    • The mid-20th century saw distinct expectations for nursing roles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the established Corwin (1960) scale with a novel instrument for measuring nursing role concepts.
    • To investigate the specific dimensions of bureaucratic, professional, and service-traditional role concepts.
    • To ascertain if nursing role conceptions changed from the 1950s to the 1970s.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of two distinct measurement instruments for nursing role concepts.

  • Utilized the Corwin (1960) scale and a newly developed scale assessing bureaucratic, professional, and service-traditional concepts.
  • Data collection and analysis focused on identifying differences in role conceptions across time periods.

    • Main Results:

    • The newly devised instrument identified distinct dimensions: bureaucratic, professional, and service-traditional role concepts.
    • Significant differences were observed in nursing role conceptions between the 1950s and the 1970s.
    • The study suggests the Corwin scale may not fully capture the evolving nature of nursing roles.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing role conceptions underwent a notable transformation between the 1950s and 1970s.
    • The new instrument provides a more nuanced understanding of contemporary nursing role concepts.
    • Further validation of the new scale is recommended to refine its application in nursing research.
