“…In addition, activism items focus on the nurses' role in professional organizations, public policy, and changes in healthrelated activities such as "participating in nursing research and/or implementing research findings appropriate to practice" and "participating in activities of professional nursing associations". In several studies [7,8,10,11,19,27], these domains and their items were among the most and least important values, which were consistent with the results of our research. To confirm low importance of the professionalism and activism domains in nursing professional values, it can be said that these values are related to the social and political issues in nursing profession.…”

“…The justice domain reflected the nurses' duty to provide equitable care to all patients such as "Assume responsibility for meeting health needs of culturally diverse population". In this respect, studies in other countries have reported similar results [7,8,10,11,19,27]. In these studies, the domains of care and justice or their associated values were most important from the participants' points of view.…”

“…These values act as the guide in performing the ethical behaviors in providing the safe care [2] and as the predictors of care quality and job satisfaction, motivation, organizational attachment, and work commitment [8]. Due to the nurses' role in patients' care, they are always dealing with the conditions that require them to make ethical decisions.…”

Background: The process of learning the professional values is started from the student's entering to the university and to the workplace. This study compared the importance of professional values from the perspectives of nurses and nursing students. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 250 nurses and 100 nursing students. Data were collected using the Nursing Professional Values Scale-Revised. Results: According to the findings, the mean scores of nurses (3.68 ± 0.16) and nursing students' (3.86 ± 0.17) perspective toward professional values were at an important level. Furthermore, the students' perspective toward the professional values' importance was significantly more favorable than those of nurses. The highest mean scores of professional values in the two groups were related to the caring and justice domains. Both groups considered activism and professionalism as the least important domains among the others. Conclusions: As the findings suggest, we need to pay more attention to values training, especially professionalism and activism, during undergraduate education for preparing the nurses to work in today's complex healthcare context. It is necessary to conduct more comprehensive studies for exploring the gap between theory and practice in different cultures and contexts.

“…However, studies on the effect of education, which has an important contribution in the development of professional values of nurses, are yet to be achieved. Beside, only two studies have been found on the impact of individual and professional characteristics with institutional factors, which has a significant impact on professional values 9,28 …”

Purpose: This study is conducted to examine the professional values of nurses and their personal and professional characteristics affecting these values. Design and Methods: A total of 369 nurses completed a questionnaire on personal information and nursing professional values scale (NPVS-R). Findings: The total scores of the nurses on the NPVS-R were found to be 100.87 ± 21.07, and the item mean scores were found to be 3.87 ± 0.81. When the scores for individual scale factors were examined, the highest scores were observed for the "caring" (4.02 ± 0.87) and "activism" (3.90 ± 0.89) factors. Practice Implications: The fact that nurses are aware of their individual values and how these values affect their behavior can be a guide in human-focused value nursing planning.

Aims To investigate nurses' experiences of adhering to professional values in clinical settings. Design A qualitative study with a conventional content analysis approach. Methods This study was conducted from January 2021 to March 2022. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 12 nurses working in different wards of five public and private hospitals in West Azerbaijan of Iran. Data were analysed using the conventional content analysis approach proposed by Graneheim and Lundman (Nurse education today, 24, 2004, 105) Results “Barriers to nurses' professional values” emerged as the main category of Iranian nurses' experiences in adhering to professional values. Three subcategories of barriers were revealed: “nurses' challenges,” “professional suppressors” and “poor working conditions.” Conclusion Barriers in clinical settings can overshadow nurses' professional performance and disrupt their adherence to professional values. Nursing managers must pay attention to nurses' challenges, their professional suppressors and poor working condition to help them promote their professional performance in clinical settings. Thus, nursing managers should not neglect the continuous education of nurses to assist them in increasing their clinical skills by holding practical and theoretical workshops. Improving the working conditions and clinical atmosphere by recruiting a capable workforce and applying psychological and financial support for nurses are essential to increase the quality of nursing care.
