Summary
The Turkish version of the Nursing Professional Pride Scale (NPPS-TR) is a valid and reliable tool for assessing nurses
Area of Science:
- Nursing Research
- Psychometrics
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- Professional pride is a crucial aspect of nursing.
- Understanding and measuring professional pride is essential for nursing retention and job satisfaction.
- Existing scales may not be culturally adapted for the Turkish nursing context.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish the validity and reliability of the Nursing Professional Pride Scale (NPPS) in a Turkish sample.
- To adapt and validate the NPPS for use with Turkish nurses.
- To provide a psychometrically sound instrument for measuring professional pride among nurses in Turkey.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was employed.
- Data were collected from 301 nurses with at least one year of experience via online surveys.
- Confirmatory factor analysis, linguistic and content validity, and reliability analyses were performed using SPSS and LISREL.
Main Results:
- The Turkish version of the Nursing Professional Pride Scale (NPPS-TR) demonstrated a content validity index of 0.95.
- Reliability analysis showed a Cronbach's alpha of 0.89 for the NPPS-TR.
- Confirmatory factor analysis supported a five-factor structure with acceptable psychometric properties (χ²/df=2.85, RMSEA=0.079, CFI=0.92, SRMR=0.08).
Conclusions:
- The NPPS-TR is a valid and reliable measure for assessing professional pride in Turkish nurses.
- The validated scale can be used to evaluate and potentially enhance professional pride within the Turkish nursing workforce.
- Findings support the use of the NPPS-TR in research and practice to understand factors influencing nurses' professional pride.

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.9K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Self-esteem, a core aspect of psychological well-being, reflects an individual's positive and negative self-evaluation in terms of worth, competence, and overall value. It is both a stable trait and a dynamic process, influenced by experiences and social interactions across the lifespan. While global self-esteem offers a general assessment, research highlights that self-esteem is multidimensional and varies across specific life domains.Domain-Specific Self-EsteemResearchers have delineated...
