Popis: The Nurse Self Description Form (NSDF) is a self-administered paper-and-pencil test and contains 19 items with which respondents mark own self-valuation. The NSDF has previously been used in California (USA) to explore the relationship between sex-role identity and description of self, and to study the perception of professional self among graduating nurses. A translation and adaptation of the instrument into Swedish conditions has been carried out. The applicability of the instrument has been tested with the aid of the result from a pilot study using the NSDF carried out in Sweden and the result from a study presented by Dagenais & Meleis in 1982. The comparison between the Swedish version of the instrument and its opposite number in California indicates that the substance of the Swedish NSDF is not influenced by the translation and adaptation into Swedish.
