Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument to measure nursing professional values. Method: Forty preliminary items were selected by classifying 223 basic items extracted via a literature study and in-depth interviews of subjects and testing the relevance of their contents. In order to verify the reliability and relevance of the preliminary instrument, data was collected from 504 nurses in 3 general hospitals. Result: As a result of the item analysis, 29 items were selected from a total of 40 items. Five factors were extracted by factor analysis, and the total variance was $51.5\%$. For the explanation of variances by factors, the 1 st factor, 'self-concept of the profession' accounted for $14.8\%$, the 2nd factor, 'social awareness' $12.1\%$, the 3rd factor, 'professionalism of nursing' $9.8\%$, the 4th factor, 'the roles of nursing service' $9.1\%$, and the 5th factor, 'originality of nursing', $5.6\%$. Cronbach's Alpha of those 29 items was .9168, which was high. Conclusion: This paper is meaningful in a way that it developed a tool capable of measuring nursing professional values, which reflects the characteristics of our country. In order to re-verify the relevance and stability of this tool, it is necessary that comparative studies should be conducted.
