- Abstract
The study explores the generational contrast between personal values in students and nurses and their adjustment to the predictions of the theory of changing values. The sample was comprised of 369 students and nurses who were divided into three groups: students (n = 150), nurses under age 40 (n = 114), and nurses between 41 and 60 years of age (n = 105). The participants reported their values on an open questionnaire, in order of priority. The reports were organized into value categories to analyze the differences between groups. Two trends were found in the report on personal values: in some cases, they fit what is predicted by the theory of changing values; in others, they contradict it. The importance of these findings and the need to empower training oriented towards the values of the nursing profession is discussed. The study contributes to what we know about the change in personal values among nursing professionals.
