Professional commitment, which constitutes one of the criteria of the professionalisation process, is directly affected by attitude towards the work, constituting the content of nursing profession.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of nurses' attitudes towards work on their professional commitment.
This study is a cross-sectional and analytical study. The data were collected from 293 nurses working at different units in a public hospital between April 2019 and May 2019. The data collection tool includes a 10-question participant information form, the Nurses' Professional Commitment Scale and the Attitude Towards Work Scale. Variables were analysed using multiple linear regression.
The nurses obtained high scores from overall professional commitment and attitude towards work scales and their subscales. Significant differences were found in the scale total and its subscales caused especially by the variables of professional experience, position, income level and the status of willingly choosing the profession ( < 0.05). Nursing professional commitment was predicted by 'content of the work', (β = 0.32, < 0.01), 'working conditions' (β = 0.38, < 0.01), 'co-workers' (β = 0.30, < 0.01) and 'compensation' (β = 0.21, < 0.01), which accounted for 25.6% of the variance in nursing professional commitment.
Ethics committee approval and institutional permissions were obtained. The participants were informed about the study and written consent was obtained.
The nurses who had an increasing duration of professional experience, were working in managerial position, found their income level sufficient and chose the profession willingly had higher professional commitment and attitudes towards work. In addition, a significant correlation was found between nurses' professional commitment and their attitudes towards work, and nurses' professional commitments were explained with their attitudes towards work. It is important to increase and strengthen the attitude towards work that affects nurses' professional commitments.
职业承诺是职业化进程的标准之一，直接受到对工作态度的影响，而工作态度构成了护理职业的内容。
本研究旨在确定护士对工作的态度对其职业承诺的影响。
本研究为横断面分析研究。数据收集于2019年4月至2019年5月期间在一家公立医院不同科室工作的293名护士。数据收集工具包括一份10个问题的参与者信息表、护士职业承诺量表和工作态度量表。使用多元线性回归分析变量。
护士在总体职业承诺和工作态度量表及其子量表上得分较高。尤其在职业经历、职位、收入水平和自愿选择职业状况等变量导致的量表总分及其子量表上发现了显著差异（<0.05）。“工作内容”（β=0.32，<0.01）、“工作条件”（β=0.38，<0.01）、“同事”（β=0.30，<0.01）和“薪酬”（β=0.21，<0.01）可预测护理职业承诺，这四个因素解释了护理职业承诺变异的25.6%。
获得了伦理委员会批准和机构许可。向参与者介绍了研究情况并获得了书面同意。
职业经历年限增加、担任管理职位、认为收入水平足够且自愿选择该职业的护士具有更高的职业承诺和工作态度。此外，发现护士的职业承诺与其工作态度之间存在显著相关性，且护士的职业承诺可用其工作态度来解释。增强和强化影响护士职业承诺的工作态度很重要。
