Aim: This study aims to specify intergenerational individual and occupational values of nursing students and nurses. Methods: The population of this descriptive study consisted of 253 participants including 124 nursing students and 129 nurses. Data was collected by Information Form, Schwartz Value Inventory and Nursing Professional Values Scale. Results: Of participants, 3.1% are generation X (1965-1980), 10.7% are from first half of Y generation (1981-1989), 86.2% are from second half of Y generation (1990-1999). Among participants 79.8% are female, 88.5% are single, 75.1% aren’t a member of any association. No statistically significant difference was found between generations regarding Nursing Professional Values Scale (p>0.05). However, statistically significant differences was found when sub-dimensions of Nursing Professional Values Scale (NPVS) and Schwartz Value Inventory (SVI) are compared to marital status and membership to association (p<0.05). When sub-dimensions of NPVS and SVI are compared, a high level of positive correlation was established(p<0.05). Conclusion: Professional and individual values of nurses and students are effected by their marital status and membership to association. There is also a significant relationship between individual and professional values of nurses and students.

Background: People in both Taiwan and China originally descended from the Han Chinese, but the societies have been separated for approximately 38 years. Due to different political systems, variations exist in healthcare and nursing education systems in Taiwan and China. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the professional values of nursing students in Taiwan and China. Design: A cross-sectional design was applied in this study. The Nursing Professional Value Scale–Revised was used to measure the professional values of the students. The questionnaire was distributed to eligible undergraduate students in a classroom setting. Ethical considerations: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at the first investigator’s university. Participants were informed that completion and return of the questionnaire was voluntary, and confidentiality was ensured by keeping the responses anonymous. Participants: A convenience sample included 292 Taiwanese students and 654 Chinese students. Findings: A total of 11 individual Nursing Professional Value Scale–Revised items showed significant differences between the two groups. These results reflect the differences in the perceived importance of these items between the groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean overall scores for the Nursing Professional Value Scale–Revised (p = .766) and three subscales (all p > .05). Conclusion: There are some differences in professional values between nursing students in Taiwan and China. Given the increasingly frequent and close interactions between Taiwan and China and the globalization of nursing, understanding these differences may help nursing educators identify students’ perceptions of their professional values and support the development of strategies to improve weaknesses in professional values.

In addition to many factors determining the quality of education in educational institutions, the skills of education managers to manage the institution and affect teachers are also important. This study was carried out in order to determine the management skills and skills of affecting teachers of primary school directors in line with teacher opinions. The study group consists of 367 teachers working at state primary schools in Tuzla district of Istanbul province in the 2013-2014 academic year. The study is a screening study of the relational comparison type.The “Scale of School Principals’s  Teachers Affect” which was developed by Uygun (2006), "Management Skills Scale" adapted to Turkish by Şekerci (2006) and the “Personal Information Form” were used in the study in order to collect data.The results of this study show that the management skills of school directors are perceived by teachers at a high level. While the management skills of school directors perceived by teachers do not vary by the gender, age, marital status, seniority, grades taught and educational status of the teachers, a significant difference was determined by the variable of the region of education.It was seen that the skills of school directors to affect teachers are at the intermediate level according to the teacher perception. While there was no significant difference between the skills of school directors to affect teachers and the gender, marital status, the grades taught and educational status of the teachers, a significant difference was found by age and seniority. It was determined that as the management skills of school directors increased their scores of affecting teachers increased and there was a significant positive relationship between them. ÖzetEğitim kurumlarında eğitimin niteliğini belirleyen birçok faktörle birlikte eğitim yöneticilerinin kurum yönetimi becerileri ile öğretmenleri etkileme becerileri de önemlidir. Bu araştırma, ilkokul müdürlerinin yönetim ve öğretmenleri etkileme becerilerini öğretmen görüşleri doğrultusunda belirlenmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma grubu 2013-2014 eğitim-öğretim yılında İstanbul İli Tuzla İlçesi devlet ilkokullarında görev yapan 367 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma ilişkisel karşılaştırma türünde bir tarama çalışmasıdır.Araştırmada veri toplamak amacıyla Uygun (2006) tarafından geliştirilen “Okul Müdürlerinin Öğretmenleri Etkileme Ölçeği”,  Şekerci (2006) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan “Yönetim Becerileri Ölçeği” ve “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”  kullanılmıştır.Bu araştırmanın sonuçları, okul müdürlerinin yönetim becerilerinin öğretmenler tarafından yüksek düzeyde algılandığını göstermektedir.

Background and significance of research: Nurses’ awareness of professional values and how those values affect their behaviors is an integral part of nursing care. There is a large body of research on nursing professional values, however, a careful survey of the available literature did not yield any studies investigating the status of professional values in operating rooms. Objective: This study aims to investigate the perception of operating room nurses of university hospitals toward professional values. Research plan: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected using Schank and Weis’s Nurses Professional Values Scale–Revised. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS version 16. Participants and settings: The 513 participants of the study consisted of operating room nurses and nurse anesthetists from six university hospitals. Ethical considerations: This study has been approved by the ethics committee of the university. Findings: The mean total professional values score of the operating room staff was found to be 100.84 ± 15.685, which indicates that the participants had a positive perception toward observance of nursing professional values in practice. The results showed that the participants considered the domains of justice and activism as, respectively, the most and the least important. The operating room staff’s overall professional values scores were not found to correlate significantly with their ages, professional experience, university majors, or attendance at ethics workshops. However, a significant difference was found between the professional values scores of the female and male staff. The professional values scores of the operating room nurses and the nurse anesthetists were not significantly different (p value = 0.494). Conclusion: Operating room staff’s awareness of professional values is essential to providing care to patients based on professional principles. Accordingly, there is need for programs to raise operating room nurses’ awareness of their professional duties and improve their professional performance.
