Abstract

Within the South African context, the nursing profession comprises different nursing cadres. The enrolled nurse is considered a sub-category of nursing and therefore does not carry the title of ‘professional’ as in a professional nurse. The purpose of the study was to develop, describe, implement, and evaluate a model for the facilitation of self-awareness for the professionalism of enrolled nurses at a specific nursing agency in Gauteng. A theory generating, qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was used and was conducted following Chinn and Kramer's four stages of model development. The model can benefit nursing education because it relates to an essential aspect of growth and maturity in one's career. Ultimately, the facilitation of self-awareness for professionalism can advance one's career, or the lack of self-awareness may impede one's career. Developing, describing, implementing and evaluating this model to facilitate self-awareness for the professionalism of enrolled nurses at a specific nursing agency in Gauteng provides an original contribution to the theory in nursing professionalism and ethos. This model can be utilised as a tool to facilitate self-awareness for the professionalism of enrolled nurses at a nursing agency.
