Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Nurses' Professional Values Scale (NPVS-R)

  The Nurses' Professional Values Scale was developed by Weis \& Schank in 2000. Validity and reliability Geçkil et al. (2012) did in Turkey. The scale has a total of 26 items. Each item is scored from 1 to 5. The lowest score that can be obtained from the total scale is 26 and the highest score is 130. The higher the total score, the more important the professional values of nurses. The pre-test and post-test data of the intervention group and control group will be analyzed. The 3-months education program was applied only to the intervention group. Therefore, there is no success criteria in the control group. The statistically significant increase in the mean score of professional values in posttest measurement in the intervention group is the success criterion of the study. Significance level is set at p\<0.05 in analyzes.

  Three months

• Healthcare Environment Survey (HES)

  The Health Environment Survey was developed in 2001 to assess the job satisfaction of nurses. It was revised in 2015 (Nelson et al., 2015). Gözüm, Nelson, Yıldırım \& Kavla, (2017) adapted the scale into the Turkish culture and found the scale as valid and reliable. The scale has a total of 61 items. Each item is scored from 1 to 7. By adding the points and dividing them by the number of items, the scale score averages are obtained. Neutral point average of 3.5. The higher the average score, the higher the job satisfaction. The survey measures 11 dimensions of nurse job satisfaction. At the end of the 3-months education program, it was expected that job satisfaction scores would increase significantly in the intervention group. The statistically significant increase in the mean score of job satisfaction in posttest measurement in the intervention group is the success criterion of the study. Significance level is set at p\<0.05 in analyzes.

  Three months

Study Arms (2)

İntervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

Nurses working at Akdeniz University Hospital became the intervention group. The nurses who accepted to participate in the study were divided into groups of 5-15 people. Pre-test was applied to nurses who accepted the research. Nurses were given 4-hour group trainings. A booklet on the subject prepared by the researchers was given. Three interim interviews were conducted in the subsequent 3-month period. Six separate posters were posted in the clinics. Weekly reminder messages were sent via WhatsApp. At the end of the third month, post-test data were collected from the nurses.

Other: Educational program

Control group

OTHER

The nurses working in the University of Health Sciences Antalya Training and Research Hospital constituted the control group. Pre-test was applied to nurses who accepted the research. Post test applied 3 months later. A booklet on the subject prepared by the researchers was given after the post test. Group training was conducted to nurses.
