Sammanfattning

The professional self-concept of different health care workers is an important component in the professional development. In Sweden recent interest has been expressed in the measurement of the professional self–concept of nurses, occupational therapists and medical laboratory technologists. This paper reports an effort to refine our understanding of the instruments NSDF and PSDF measuring the professional selfconcept to evaluate them according to Scientific Advisory Committe of the Medical Outcomes Trust [SAC]. Five different studies, using the NSDF or PSDF instruments, have been analysed. The findings are discussed in relation to the SAC instrument and to literature about measurement and analysis. The comparison between those five studies reveals that there are some doubts related to the construct and criterion validity of the instruments. This as a result of the vague prerequisites of the definition of the construct from relevant theories, for example only one item, resourcefulness is stable in relation to professionalism. Other factors of importance are the number of participants and that the factors have not been named consistently. In spite of this the findings, the NSDF and PSDF instruments, fulfil the main part of the attributes and criteria described in the SAC instrument.
