| Abstract | ||||
| Nowadays rapid changes in value systems of the society caused nursing to encounter more ethical and philosophical challenges at providing care to its patients and clients. These changes also created new nursing environments that need professional nursing. Accordingly, nursing professionalism definition and its attributes need to be clarified and adapted with rapid changes. For this purpose, concept analysis is a suitable method. Aim: The present study was conducted with the aim of clarifying and defining the concept of professionalism, its attributes, antecedents, and consequences. Methods: In this study, the steps of concept analysis were as follows: Select a concept, determine the aims of the analysis, identify various definitions of the concept, determine the concept attributes and identify the antecedents and consequences. All studies between the years 2010 and 2019 were reviewed. A total of 13 studies were included in this concept analysis. Data Collection: For purposes of this concept analysis, PubMed, Google search engines, Ovid, and ProQuest, were scanned and searched using the keywords. Conclusion: The concept of Professionalism in nursing is a complex one. Professionalism is a multi-dimensional concept; there is no one simple, generalizable definition, or how to assess it.Maintaining professionalism is essential in the nursing profession so this study mentioned the antecedents and consequences of nursing professionalism. Recommendations: Professionalism has been described by various disciplines but there is a need to explore the determinants that persuade professionalism among nurses. Also there is a need to explore the influence of external work environment on nursing professionalism. | ||||
