Abstract
Introduction: Professional nursing values account for a major part of professional performance. Although this field has been investigated in plenty of research, no research has been found in the available literature that examines professional values in operating rooms. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate perioperative nurses' perception of professional values.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 110 participants consisting of perioperative nurses from seven educational centers affiliated to Golestan University of Medical Sciences in 2017. Data were collected using the Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R) of Schank and Weis and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS/18 software.
Results: The mean score of professional values was 103.05 ± 14.61. The highest (38.33 ± 5.39) and the lowest
(12.59 ± 2.06) average professional values belonged to the care and justice dimensions. In the study of demographic variables, the mean of professional values was significantly different in people with different education levels (P< 0.05).
Conclusion: Altogether, this study demonstrated that professional values are of paramount importance in the views
of perioperative nurses in terms of patient care. This importance was high in some dimensions, such as the care dimension while it was low in others, such as justice, which requires more support. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention and emphasize the education in all dimensions of professional values.
