Assessing the categories and influencing factors of the professional identity among new nurses: a latent profile analysis
The professional identity of new nurses exhibits considerable heterogeneity, with 71.4% falling into the low-identification/apathetic category. Managers should focus on supporting nurses with lower professional identity. Psychological resilience acts as a protective factor across various identity profiles, and interventions to enhance resilience are recommended to stabilize the nursing workforce and promote the growth of nursing and healthcare.
