Abstract
Aim
We aimed to investigate the level of undergraduate nursing students' professional identity (PI) during the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential influences.
Methods
This cross-sectional study included 742 undergraduate nursing students from Chengdu Medical College. Basic demographics, personal characteristics and PI score were collected. Chi-squared test, one-way analysis of variance, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data.
Results
In the classes of 2019, 2020, and 2021, the PI score was 96.85 ± 18.26, 105.37 ± 17.46, 106.67 ± 22.08 (P < .001). PI score was the independent predictive factor for both “want to be a nurse” and “willingness to serve during COVID-19 or other pandemics”.
Conclusions
PI contributes greatly to nursing students' willingness to be a nurse and overcome pandemics. The challenge of culturing PI during COVID-19 pandemic revealed the necessity of developing individual management strategies for nursing education.
