Abstract

It is a cross-sectional study conducted in order to examine self-esteem in nurses and students in nursing department as well as professional selfesteem. Material and Methodology:The study was conducted in the period June 2016 -September 2017 with the participation of 92 nurses working in Ağrı State Hospital and 99 students attending Health College in Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University. Data was collected by using Descriptive Characteristics Information Form, Arıcak Professional Self-Esteem Scale and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale D-1 dimension. Findings: It is found that average scores of nurses and nursing students in Rosenberg Self-Esteem Sub-Dimension are high and this self-esteem is higher at statistically significant level among married nurses. Average scores in professional self-esteem are at medium level in both groups while the average score of nursing students in professional self-esteem is significantly higher among those who preferred this profession for helping others and those with highly satisfactory school performance. Also, a negative correlation at statistically significant level is found between professional self-esteem and selfesteem. Conclusion:The study found that self-esteem in general in nurses and nursing students is affected by marital status and professional self-esteem by the reason for selecting this profession. Another finding is the presence of negative correlation at statistically significant level between professional self-esteem and self-esteem. However, the generalization of these findings requires the conduct of similar studies in different provinces and with larger groups.

Professional Self-Esteem of Turkish Midwifery Students: A Mixed-Methods Approach

“…Professional Self-Esteem Scale (PSES): The PSES was developed by Aricak (1999) and consists of 30 items that measure the respect and attitudes toward a profession among individuals aged 17 and over who have chosen that profession and are being trained in the respective area or are practicing that profession. Of these five-point Likert type items, 14 are positive statements (2,5,7,9,11,13,14,16,18,20,24,26,28) and 16 are negative statements (1,3,4,6,8,10,12,15,17,19,21,22,23,25,27,29). Responses to the positive items are scored as 5 (Totally agree), 4 (Agree), 3 (Undecided), 2 (Disagree), and 1 (Strongly disagree) points.…”

“…Professional self-esteem (PSE) is defined as 'an individual's judgment of worthiness formed regarding the self-attributions related to the individual's profession' [1]. As well as the meaning and importance that the individual attributes to his profession, PSE also means that he gets satisfaction from and is compatible with that profession' [2].…”

“…This study aims to determine the perception of PSE among midwifery students, explain how their perceptions are formed, and reveal how they perceive the midwifery profession and how the components that make up this perception determine their PSE. The following research questions were addressed: (1) What is the level of PSE among midwifery students? (2) How do students perceive the midwifery profession?…”

Pre-service Mathematics Teachers' Professional Self-Esteem and Beliefs about the Nature of Mathematics

“…When examining the literature, it can be thought that there are more studies on teachers' professional self-esteem in the national literature compared to the international literature. It can be said that studies on professional self-esteem generally focus on health and education (e.g., Efilti & Çıkılı, 2017;Varol et a.,2020;Polat & Balaban, 2021). It is possible to say that especially pre-school (Polat & Balaban, 2021), special education (Efilti & Çıkılı, 2017), music (Tokinan, 2013), science (Aktaç & Çetinkaya, 2019), physical education, information technologies (Dursun et al, 2014) and primary education (Ünal & Şimsek, 2008), secondary education (Tabassum & Ali, 2012) teachers or pre-service teachers are studied in this field.…”
