Pediatric nursing is a field that takes children and families at central point of care and is responsible for providing health care from the neonatal period to the end of adolescence. Pediatric nurses' awareness of professional values is an important issue that should be addressed for development of nursing practices, quality nursing care, professional identity acquisition, high job satisfaction and minimization of leave of employment. In the studies, it is reported that the development of professional values is an important factor that increases the satisfaction of individuals receiving care and the job satisfaction of nurses.

Ethics committee approval and written permission were obtained from the hospitals before the study was conducted. Written consent was obtained from all participating nursesIn the study. Personal Information Form, Nursing Professional Values Scale (NPVS-R) and Healthcare Environment Survey (HES) were used as data collection tools. These data collection tools were used in the pre-test and post-test.

Nurses working at Akdeniz University Hospital became the intervention group. The nurses who accepted to participate in the study were divided into groups of 5-15 people. Pre-test was applied to nurses who accepted the research. Nurses were given four group trainings. A booklet on the subject prepared by the researchers was given. Three interim interviews were conducted in the subsequent 12-week. Six separate posters were posted in the clinics. Weekly reminder messages were sent via WhatsApp. At the end of the third month, post-test data were collected from the nurses.

The nurses working in the University of Health Sciences Antalya Training and Research Hospital constituted the control group. Pre-test was applied to nurses who accepted the research.
