The study was performed to develop standards for nursing practice. The quality and quantity of medical services, including nursing services, has been determined to date by the availability of providers rather than by the actual needs of the patients. In fact, there has been a serious gap between expected and actual servces. In order to provide high quality nursing services and to enhance professional status, the nursing profession should define their practice in a measurable way and identify the client outcomes to which they contribute. Therefore, this research was conducted through the three phases as follows : (1) Evaluation of current nursing practices and environment, and analysis of actual patient needs, by means of questionnaires. (2) Literature review to define the nature, purpose, and standards of professional nursing practice. (3) Expert group's modification of existing standards by integrating the results of first two phases. As a result, standards for each area of nursing practice were developed, such as shown in Table 3 and Table 4. However, these standards must receive ongoing attention by the profession to assure that they remain current and reflect advances in nursing knowledge and clinical technology.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the choice experiences of students majoring in nursing and whose mothers were nurses. Methods: The participants of this study were 12 students, six male and six female. Data were collected via an in-depth personal interview. The collected data were analyzed with Colazzi's phenomenological methodology. Results: A core theme of 'Natural choice as my major' emerged. In addition, we found the following three theme clusters: 1. My choice; 2. Expanding relationship between Mother and I; 3. Journey with mother. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the mothers of nursing students who were nurses themselves were good role models. They could influence their children to choose nursing as a profession. Also, they affected or are affecting their children to be colleagues in the same way. If we could provide good working environments for nurses, the next generation will also choose nursing as a profession and ultimately establish a family line. An educational setting is required to provide better professional nursing conditions for the next generation.

연구목적 : 전문직으로서 간호사에 대한 인식을 집단별로 파악하고 이들에 대한 인식을 비교한다. 연구방법 : 설문지를 이용한 비교조사연구로서 조사대상은 간호사, 간호학교수, 의사, 약사, 간호조무사, 병원행정직원, 행정관료, 정당활동가, 일반시민 등을 포함한 총 584명이었으며, 설문지는 12개 하부항목으로 범주화된 36개 문항으로 구성되었다. 연구결과 : 간호사에 대한 인식은 의사가 가장 긍적적이었으며, 병원직원이 가장 부정적이었다. 모든 집단에서 가장 긍정적인 인식을 갖고 있는 항목은 '사회적 요구'였으며, 그 다음은 '직무기술', '사회적 인식' 등의 순으로 나타났다. 가장 부정적인 것은 '간호교육'이었고, 그 다음은 '간호조직체 활동', '직무환경' 순으로 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구를 기초로 하여 간호사들은 다른 집단들을 대상으로 전문직으로서의 간호사에 대한 인식을 높이기 위한 전략을 마련하여야 한다.
