“…Proper moral sensitivity not only functions to resolve ethical dilemmas or justify actions, but also serves to prevent ethical dilemmas and conflicts (17). Furthermore, moral sensitivity acts a core component of the integrity that a nurse should possess in caring for patients who are in need of their professional healthcare service (18). When pediatric nurses behave with high moral sensitivity, this both contributes to professionalization and directly affects the quality of nursing care provided to patients (19).…”

Abstract:The aim of this study is to determine the ethical experiences and the level of moral sensitivity and related factors of pediatric nurses working in hospital settings. Designed as descriptive and cross-sectional, the study was undertaken at three public hospitals in Konya and Ankara, Turkey and included the participation of a total of 200 pediatric nurses. The Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ) was used for evaluation of the ethical sensitivities of the nurses. Of the 200 nurses, 46.5% had working experience of between 1-5 years, 58% were married, 18.6% had not undergone any ethics education, and 59.5% held a bachelor's degree. A large majority (95%) of the pediatric nurses reported that they had encountered ethical problems. The mean moral sensitivity score of the nurses was 95.89±24.34, with higher scores in this area being observed in the nurses who were in the older age group and had worked longer than others (p<0.05). The mean moral sensitivity score of the nurses was determined to be at a medium level and was found to be influenced by the age group they were in and the length of time they had worked.

“…[12] Therefore, nursing ethics education is commonly provided for undergraduate nursing students in most nursing colleges; however, consensus on the content and teaching modules for these ethics courses has still not been established. [13] It has been suggested that education on the code of ethics might help to establish the identity of professional nursing behaviors and promote professional development. [4] In addition, it has been argued that educational interventions or experiential stimulation should be implemented since the initial stage of theoretical education and clinical practice, to help students to recognize the code of nursing ethics and promote the establishment of professional values.…”

“…[14,15] Thus, it has been suggested that nursing students could learn to develop desirable relationships with other nurses, nursing clients as humans, and various cooperators as a result of ethics education, as well as to understand their professional obligations as experts and to establish desirable professional values. Although there have been some preceding studies [13,16,17] measuring the influence of ethics education, few have measured the influence of ethics education based on the extent of change in awareness regarding the code of ethics. Changes in nursing students' awareness regarding the ethics code can increase application in practice.…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of ethics education on Korean nursing students' awareness regarding the code of ethics. This study employed a one group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 48 sophomore nursing students with no clinical experience from a city in Korea. In this study, ethics education involved lectures related to "nursing ethics and professionalism". Data were collected in September and December 2016. The collected data were analyzed using means, standard deviations, and paired t tests. The mean score on awareness regarding the code of ethics increased from 3.75 to 4.40 after the ethics education (t = 6.350, p < .001). Scores on the sub-domains of nurses and patients, obligations of nurses as experts, and nurses and cooperators also increased significantly (t = 6.224, t = 5.436, t = 4.969, respectively, all p < .001). In this study, ethics education was found to raise nursing students' awareness regarding the code of ethics. Both awareness and practice of the code of ethics are crucial for adherence to the moral standards of professional behaviors required from medical professionals. Ethics education needs to be implemented, as it is indispensable for building a desirable ethical value system among future medical professionals and for enabling them to put ethical behaviors into practice by improving their moral judgment and sensitivity.
