Abstract

Aims and objectives To investigate the self‐concept in nurse managers in Turkey and the effects of certain variables on professional self‐concept. Background Professional self‐concept plays a significant role in improving certain professional behaviours. Nursing managers have the potential to influence other members of the profession with their attitudes and behaviours. Design The study was designed as a cross‐sectional descriptive study. Methods This study was conducted with 159 nurse managers in nine different hospitals. The study data were collected with a Personal Information Form and Professional Self‐concept Nursing Inventory, and the data analysis was accomplished with descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha coefficients and Chi‐squared Automatic Interaction Detector analyses. Results The professional self‐concept score of nurse managers was 3·33 (SD = 0·308). Professional competence subdimension had the highest scores, while professional satisfaction subdimension had the lowest. The types of hospital were found to be influential on professional self‐concept. Conclusion The types of hospital were reported to influence the professional self‐concept of nurses. Relevance to clinical practice Nursing managers are visionaries who can potentially influence nursing practices and decisions. Nursing leaders must monitor and administer strategies to improve their professional self‐concept.
