来说不太重要的价值观是“参与影响资源分配的公共政策决策”和“参与同行评审”。职业价值观得分与学生的平均绩点有统计学意义上的关系（P < 0.05）。
鉴于某些价值观对护理专业学生的重要性较低，可能需要额外的策略来全面地将职业价值观在护理专业学生中制度化。
