Objective To investigate the level of self-concept on occupation among junior nurses.Methods One hundred and thirty-nine nurses with nursing experience of 1-5 years were involved in the survey by using the Nurses' Self-Concept Questionnaire (NSCQ).Comparisons were done between the groups of nurses with undergraduate education and those with three-year training courses in terms of self-concept and its dimensions.Results The total score of junior nurses on self concept was(5.33±0.77).The score of the nurses with undergraduate education was(5.16±0.88),significantly lower than the score of(5.44±0.71)of the nurses with three-year training courses(P<0.05).Conclusion The nursing administration should attach importance to the self-concept on occupation, instructing specially the nurses with undergraduate education so as to enhance their mental health and their self-identification of nursing as an occupation.
