Ahi-Based Education on the Professional Values of Nursing Students

In current nursing education programs, professional values education mostly remains at a theoretical level; students' internalization of these values and reflection of them in their behavior is limited. Ahilik is a historical system based on ethical principles, professional responsibility, and a sense of service to society. The aim of this study is to experimentally evaluate the effect of Ahilik-based education on the professional values of nursing students.

Hypotheses H0: There is no significant difference between the professional values of nursing students who receive Ahilik education and those who do not.

H1: The professional values of nursing students who receive Ahilik education are significantly different from those who do not.

The 5-point Likert-type scale consists of 26 items. Each item is scored between 5 (most important) and 1 (not important), and these scores are summed to obtain scale scores. Scores that can be obtained from the scale range between 26 and 130. A high score indicates a strong adaptation to professional values. The scale does not include sub-dimensions. In the scale independent of the sub-dimension, there are sub-factors named as caring, professionalism and trust that contribute to the interpretation of the data. The goodness of fit statistics of the scale was found to be at appropriate values, Cronbach's Alpha reliabil
