Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Vocational Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Organizational Management

Background:

  • The concept of a 'calling' in nursing lacks a clear, research-ready definition.
  • Existing literature spans multiple disciplines, necessitating a consolidated analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the concept of a calling in nursing.
  • To develop a detailed and clear definition of calling to nursing for research guidance.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Walker and Avant's classic concept analysis steps.
  • Conducted a literature review across vocational psychology, Christian career counseling, sociology, organizational management, and nursing.

Main Results:

  • Developed an operational definition of calling to nursing.
  • Identified three defining attributes: passionate intrinsic motivation, aspiration to fulfill life purpose through nursing, and a desire to help others.
  • Outlined antecedents (introspection, cognitive awareness) and consequences (positive: work meaningfulness, engagement, commitment, well-being; negative: potential well-being sacrifice, work-life balance issues).

Conclusions:

  • The defined concept of calling to nursing provides a foundation for empirical research.
  • Understanding the multifaceted nature of calling has implications for nursing practice, education, and retention.
  • Further research should explore philosophical assumptions, contextual factors, and interdisciplinary applications.
