Abstract
Professionalism is a key trait connecting the nurse and patient, and code of professional conduct, a professional legitimacy in considering nursing as a profession and an essential tool that facilitates nurse practice. This study sought to develop Nurse Professionalism Scale and test the psychometric properties. Data were collected through self-report from registered nurses working in various health care settings selected using stratiÀ ed random sampling and as multi-source feedback from supervisors and colleagues using Nurse Professionalism Scale. Reliability estimate of the 38 item scale was 0.910 (self-report), 0.951 (supervisor-feedback) and 0.952 (colleague-feedback). Exploratory factor analysis using self-reports extracted Àve factors with 22 items. ConÀrmatory Factor Analysis using supervisors and colleague feedbacks yielded acceptable model Àt indices conÀ rming psychometric properties. The scale can be used to evaluate professionalism among nurses across settings. Multisource feedback from stakeholders can be considered as an effective method of gathering data on this construct
