Objective To guide new nurses to establish positive and correct occupational self-concept, enhance occupational identity and delay job burnout by adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses. Methods Randomly selected 56 new nurses of our hospital in recent years as research objects. 28 nurses enrolled in 2013 formed the experimental group and 28 nurses enrolled in 2014 formed the control group. The experimental group focused on nurses themselves. In the 10-month standardized training, 30 class-hour traditional culture education was added and more than 180 times of social practices were conducted; for the control group, only standardized training was carried out. Effects before and after, all subjects were examined occupational self-concept and desert jobs rate after work 2 years. Results The occupational self-concept of the experimental group tended to reach a positive level, which was (33.14±2.15) points, obviously higher than that of the control group, which was only (30.57 ± 3.03) points. Therefore, the difference was statistically significant(t=3.703 4,P<0.01). In terms of dimensions of comprehensive self- concept, employee relationships and communication ability were (4.92 ± 0.50), (6.34 ± 0.54), (5.87 ± 0.44) points in the experimental group and (4.40 ± 0.63), (5.89 ± 0.77),(5.55 ± 0.64) points in the control group, the experimental group had significant improvements (t=3.458 1, 2.561 9, 2.206 4, P<0.01). Comparing the separation rates of the two groups after two years, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions Adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses plays a positive role in promoting their occupational self-concept.
