Detailed Description

Professional values serve as a guide for actions accepted by professional groups and experts, providing a framework for assessing the values and beliefs that affect professional performance. For the nursing profession to achieve professional status and provide more qualified and effective care to individuals and, consequently, society, it is crucial for nurses to have a strong professional identity and professional values.

The quality of education and training plays a significant role in the development of professional professionalism. The acquisition of a professional identity begins during education and continues throughout a person's career. Therefore, creating awareness of the profession among nursing students during their student years will contribute significantly to the professionalization of the field in the future. It is essential for those who will pursue a nursing career to acquire professional values starting from their student years and to positively develop these values.

Research Question: Does the creative drama method have an effect on nursing students' perceptions of professional values (human dignity, responsibility, initiative, safety, autonomy) compared to the traditional teaching method?

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Personal Information Form	5 minutes	It consists of 8 questions including the student's age, gender, marital status, whether he/she has children, whether he/she works in another job, the number of siblings, the perception of the income status of the person, and whether there is a health worker in the family.

Turkish adaptation of the scale was made. The Turkish version of the scale has 36 items and the internal consistency coefficient was found to be 0.95. In this study, the total internal consistency value of the scale was found to be 0.91. The scale consists of five dimensions: human dignity, responsibility, mobilisation, security and autonomy, and the total score of the scale is calculated by averaging the scores of 36 items. The higher the mean score, the more importance nurses attach to their professional values.
