Abstract

Nursing perception refers to nurses' own personal views about their professional roles, which are influenced by their beliefs, values, experiences, self-concepts, and self-images. The purpose of the study is to explore nursing students' perceptions of nursing through drawing. The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 385 voluntary nursing students from all classes of the nursing department. The data were obtained from the pictures they drew in response to the question "If nursing was a framework, what would be the picture in it?" on the papers. The students drew nurses and patients respectively as a woman 57% - 31%, with a happy face expression 53% - 29.6% and drew nurses wearing a cap 28%, and using a syringe 39%, The total rubric score of students was 7.0±2.78. Students’ perceptions of nursing in the first and fourth years were higher than in others (p<0.001). Students’ perceptions of nursing were found at a medium level.
