BACKGROUND Previous studies on professional identity, self-directed learning competence, and self-efficacy among central sterile supply department (CSSD) nurses are rare. We investigated the status of these 3 characteristics among CSSD nurses and offered suggestions, to provide a reference for CSSD talent development. MATERIAL AND METHODS CSSD nurses working in 45 hospitals in southwest China were invited to participate in a questionnaire survey in August 2021. The survey comprised a general information questionnaire, a self-directed learning competence rating scale, a professional identity scale, and a general self-efficacy scale. RESULTS The CSSD nurses' scores for professional identity, self-directed learning competence, and self-efficacy were 109.92±17.161, 125.77±21.316, and 26.92±6.633, respectively. For professional identity, statistically significant differences were identified (P≤0.05) for 3 factors: monthly income, reason for studying nursing, and reason for working in the CSSD. For self-directed learning competence, statistically significant differences (P≤0.05) were identified for 5 factors: age, hospital grade, type of employee, monthly income, and reason for working in the CSSD. For self-efficacy, statistically significant differences were identified (P≤0.05) for 3 factors: age, reason for studying nursing and working in the CSSD, and whether the CSSD nurses wished their children to become nurses. CONCLUSIONS The professional identity, self-directed learning competence, and self-efficacy of the CSSD nurses in this study were at the medium level. More attention should be paid to career planning of young nurses and improvement of their professional identity and self-directed learning competence.
关于中心供应室（CSSD）护士的专业身份认同、自我导向学习能力和自我效能感的研究很少。我们调查了 CSSD 护士的这 3 个特征的现状，并提出了建议，为 CSSD 人才发展提供参考。
2021 年 8 月，邀请中国西南地区 45 家医院的 CSSD 护士参加问卷调查。该调查包括一般信息问卷、自我导向学习能力评定量表、专业身份量表和一般自我效能感量表。
CSSD 护士的专业身份、自我导向学习能力和自我效能感得分分别为 109.92±17.161、125.77±21.316 和 26.92±6.633。在专业身份方面，有 3 个因素（月收入、学习护理的原因和在 CSSD 工作的原因）存在统计学差异（P≤0.05）。在自我导向学习能力方面，有 5 个因素（年龄、医院等级、员工类型、月收入和在 CSSD 工作的原因）存在统计学差异（P≤0.05）。在自我效能感方面，有 3 个因素（年龄、学习护理和在 CSSD 工作的原因以及 CSSD 护士是否希望自己的孩子成为护士）存在统计学差异（P≤0.05）。
本研究中 CSSD 护士的专业身份认同、自我导向学习能力和自我效能感处于中等水平。应更加关注年轻护士的职业规划，提高其专业身份认同感和自我导向学习能力。
