ABSTRACT:
Nursing is an emerging profession. It deals with the development, maintenance and improvement of the health of all individuals. Attitude is an individual’s predisposed state of mind regarding a value and it is precipitated through a responsive expression towards oneself, a person, place, thing or event which in turn influences the individual’s thought and action. A descriptive study was conducted to assess the level of attitude towards nursing profession among rural people. The objectives of the study were to assess the level of attitude towards nursing profession among rural people and to find the association between the level of attitude towards nursing profession with selected socio demographic variables. Total enumerative sampling technique was used. A self-structured 5-point Likert scale was used to assess the level of attitude towards nursing profession. The reliability of the tool was 0.72. The results showed that 68.7% of the rural people had positive attitude and 31.3% had neutral attitude and 0% had negative attitude towards nursing profession. None of the socio demographic variables were associated with the level of attitude towards nursing profession. Rural people still do not believe that nurses educate people to live healthy.
