About this trial

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.

Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised reflecting the American Nurses Association's code of ethics was developed by Darlene Weis and Mary Jane Schank in 2009 (Weis \& Schank, 2009). It was developed to determine the compliance of nurses and nursing students with professional values. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Acaroğlu (2014). 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.
