3. Abstract
 Objective: The study was conducted as a descriptive and cross-sectional to
determine nurses’ views on their profession in Turkey, their commitment to the
profession and participation in professional activities and infl uencing factors.
 Methods: The study sample comprised 2253 nurses working in hospital in Turkey.
The data were collected using a questionnaire developed by the researchers. For
the assessment of the data, percentages, the chi square and multiple logistic
regression analysis were used.
 Results: According to the fi ndings of the study based on the nurses’ statements, of
the nurses, 62.3% chose the nursing profession willingly, 51% were satisfi ed with
their profession, 75% thought that their profession was suitable for them, 59.3%
might change their profession if they were offered better working or fi nancial
conditions, 15.4% considered leaving their profession, 37.2% participated in
professional conferences and training courses, 72.3% did not keep up with
professional publications and 32.3% were the members of the National Nursing

education displayed more positive attitudes to their profession than did the nurses
who did not choose the profession willingly and had lower levels of education, and
the difference between them was statistically signifi cant. The nurses having
bachelor’s or master’s degrees participated in professional activities more than did
the others, and the difference was signifi cantly high.
