| Summary: | Professionalism has been discussed among nurses
for years. Nursing in Malaysia also experiences
a gradual progression toward professionalism
despite the rapid development of nursing education.
Anecdotally, every nurse will rather admit
that they are professional. However, there
might be a possibility of speaking of it rather
than doing it. This paper explores the existence
of professionalism among nurses in Malaysia
empirically and discusses pertinent research
and/or studies that were conducted within the
Malaysia context in the recent years. Numerous
literature pertinent to professionalism in nursing
were discussed. Several pertinent papers explored
and discussed diversely in the context of
professionalism in nursing nevertheless mainly
conceived from the western countries’ perspectives.
Furthermore, a marginalized amount of literature
discuss professionalism in nursing within
Malaysia context. This paper is likely to suggest the need to amplify the needs of researching the
existence of professionalism in nursing practice
and to reinstate the significance of the elements
of professionalism among nurses in Malaysia in
education and practice.
