“…When an individual tries to promote his/her profession, he possesses professional commitment, which may or may not be in line with organizational commitment. In organizational commitment, the individual tends to move in a path that meets the organizations’ interests ( 25 ), whereas professional commitment is based on the individual's internal tendency to be part of a specific profession apart from the organization.…”

Background: As the largest and most fundamental group targeted by programs developed to improve quality of care, nurses should be the focus of attention in the management of human resources in the field of health care. A review of literature on this subject revealed the lack of scales designed for measuring professional commitment in nurses. The present study was designed to develop a scale to measure professional commitment in clinical nurses and examine its psychometric properties. Methods: This study will develop a professional commitment scale for clinical nurses within one qualitative and one quantitative step. The first step of the study will entail a review of the literature on the subject and interviews with clinical nurses so as to develop the categories and the items. The second step, the quantitative step, will analyze the items extracted in the qualitative step, determining the features of the topics and factor structure of the scale. The initial scale will be completed by 300 clinical nurses. The correlation among the topics, the construct validity, and reliability of the scale will also be examined in this step. Results and Discussion: This study will develop an instrument that can measure professional commitment in clinical nurses. Given the lack of instruments for measuring professional commitment in clinical nurses, the findings of this study may be of help to nursing managers, authorities, and the health system in general.

“…A previous study concluded that nurses perceive professional commitment as an inner force that encourages their selflessness, inspires them to provide care with kindness, and to view the job as a spiritual responsibility (44).

Nurses in particular face the dilemma of continuing their career as they are confronted with several new challenges, such as a higher level of complexity in nursing care, the increasing use of advanced technologies in providing health care, heavy reliance on other team members, increased competition, and budget limitation (48).…”

“…Já em relação a comprometimento organizacional (CO) o estudo de Sanches et al (2010), demonstra a associação do CO com a satisfação com os benefícios, remuneração, treinamento, promoção, segurança e alta formalização para profissionais que atuam em contexto de saúde. Além disso, há evidências de que um profissional comprometido com a organização tem baixa intenção de deixar a organização, fator que impacta diretamente no índice de rotatividade organizacional (LLapa-Rodríguez et al, 2008). A rotatividade é um indicador importante para o contexto organizacional, inclusive para o contexto em organizações de saúde.…”
