| Summary: | Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the professional commitment of nurses belonging
to different generations.
Method: This study with a descriptive, comparative and cross-sectional design was conducted
from May to June 2019 in a province in eastern Turkey. The research was carried out with 291
nurses working in a university hospital with usable data. 'Personal Information Form and
Nursing Professional Commitment Scale' were used.
Results: The mean score of the Nursing Professional Commitment Scale was found to be
76.08 +- 12.94. The mean scores of the nurses in the X ( 78.65 +- 12.32), Y ( 75.35 +- 13.18) and
Z ( 76.27 +- 12.92) generations were as indicated. The combination of gender and education
variables had a 3% effect on the total score of the Nursing Professional Commitment Scale.
Generation, gender and education variables in combination have been determined to have
a significant effect of 2.2% on the total score of the Nursing Professional Commitment Scale.
Conclusion: It was found that the nurses' professional commitment was above the average
level and the nurses group with the highest professional commitment belonged to the X
generation. Generation, gender and education variables did not significantly affect professional
commitment separately; but they were found to affect professional commitment when used in
combination.
