Fulltext PDFObjective: To examine the level of nurses' self-role cognition and professional identity, analyze the
influencing factors and explore the correlation between them.
Method: A cross-sectional survey of Chinese nurses using an online questionnaire consisted of the
Role Perception Scale and the Nurse Professional Identity Scale.
Result: From March to May 2023, 5,138 effective subjects were included, and the results showed that
the role cognition score was (85.22 ± 11.75) and the role ambiguity score was (37.13 ± 5.58). The
score of role conflict was (48.08 ± 8.95), and the score of professional identity was (108.03 ± 19.33).
Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between nurses'
role cognition and professional identity.
Conclusion: The role cognition of nurses is above the medium level, and the role cognition is
positively correlated with professional identity. Nursing managers should take targeted measures
to improve the role cognition of nurses according to the influencing factors, so as to achieve the
purpose of stabilizing the nursing team and improving the quality of nursing service.
