. The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed people's lifestyles by imposing social, economic, and labor changes. Health professionals have been in the spotlight, occasionally even elevated to the status of "heroes", as they have been at the forefront of the health emergency. Media exposure has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in the evolution and perception of the public's image of nurses, especially within the Italian context. Currently, there is only one study conducted in Italy during the pandemic period. For this reason, we have opted to delve further into this subject during the post-pandemic period, with the ultimate goal of identifying this perceptual evolution. . An online snowball sampling survey was conducted among the Italian population using social networks between August 2022 and January 2023. The survey utilized the Nursing Attitude Questionnaire (NAQ) to collect data. . The sample consisted of 564 individuals. Among the respondents, 63.8% (n = 360) were familiar with the nursing pathway, and the level of agreement regarding the training of nurses was 81.5% (n = 260). In terms of recognizing the professional role of nurses, variations emerged in certain domains of the NAQ. Specifically, professional values of nurses were more pronounced in northern and central Italy (M = 26.27). Moreover, stereotypes were more prevalent in the north (23.73 ± 3.538) and the center (23.13 ± 4.104) ( = 0.001). . The sample acknowledged a unique competence inherent to nurses that cannot be replaced by other professionals. The study population perceives the nursing profession as pivotal within the IHS (Integrated Health System). However, the attractiveness of the profession remains exceedingly low. This study was not registered on a publicly available registry.
新冠疫情通过带来社会、经济和劳动力方面的变化，改变了人们的生活方式。卫生专业人员一直处于聚光灯下，偶尔甚至被提升到“英雄”的地位，因为他们处于卫生紧急情况的前沿。媒体曝光无疑在护士公众形象的演变和认知中发挥了关键作用，尤其是在意大利的背景下。目前，在疫情期间意大利仅进行了一项研究。因此，我们选择在疫情后时期进一步深入研究这个主题，最终目标是确定这种认知演变。2022年8月至2023年1月期间，通过社交网络在意大利人群中进行了一项在线滚雪球抽样调查。该调查使用护理态度问卷（NAQ）收集数据。样本由564人组成。在受访者中，63.8%（n = 360）熟悉护理职业路径，对护士培训的认同程度为81.5%（n = 260）。在认识护士的专业角色方面，NAQ的某些领域出现了差异。具体而言，护士的职业价值观在意大利北部和中部更为明显（M = 26.27）。此外，刻板印象在北部（23.73 ± 3.538）和中部（23.13 ± 4.104）更为普遍（ = 0.001）。样本承认护士具有其他专业人员无法替代的独特能力。研究人群认为护理专业在综合卫生系统（IHS）中至关重要。然而，该职业的吸引力仍然极低。本研究未在公开可用的注册机构注册。
