Values of nursing students: a descriptive qualitative study

As a result, the alignment of personal and professional values is crucial for fostering meaningful lives and delivering high-quality patient care. Moreover, this study identified that nursing students possess core values that guide their practices and that they have psychosocial and educational needs to engage in values-based actions. Therefore, the integration of value-centred approaches into nursing curricula is essential to promote holistic, ethically based, and patient-centred care practices.
