Abstract:

 Objective: It has been a matter of debate for years whether nursing is a job or a profession. A job is to exist as a profession as long as it meets the criteria for professionalization. For this reason, it is important to determine the views of nurses on occupational criteria in the professionalization process. This study was carried out to determine the views of nurses working in pediatric clinicspolyclinics on the criteria of professionalization. Methods: Nurses working in pediatric clinicsoutpatient clinics constituted the universe of this study, which is in relation-seeking-descriptive type. Snowball sampling method was used in the study. The study was completed with 217 nurses who filled out the online data collection form completely and agreed to participate in the study voluntarily. Descriptive Information Form and Occupational Criteria Information Form were used to collect data in the study. In the evaluation of the data, frequency distributions, descriptive statistics and Chi-Square Test were used. Ethics Committee approval was obtained for the conduct of the study. Results: The majority of nurses stated that they did not receive training for the criteria of professionalization, participated in vocational courses  training activities, participated in research activities, could make decisions independent of care practices, but could not implement these decisions, experienced professional satisfaction, nursing education should be at the undergraduate level and there should be a branch in nursing. It has been determined that membership to professional organizationsassociations is low. Doing researchparticipating in activities and being a member of professional associationsorganizations with age range; A relationship was found between the graduated school and doing researchactivities, membership to associationsorganizations, and following a nursing journal. Conclusion: It has been determined that nurses are at a moderate level in meeting the occupational criteria. Providing trainings for nurses on professionalization criteria, encouraging nurses to participate in research activities, courses, symposiums and congresses, providing professional autonomy by providing trainings for their independent functions, making nursing education at undergraduate level and allowing branching by developing policies, organizing organizations for promotion of professional associationsorganizations recommended.

 Amaç: Hemşireliğin iş mi yoksa meslek mi olduğu yıllardır tartışma konusudur. Bir iş meslekleşme ölçütlerini karşıladığı sürece meslek olabilmektir. Bu nedenle meslek ölçütlerine yönelik hemşirelerin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi meslekleşme sürecinde önemlidir. Bu çalışma, çocuk klinikpolikliniklerinde görev yapan hemşirelerin meslekleşme ölçütlerine yönelik görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: İlişki Arayıcı-Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu çalışmanın evrenini çocuk klinikpolikliniklerinde görev yapmakta olan hemşireler oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada kartopu örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Online veri toplama formunu eksiksiz olarak dolduran ve gönüllü olarak çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 217 hemşire ile çalışma tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplamak amacıyla Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve Meslek Ölçütleri Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde frekans dağılımları, tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve Ki-Kare Testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın yürütülmesi amacıyla Etik Kurulu onayı alınmıştır. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin büyük çoğunluğu meslekleşme ölçütlerine yönelik eğitim almadığını, mesleki kurseğitim faaliyetlerine katıldığını, araştırma faaliyetlerine katıldığını, bakım uygulamalarından bağımsız kararlar alabildiğini ancak bu kararları uygulayamadığını, mesleki doyum yaşadığını, hemşirelik eğitiminin lisans düzeyinde olması ve hemşirelikte branşlaşma olması gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Mesleki kuruluşderneklere üyeliğin düşük olduğu saptanmıştır. Yaş aralığı ile araştırma yapmafaaliyetlerine katılma ve mesleki dernekkuruluş üyeliği olma; mezun olunan okul ile araştırma yapmafaaliyetlerine, dernekkuruluş üyeliği, hemşirelik dergisi takip etme arasında ilişki bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin meslek ölçütlerini karşılamada orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelere meslekleşme ölçütlerine yönelik eğitimler verilmesi, hemşirelerin araştırma faaliyetlerine, kurs, sempozyum ve kongrelere katılması için teşvik edilmesi, bağımsız fonksiyonlarına yönelik eğitimler vererek mesleki otonominin kazandırılması, politikalar geliştirilerek hemşirelik eğitiminin lisans düzeyinde olması ve branşlaşmaya olanak sağlanması, mesleki dernekkuruluşların tanıtım için organizasyonlar düzenlemesi önerilmektedir.
