Professional commitment is a key indicator of success in the nursing profession. Nursing schools play a critical role in fostering this commitment by instilling the values and responsibilities associated with the profession. Developing a culture of commitment and integrating it as a societal value is essential for cultivating professional behavior in students. This study aimed to identify strategies for enhancing and developing socio-cultural factors that influence professional commitment among nursing students. This applied research employed a qualitative approach. Twenty professional experts were selected through purposive sampling in 2021. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, guided by the principle of theoretical saturation, and analyzed using content analysis. Six major components were identified as influential strategies: 1. Participation of communication media in the cultural and scientific advancement of the profession; 2. Attention to cultural differences between universities and healthcare centers; 3. Promotion of a culture of commitment in universities and clinical settings; 4. Attention to the alignment between individual culture and professional culture; 5. Attention to ensuring the profession benefits from social support; 6. Attention to the promotion of a culture of work and effort in society. These components were reflected in 20 specific indicators, including: raising awareness, instilling a sense of need, fostering concern among academic communities, educating nurses, resolving cultural conflicts, creating conducive educational environments, employing committed faculty, embedding commitment in the culture and as a duty, aligning individual and professional cultures, promoting social prestige and recognition of the profession, addressing local cultural aspects and gender roles, and enhancing flexibility and participation in social interactions.
The development of professional commitment in nursing students can be significantly enhanced through the promotion of ethical and professional principles and the establishment of a supportive socio-cultural environment. Embedding professional commitment within cultural frameworks contributes to students’ sense of responsibility and its sustainability in professional practice.
