The status of professional identity and professional self-efficacy of nursing students in China and how the medical documentaries affect them: A quasi-randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Professional identity and self-efficacy are important for the education and career development of students. However, how to improve these factors among Chinese nursing students needs further study. This quasi-randomized control trial was designed to explore the effect of medical documentaries on professional self-efficacy and identity among nursing students in Chinese technical schools.

Methods

A total of 277 nursing students were enrolled in this study and divided into an experimental group (n = 135) and a control group (n = 142). The experimental group was invited to watch Chinese medical documentaries, whereas the control group remained on a waiting list. A self-designed general questionnaire, along with professional identity and professional self-efficacy questionnaires, was completed by the nursing students.

Results

No significant change in professional self-efficacy was observed (-3.55 ± 14.23, P = 0.173) in the experimental group, while professional identity significantly declined (-6.24 ± 12.85, P = 0.002) after the intervention. No significant change was found in the two aspects in the control group.

Conclusion

Medical documentaries negatively affect professional identity but do not affect professional self-efficacy. Further researches should be conducted to explore the real reasons.

Project description:BackgroundRecent decades have seen increased attention to patient safety in health care. This is often in the form of programmes aiming to change professional behaviours. Health professionals in hospitals have traditionally resented such initiatives because patient safety programmes often take a managerialist form that may be interpreted as a challenge to professional identity. Research, however, has mostly paid attention to the role of physicians. This study aims to highlight how such programmes may affect professional nursing identity.MethodsWe qualitatively investigated the implementation of a patient safety programme in Norway, paying attention to changes in nurses' practices and values. Based on purposive sampling, two group interviews, four individual interviews and five hours of observational studies were conducted in a hospital department, involving ten nurses and three informants from the hospital management. Interviews were conducted in offices at the hospital, and observations were performed in situ. All the interviews lasted from one to one and a half hours, and were recorded and transcribed ad verbatim. Data was analysed according to ad-hoc meaning generation.ResultsThe following analytical categories were developed: reconstructing trust, reconstructing work, reconstructing values and reconstructing professional status. The patient safety programme involved a shift in patient safety-related decisions, from being based on professional judgement to being more system based. Some of the patient safety work that previously had been invisible and tacit became more visible. The patient safety programme involved activities that were more in accordance with the 'cure' discourse than traditional 'care' work within nursing. As a result, this implied a heightened perceived professional status among the nurses. The safety programme was - contrary to the 'normal' resistance against audit systems - well received because of the raised perceived professional status among the nurses.ConclusionsReconstructing trust, work, values and status, and even the profession itself, is being reconstructed through the work involved in implementing the procedures from the safety programme. Professional knowledge and identity are being challenged and changed, and what counts as good, professional nursing of high quality is being reconstructed.

Project description:ImportanceMistreatment is a common experience among medical students, with various negative consequences of such perceived mistreatment reported. However, few large-scale studies have investigated the association between perceived mistreatment and the formation of medical students' professional identities.ObjectiveTo investigate medical students' perceived mistreatment during medical school and its association with professional identity.Design, setting, and participantsThis repeated cross-sectional study included medical students graduating between 2019 and 2022 at 135 medical schools in China. Analyses were performed from July 25, 2023, to May 15, 2024.ExposureThe China Medical Student Survey includes 5 items designed to measure students' perceived experiences of mistreatment.Main outcomes and measuresProfessional identity was measured using a validated 7-item scale adapted from the Macleod Clark Professional Identity Scale. Multivariate linear regression was used to determine the association between perceived mistreatment and medical students' professional identity.ResultsA total of 94 153 students (53 819 female [57.2%]; 83 548 Han ethnicity [88.7%]) were analyzed, representing 67.2% of the medical graduates enrolled in all responding medical schools. Most medical students reported having experienced at least 1 mistreatment incident (79 554 students [84.5%]). Medical students reported being required to perform personal service (57 455 students [61.0%]), experiencing mistreatment by patients (67 439 students [71.6%]), being publicly humiliated (24 348 students [25.9%]), being unjustly treated (35 926 students [38.2%]), and experiencing deliberate harassment (46 082 students [48.9%]). A negative association and saturation effect (where effect size plateaus after moderate exposure of mistreatment) were found between the degree of mistreatment and medical students' professional identity scores. Compared with students who had not reported mistreatment, students who reported single (β, -0.30; 95% CI, -0.33 to -0.28; P < .001), moderate (β, -0.66; 95% CI, -0.69 to -0.63; P < .001), and high (β, -0.62; 95% CI, -0.65 to -0.58; P < .001) frequency of mistreatment were more likely to have lower professional identity scores; this association persisted but was attenuated after adjusting for students' sociodemographic characteristics and was consistent across all the types of mistreatment.Conclusions and relevanceIn this national, repeated cross-sectional study, a high prevalence of mistreatment among medical students in China and a negative association between perceived mistreatment and medical students' professional identity was found. Further research is needed to ensure that medical schools offer supportive and respectful learning environments.

Project description:BackgroundProfessional Identity formation is the process by which learners internalize a profession's values, behaviors, and perceptions. With respect to physicians, this occurs at multiple levels of medical education, including the undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education stages. Professional identity formation likely starts even earlier, during the undergraduate pre-medical years but, to date, no known scoping or systematic review has been conducted on this topic. The objective of this scoping review is to systematically map the literature on professional identity formation among undergraduate pre-medical students.MethodsThis review protocol has been designed following the Arksey and O'Malley framework. We will search MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, and Scopus, as well as relevant grey literature, conference proceedings, and citations of selected articles. Inclusion criteria are articles (1) written in the English language, (2) involving undergraduate pre-medical students in the USA and Canada, and (3) containing original data about professional identity formation. Two independent reviewers will evaluate the titles, abstracts, and full articles for eligibility. A third reviewer will help resolve any disputes. Once the full text of articles are obtained, data will be abstracted using a standardized form. A narrative summary of findings will then be conducted, as well as a consultation exercise with university pre-medical students, pre-med advisors, and first-year medical students.DiscussionBy conducting this scoping review, we expect to gain a better understanding of how the experiences of undergraduate pre-medical students impact their professional identity formation. These findings will help to identify gaps in the literature, to better characterize professional identity formation in the specific context of the undergraduate pre-medical track, and to outline potential approaches to facilitate professional identity formation among undergraduate pre-medical students.Systematic review registrationThe protocol is registered with the Open Science Framework ( htps://osf.io/nfzxc ).
