This study represents an effort to refine our understanding of measurement of professional self-concept by testing a tool across various strata of nursing students. The Professional Self Concept of Nurses Instrument, developed in studies of Australian nursing students, was applied to samples of basic undergraduate, post-basic and graduate students in a Canadian university nursing programme. The findings suggest that the tool is sensitive to the predictable development of professional self-concept as students advance through professional education, especially in the dimensions of professional practice and satisfaction. The authors propose that the instrument may have specific applications in evaluating the effects of traditional and innovative educational strategies upon the evolution of professional self-concept in nurses.
本研究旨在通过对不同层次护理专业学生使用一种工具进行测试，来深化我们对专业自我概念测量的理解。在对澳大利亚护理专业学生的研究中开发的《护士专业自我概念量表》，被应用于加拿大一所大学护理专业项目中的本科基础阶段、本科后阶段和研究生阶段的学生样本。研究结果表明，随着学生在专业教育过程中的推进，该工具对专业自我概念的可预测发展较为敏感，尤其是在专业实践和满意度方面。作者提出，该量表在评估传统和创新教育策略对护士专业自我概念演变的影响方面可能具有特定应用。
