Establishing a professional identity in nursing is integral to professional development, yet this area of inquiry remains understudied.
This segment of a multiphased national study measured nursing faculty's perceived level of importance regarding key components of professional identity in nursing using the newly developed Professional Identity in Nursing Survey (PINS).
Fifty subject matter experts from nursing education, practice, and regulation utilized the DeVellis scale development process to develop the PINS over the course of 2 years. Nearly 1200 nurse educators evaluated the importance of a 34-item scale relating to professional identity in nursing.
At endorsement of 95% or greater, 28 items were found to be important components of nursing identity. Effective communication, integrity, and being trustworthy and respectful were reported as most important to nursing identity.
Nurse educators identified the important items to assess professional identity in nursing. Item refinement and psychometric evaluation of the survey are the next phase of the multiphased study.
在护理专业中，建立专业身份对于专业发展至关重要，但这方面的研究仍有待深入。
本研究是一个多阶段全国性研究的一部分，使用新开发的护理专业身份调查（PINS）测量护理教师对护理专业身份关键组成部分的感知重要性。
来自护理教育、实践和监管领域的 50 名主题专家利用 DeVellis 量表开发过程，在 2 年内开发了 PINS。近 1200 名护理教师评估了与护理专业身份相关的 34 项量表的重要性。
在达到 95%或更高的认可率后，确定了 28 项是护理身份的重要组成部分。有效的沟通、正直、值得信赖和尊重被认为是护理身份最重要的方面。
护理教师确定了评估护理专业身份的重要项目。该调查的项目细化和心理测量评估是多阶段研究的下一阶段。
