Abstract:
Objective To determine the impact of dental nurses′knowledge sharing behavior and self-efficiency on professional identity. Methods A total of 88 dental nurses in Xiangyang were tested by Professional Identity Inventory for Nurse,Knowledge Sharing Behavior Scale and General Self-efficacy Scale. Results The mean score of professional identity was (5.60 ± 0.56) points, the mean score of knowledge sharing behavior was (2.59 ± 0.77) points, the mean score of general self-efficacy was (2.66 ± 0.46) points. Knowledge sharing behavior and self-efficiency were positively correlated with professional identity(r=0.626, 0.342, P<0.01). Regression analysis showed that the organizational communications, communities of practice, written contributions and general self-efficacy could explain 54.3% of the variance for dental nurses′professional identity. Conclusions Nursing managers should focus on the shortcomings of dental nurses′ knowledge sharing behavior and general self-efficacy, and promote interventions to enhance dental nurses′knowledge sharing behavior and general self-efficacy and improve the level of professional identity.
