  Professional and extra- professional factors affecting professional socialization of Iranian student nurses: A qualitative study     Dinmohammadi MR [1] *, Jalali A [2] , Peyrovi H [3]     Received: 22 Nov , 2014 Accepted: 30 Jan , 2015  Abstract Background & Aim: A lot of various factors influence professional socialization of nursing students. Consistency and compatibility between the expectations of these factors facilitate the socialization process. This paper aimed to report part of a main study, and it introduces the factors and the conditions affecting professional socialization of Iranian BSN students.  Materials & Methods: The data were collected from 12 BSN students in two large nursing and midwifery schools and two new graduated students. In-depth semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of participants during their clinical placements and after graduation. The data were analyzed using the Straussian version (1998) of grounded theory method and the technique of constant comparative analysis.  Results : Professional (educational settings, educational programs and human factors such as educators, care providers, patients and classmates) and extra-professional (society, media, family, friends and personal predispositions) factors and conditions abstracted and introduced as the context and structure affecting the professional socialization of nursing students. The impact of professional factors with varying degrees on professional socialization of students was generally direct and obvious throughout the educational course. Extra-Professional factors had often indirect and hidden influence starting before the initiation of the course and eased up over the years.  Conclusion: The study findings showed that the socialization of the students rested on the direct or indirect effects of the professional and extra-professional factors. The interaction between the students and these factors determined their socialization in the nursing profession. Keywords: Professional factors Socialization Student nurse Qualitative study    Address: Nursing Department, Nursing and Midwifery School, Zanjan, Iran   Tel: (+98) 9123411908   Email: mdinmohammadi@zums.ac.ir   [1] Assistant Professor, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran (Corresponding Author)  [2] Assistant Professor, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Kermanshah, Iran  [3] Professor, Center for Nursing Care Research, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
