The aim of this study was to examine professional identity through the group performances of nurses within a specific work environment.
Professional identity and social identity are closely linked. Nurses undertake clinical practice usually within a social group environment. The literature is limited on the development of professional identity within the context of nurses' daily work.
An integrated ethnographic case context design was adopted, consisting of two clinical wards in one acute health-care facility in Australia. The application of the social identity theory (SIT) was used to study two specific professional activities to describe the group performance of nurses within this organizational cultural context and how this influenced nurses' professional identity.
The research was undertaken between 2012 and 2014. Data collection included observation, interviews and fieldnotes of a convenience sample of nurses and allied health-care professionals who undertook two professional activities in their normal work environment.
The development of group efficacy contributed to the development of the professional identity in the homogenous handover activity. Self-efficacy was demonstrated in the heterogenous multidisciplinary activity.
The results indicated the importance of recognizing core identity-building activities and understanding the value of these activities to professional identity development.
本研究旨在通过护士在特定工作环境中的团队表现来审视职业认同。
职业认同与社会认同紧密相连。护士通常在社会群体环境中开展临床实践。关于护士日常工作背景下职业认同发展的文献有限。
采用综合人种志案例背景设计，研究对象为澳大利亚一家急性医疗机构中的两个临床病房。运用社会认同理论（SIT）来研究两项特定的专业活动，以描述护士在这种组织文化背景下的团队表现以及这如何影响护士的职业认同。
该研究于2012年至2014年进行。数据收集包括对在正常工作环境中开展两项专业活动的护士及相关医疗保健专业人员的便利样本进行观察、访谈和现场记录。
在同质化的交接班活动中，团队效能的发展有助于职业认同的发展。在异质化的多学科活动中展现出了自我效能。
结果表明认识核心身份构建活动以及理解这些活动对职业认同发展的价值的重要性。
