Mapping differences in the societal and professional recognition of nurses allows for benchmarking among countries.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Aim:<\/jats:bold>\n                    To investigate the level of societal recognition of the nursing profession in nine European countries, and the level of professional recognition perceived by European nurses themselves; to compare levels of recognition between countries; and to identify influencing factors.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted. Through an online survey, the study surveyed both the general public and nurses from various healthcare settings across nine countries between December 2022 and June 2023. The instrument used was a combination of self\u2010developed questions on societal and professional recognition, the Work Motivation Scale and an adapted version of the Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale. Data were analysed using SPSS v.29.0, with socioeconomic prestige scores for the public and work environment\/work motivation scores for nurses calculated accordingly.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A total of 1618 adult citizens and 2335 nurses participated. The public predominantly characterised nurses with attributes such as friendliness, warmth, empathy and compassion. The mean socioeconomic prestige score assigned to nurses was 7.2\/10 (SD 1.9), with Portugal having the highest score (\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    7.5\/10, SD 2.0) and Norway the lowest (\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    5.8\/10, SD 1.4;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001). Professional recognition experienced by nurses was generally low (54% indicated rather low, 17% very low). Slovenia, the Netherlands and Belgium had slightly higher mean scores (all\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    1.4\/3) compared to other countries (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001). High professional recognition could be predicted for 33% by work environment score (OR\u2009=\u20091.21; 95% CI [1.19\u20131.24]), work motivation score (OR\u2009=\u20091.02; 95%CI[1.01\u20131.02]), expertise outside the hospital (OR\u2009=\u20091.57; 95% CI [1.25\u20131.97]) and work experience (OR\u2009=\u20091.01; 95% CI [1.00\u20131.02]) corrected for country.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to improve the professional and public image of the nursing profession while addressing disparities in professional recognition between countries.
