Article Description

Aim: The aim of this study was to clarify and develop a conceptual framework for Nursing Professionalism. Background Nursing professionalism is the guide for nurses in all nursing work. Nurses with good professionalism are the main force to safeguard the health of all mankind. The concept of Nursing professionalism still exhibits ambiguity. Design: This study used Charmaz's Constructing Grounded Theory. Methods: 38 participants were interviewed including nursing students, clinical nurses, nursing managers, doctors and patients in China form May 2021 to August 2022. We used purpose sampling, theoretical sampling, and snowball sampling. By exploring the understanding of the concept of nursing professionalism among stakeholders, the researchers explored and clarified the conceptual connotation of nursing professionalism. Findings: The conceptual framework of nursing professionalism includes four connotations: altruism, dedication, caring, professional. Altruism include patient first and benefit others. Dedication include endure, patience, tolerance, and expecting nothing in return. Caring include reverence for life, empathy, compassion, and concern. Professional include sensitivity, responsibility, excellence, self-discipline, and collaboration. Conclusion This study clearly clarified the conceptual framework of nursing professionalism, which is conducive to further developing standardized evaluation tools in future research, accurately analyzing its development path, and cultivating nursing teams with high level of nursing professionalism.
