Abstract
Background: Although nursing has made progress as a profession, there are still some negative myths to be dispelled.
Purpose: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the nursing image perceived by the society during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: The research population consisted of 663 people who were not in the nursing profession in Turkey. The data were collected with a sociodemographic data form that was prepared by the researchers and a questionnaire that contained questions on the image of nursing. The McNemar Test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Individuals have positive views towards the nursing profession compared to the prepandemic period. Nursing is accepted as a profession that is well known (82.8%), respected (69.8%) and difficult working conditions (88.2%) by individuals in the society (p < .05). However, nursing profession is still perceived as "doctors' assistant" (71.5%).
Conclusion: Although nurses are more visible during the pandemic period and there are positive changes in public perception of the nursing profession, some unfortunate traditional perceptions persist.
