Background For the patients receiving care in the operating room, it emphasizes that the ethical behavior and attitude of health professionals should be aligned with patients’ basic human rights. Surgical ethics may provide an ethical alternative in a specific operating room context. However, it is unclear how actively research is being conducted in this regard. Aim This study determines the direction of future research by identifying ethical issues experienced in the operating room. Method This scoping review is based on the methodological framework suggested by Arksey and O’Malley in 2005. PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, WOS, Cochrane, KISS, and KMbase databases were searched from January 2012 to May 2022. Two researchers independently screened the searched articles by reviewing the titles, abstracts, and full texts. Consequently, 19 studies were selected. Findings Five categories were identified: Professional ethics, Organizational ethics, Patients’ rights, Patient safety, and Allocating resources. The derived categories covered all the same content as the International Council of Nurses’ (ICN) code of ethics, with the exception of one element, that is, global health. Conclusions This study highlights ethical issues in the operating theatre and emphasizes the need for individual and organizational strategies aligned with the ICN code of ethics. Future research should cover a wider range of issues, employ diverse perspectives and methodologies, and enhance ethical practices to improve understanding and ethical practices in the field.

“…However, little work has been undertaken to reveal how the “norms” laid out in the ethical codes and the ethics of care currently function in practice (cf. Heikkinen et al 2006 ; Jonasson et al 2011 ). We therefore considered it worthwhile to examine whether and to what degree the room for interpretation in decision-making leads to differences of opinion and conflicts, and what consequences the conflicts have.…”

Conflicts and conflict regulation in hospices: nurses’ perspectives

The present article considers conflicts and conflict regulation in hospices. The authors carried out a qualitative study in three hospices in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, to explore how conflicts arise and how conflict regulation proceeds. Hospice nurses should act according to a set of ethical codes, to mission statements of the institution and to professional standards of care. In practice the subjective interpretations of codes and/or models concerning questions of care are causes of conflicts among nurses, with doctors, patients and family members. The management has two choices to react to these conflicts. It can either tolerate the conflicts, as long as they do not disturb the daily routine. Or it can increase the degree of organisation by integrating the different viewpoints into its own program and/or by restructuring its organisational units.

Telephone counselling is a growing and complex task for district nurses in municipal home care, especially during evenings and at weekends. Work at call-time is often handled via telephone from cars, without access to records or other information about patients. There is a lack of research in this subject. The aim of this study was to explore preconditions for district nurses' telephone counselling at call-time. An observational study with an inductive approach was conducted. A structural protocol was used with a following open question. Seven district nurses who worked in home care in two municipalities in Sweden participated. Data were analysed using content analysis. Five categories were identified: 'availability', 'professionalism', 'communicability, 'secure approach', and 'technical approach'. Accessibility appears to be given priority over security. Ethical reflection is required on telephone management policy for district nurses' telephone counselling while driving and other interventions that require undivided attention.
