Objective: to know how the nurses working in the Critical Care Unit for adults and the members of the Assistential Ethics Committee deliberate on the assistential ethical issues in a Clinic of Magallanes, Chile. Method: a qualitative research of an exploratory and descriptive character conducted in a Clinic of Magallanes, Chile. Data collection was performed by means of a semi-structured interview in the period from March to May 2018, with ten nurses working in the Critical Care Unit for adults and with four members of the Assistential Ethics Committee who were clinical professionals in different disciplines. The statements obtained were organized in Atlas.ti and analyzed in the light of the theoretical reference framework of ethics, of principalist bioethics, and of Diego Gracia's moral deliberative method. Results: the two professional teams that participated in the research showed having ethical values and principles: protection of human dignity; respect for the patients' rights in all scopes, contexts, and interventions, targeted to provide humanized clinical practices based on scientific evidence and in safeguarding the protection and fulfillment of the patients' rights. Conclusion: nurses show knowledge, empathy, and moral sensitivity when conducting the moral deliberative model in assistential problems. The members of the Assistential Ethics Committee deliberate as a team and come to an agreed upon conclusion, always thinking in the best respect and benefit for the patient's well-being, with empathy and prudence in decision-making as references.
, to respond to their corresponding intrinsic social value, aiming, with this action, to achieve a more prepared and more socially cohesive population. In view of the above, in 2015 both Institutions sign a mutual collaboration agreement in order to develop the International Master's Program in Nursing-MINTER, targeted to nurses from the Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica Region, located in the southernmost end of South America. The policies for the internationalization of education have targeted actions towards an increase in the South-South cooperation, which would characterize Horizontal International Cooperation. As a general rule, Initial International Cooperation starts with training professors, MSs, and PhDs abroad, in order for them to establish academic links and relationships with their peers in the production of research projects, in a movement of Advanced International Cooperation. 1 Higher Education Institutions, especially the PostGraduate programs, enable partnerships and, consequently, the creation and expansion of international networks among different countries, focused on improving the quality of professional training and academic production. Therefore, the internationalization of PostGraduate Nursing has specifically become a permanent challenge in the sense of promoting, above all, a qualitative expansion of the body of researchers, emphasizing the international mobility of professors and students, good quality scientific production, and the impact on social reality. 2
