Nursing is one of the most trusted professions, yet it is poorly defined. There are many definitions and characterisations of nursing. This study sought to pilot a survey exploring the views of nursing in the 21st century.
This study piloted an electronic survey with open and closed questions. Descriptive statistics were collated for closed questions using Excel. Open-ended questions were analysed using the text analysis program Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) for tone, emotion and criticality.
This pilot study recruited 72 participants from professional and non-professional backgrounds. Respondents displayed diversity in their perceptions of nursing, the role of nurses and the role that nurses perform.
Nursing is a complex, multifaceted profession. The view of nursing was generally positive and authentic although not easy to define. Nursing was felt to be an inclusive profession; however, it is extremely diverse in nature. Further research is required to explore these concepts in greater depth.
目的：探索 21 世纪护理专业的观点。
方法：该研究使用电子问卷对专业和非专业背景的 72 名参与者进行了试点调查，其中包含开放式和封闭式问题。使用文本分析程序 Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count（LIWC）对开放式问题进行分析，以了解语气、情感和批判性。
结果：本研究的参与者对护理、护士的角色以及护士所扮演的角色有着不同的看法。
结论：护理是一个复杂的、多方面的职业。尽管不容易定义，但护理的观点总体上是积极和真实的。护理被认为是一个包容性的职业；然而，它在本质上是极其多样化的。需要进一步的研究来更深入地探讨这些概念。
