[Nursing profession in Lebanon through a study on professional self-image]. / La profession infirmière au Liban à travers une étude sur l'image de soi professionnelle.

Nursing education in Lebanon has integrated the academic world since 1979, but the profession is experiencing difficulties related to the retention of nurses at work and the lack of attraction to the profession. In this context, a study on the professional self-image was conducted among nurses working in hospitals. The results show that nurses have a positive professional self-image, but they find that their image in society is negative and only 20.4% would recommend this career to their children or their entourage.
