Professional identity among nurses and nursing students in the Philippines and Japan.

日本将根据2006年9月签署的经济伙伴关系协定接受菲律宾护士。根据这项协议，日本护士很可能将与菲律宾护士一起工作。因此，尽管工作环境发生了变化，但重要的是要保持护理质量。积极的感觉来自良好的关系，深深的信任和亲和力，然后导致一个人的身份的形成。另一方面，纠缠、对立、不和谐等负面情绪会导致一个人的身份认同崩溃。本研究旨在比较菲律宾与日本护士与护生的专业认同。结果显示，菲律宾护士和护生的职业认同感强于日本护士和护生。

Japan will be accepting nurses from the Philippines under an Economic Partnership Agreement(EPA) which was signed in September 2006. Based on this agreement, it is likely that Japanese nurses will work alongside Filipino nurses. Therefore, despite changes within the workplace environment, it is important to maintain the quality of nursing. Positive feelings develop from good relationships, deep trust and affinity which then lead to the formation of one's identity. On the other hand, negative feelings such as entanglement, opposition and disharmony can cause one's identity to collapse. The purpose of this study was to compare the professional identity among nurses and nursing students in the Philippines and Japan. Results showed that the professional identity among Filipino nurses and nursing students was stronger than among the Japanese counterparts.
