Yöntem: Bu araştırma; Türkiyede bir il merkezinde 156 birinci basamak sağlık bakım hemşiresinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilen kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Hemşirelikte Profesyonellik için Davranış Envanter Formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmada birinci basamak sağlık bakım hemşirelerinin profesyonellik düzeyi düşük bulunmuştur. Hemşirelerin eğitim düzeyleri ve bulundukları pozisyonda çalışma süreleri ile profesyonellik düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur.
Sonuçlar: Bu çalışma, birinci basamak sağlık hizmetlerinde çalışan hemşirelerin profesyonellik düzeylerinin düşük olduğunu göstermiştir. Eğitim seviyesi arttıkça profesyonellik düzeyinin arttığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca şimdiki pozisyonda çalışma süreleri arttıkça profesyonellik düzeylerinin azaldığı belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda profesyonel davranışların geliştirilmesine yönelik çalışma ve düzenlemelerin yapılması önerilmektedir.
