Towards an educational proposal to promote undergraduates’ professional identity
Journal Title: Revista Cuarzo - Year 2015, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the factors associated with Professional Identity, with the aim of proposing an educational strategy that fosters it among the nursing program’s undergraduate students. METHODOLOGY: A mixed methodological design was followed, using the Nurse Professional Identity’s score (IPE) as variable according to socio-demographic characteristics and professional aspects. Quantitative measures had core trend and dispersion measures calculated and numeric variables had proportion calculated; OR was used as association measure and 95% IC was used as precision measure. RESULTS: 95 surveys were conducted; the mean for the Nurse Professional Identity was 93; the highest scores (100) came from professionals that are studying or have fi nished doctorate studies. 93.7 % of the nurses perceived subordi-nation within their practice scenarios; 87 % do not feel his/her task is appreciated by society and 27 % do not perceive his/her professional practice as stimulating. CONCLUSION: Possible factors related to Nurse Professional Identity were identifi ed from vocational and educatio-nal spheres, also, gaps in basic technical-scientifi c and disciplinary training were identifi ed in the undergraduate studies. A new validation process for the Nurse Professional Identity scale must be executed with the objective of validating possible predicting factors identifi ed in this research.
