A survey was undertaken to identify the developing perception of the staff nurse role by student nurses in two health districts of one regional health authority using a questionnaire specially developed for the survey. A sample of 190 was selected from student nurses, staff nurses and sisters, working within those areas used for general nurse teaching at the two districts. The results indicate that first-year student nurses hold perceptions of the importance of the functions of the staff nurse role which are significantly different from the staff nurse whilst second-year students respond in the same way as staff nurses. Third-year student nurses hold a perception of the staff nurse role which does not differ significantly from that held by staff nurses except for the clinical function. Questions relating to performing within these functions were less easily interpreted. The results do not demonstrate a sequential developing perception of the staff nurse role, rather a change over the first year with some areas of performance remaining different throughout the years of training. Possible reasons for these differences are advanced. Difficulties in generalizing the results due to the limitations of the data obtained, questionnaire design and the locations for the study, are identified.
通过一份专门为此次调查设计的问卷，对某地区卫生管理局两个卫生区的实习护士对注册护士角色不断变化的认知进行了调查。从在这两个区从事一般护士教学工作的实习护士、注册护士和护士长中选取了190名作为样本。结果表明，一年级实习护士对注册护士角色功能重要性的认知与注册护士有显著差异，而二年级实习护士的认知与注册护士相同。三年级实习护士对注册护士角色的认知与注册护士没有显著差异，除了临床功能方面。与在这些功能范围内开展工作相关的问题较难理解。结果并未显示出对注册护士角色的认知有循序渐进的发展，而是在第一年有所变化，且在整个培训期间，某些工作领域仍存在差异。文中提出了造成这些差异的可能原因。同时指出了由于所获数据的局限性、问卷设计以及研究地点等因素，导致研究结果难以推广的困难。
