Abstract：Objective:Toinvestigatethestatusoftheoccupationalvaluesoftheclinicalnursesandanalyzetherelationshipbetweenthe occupational values and general self-efficacy. Methods:The nurse occupational values scale and self-efficacy scale were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 473 registered nurses of 13 hospitals in grade II and III in Leshan city of Sichuan province. Results:The scores of occupational values of the investigated nurses were(3. 62 ± 0. 60)points,of them the "trust" dimension score(3. 89 ± 0. 74)was the highest,followed by "care providing" dimension(3. 71 ± 0. 62);the "Activism" dimension score(3. 38 ± 0. 66)was the lowest. The sig-nificant differences were found between the overall occupational values of the investigated nurses and the scores of some dimensions due to the differences of nurse's administrative post,hospital level,the years of serving as a nurse and technical titles(P﹤0. 01,P﹤0. 05);the o-verall occupational values and the score of each dimension were positively correlated with general self-efficacy scores(P﹤0. 01). Conclu-sion:Clinical nurses have relatively high levels of identification towards occupational values. It is suggested that administrators foster nurses according to their different characteristics of occupational values and improve their occupational values by enhancing the self-efficacy.
