Analyzing how nurses handle professionalism in their careers will help all concerned individuals identify areas of concern to develop and enhance further to achieve or maintain a high degree of professionalism.
This study aimed to determine the level of professionalism among nurses and its differences according to socio-demographic characteristics.
A quantitative cross-sectional approach was utilized in three significant regions of Saudi Arabia. A simple random sampling technique was employed with 305 respondents, resulting in a 95.9% response rate. A Google Form survey was used to collect the data between January and April 2021.
Nurses perceived themselves highly in professional organization (Mean = 3.94, 0.17), belief in public service (Mean = 3.91, 0.22), belief in self-regulation (Mean = 3.97, 0.08), sense of calling (Mean = 4.01, 0.13), and belief in autonomy (Mean = 3.71, 0.15). There was no significant difference between gender and professional organization, belief in public service, self-regulation, or belief in autonomy. Still, there was a significant difference in belief in public service ( = 2.794; = 0.006) and sense of calling ( = 4.290; = 0.001). As to age, only belief in self-regulation was significant ( = 5.984; = 0.003). Moreover, the educational qualifications reached an insignificant difference in professionalism. Conversely, the type of facility has been found to have reached significant differences with a professional organization ( = 3.057; = 0.029), belief in public service ( = 4.130; = 0.007), beliefs in regulation ( = 3.452; = 0.017), sense of calling ( = 3.211; = 0.023), and belief in autonomy ( = 5.995; = 0.001). Lastly, the current position found no significant difference in professionalism.
Nurses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia perceived themselves as highly professional, and male nurses were found to have a sense of calling more than their female counterparts. Age, educational qualification, and current position had no significant difference in professionalism. Conversely, the type of facility had a significant difference with the belief in autonomy. These findings support and sustain the role of nurses in this 21st-century health care that is significantly needed to provide the most quality care.
分析护士在职业生涯中如何处理职业素养，将有助于所有相关人员确定需要关注、发展和进一步提升的领域，以实现或保持高度的职业素养。
本研究旨在确定护士的职业素养水平及其在社会人口学特征方面的差异。
在沙特阿拉伯的三个重要地区采用定量横断面研究方法。采用简单随机抽样技术，选取305名受访者，回复率为95.9%。2021年1月至4月期间，通过谷歌表单调查收集数据。
护士在职业组织（均值=3.94，标准差=0.17）、对公共服务的信念（均值=3.91，标准差=0.22）、对自我监管的信念（均值=3.97，标准差=0.08）、使命感（均值=4.01，标准差=0.13）以及对自主性的信念（均值=3.71，标准差=0.15）方面对自己评价较高。性别与职业组织、对公共服务的信念、自我监管或对自主性的信念之间没有显著差异。然而，在对公共服务的信念方面存在显著差异（F=2.794；P=0.006），在使命感方面也存在显著差异（F=4.290；P=0.001）。至于年龄，只有对自我监管的信念存在显著差异（F=5.984；P=0.003）。此外，教育程度在职业素养方面没有显著差异。相反，已发现医疗机构类型在职业组织方面存在显著差异（F=3.057；P=0.029），在对公共服务的信念方面（F=4.130；P=0.007），在对监管的信念方面（F=3.452；P=0.017），在使命感方面（F=3.211；P=0.023），以及在对自主性的信念方面（F=5.995；P=0.001）。最后，当前职位在职业素养方面没有显著差异。
沙特阿拉伯王国的护士认为自己具有高度专业性，并且发现男护士比女护士更有使命感。年龄、教育程度和当前职位在职业素养方面没有显著差异。相反，医疗机构类型在对自主性的信念方面存在显著差异。这些发现支持并维持了护士在21世纪医疗保健中的作用，这对于提供最优质的护理至关重要。
