“…Also, the ethical attitude in nursing care of intensive care nurses who were 38 years or older, who were male, or who had a bachelor's degree or higher was at a higher level. Kırca and Levent Özgönül 23 found that nurses' ethical attitudes in nursing care varied according to their age, experience, and the ethical problems that they had faced and that the ethical attitudes of those who had had education on ethics were higher. It is important to receive education on ethics in order for ethical sensitivity, which is at a high-enough level, to affect positively the quality of nursing care 14,33 …”

“…This form was created in line with the literature 4,20-25 . It contained 12 questions on the nurses' sociodemographic (age, sex, marital status, educational level), other descriptive characteristics (length of time working in the profession, place of work [unit], length of experience in intensive care, type of work, and willingness to choose that profession), and on attitude to EOL care and ethics (receiving education, care of EOL care patients, experience of death in the clinic).…”

Background Nurses are in a central position to improve care for dying patients and their families by challenging current end-of-life practices in their settings. Nurses who care for such patients experience the associated ethical dilemmas. However, the relation between their attitude and behavior regarding end-of-life care and their ethical attitudes is not known. Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the relation between the attitudes and behaviors of intensive care unit nurses to end-of-life care and their ethical attitudes in the care process. Methods The research was conducted in Antalya, one of the most populous provinces in Turkey, with 287 intensive care nurses working in 4 different hospitals. The research data were collected between June 30 and August 30, 2021. Self-report data were collected using a Nurses' Description Form, the Attitudes and Behaviors of ICU Nurses to End-of-Life Care Scale, and the Ethical Attitude Scale for Nursing Care. Results The mean score of the intensive care nurses for attitude and behaviors to end-of-life care was 62.36 ± 13.22, and their mean score for ethical attitude for nursing care was 149.76 ± 24.98. Conclusion It was found that intensive care nurses' attitudes and behaviors to end-of-life care had a positive correlation on their ethical attitudes in the care process (P < .001). Discussion It would be of interest to understand how these attitudes impact clinical decision-making for the ultimate understanding of whether nurses' attitudes can be a barrier to the delivery of quality end-of-life care.

“…The results of the studies on the impact of education on ethical sensitivity and ethical attitudes in nurses show variability. In the studies of Yilmaz et al (2018) and Kırca and Özgönül (2020), no significant difference was found between the education levels of nurses and their ethical sensitivity levels [ 53 , 54 ]. Meanwhile, in the study of Kahriman and Yesilcicek-Çalık (2017), it was suggested that as the education level of nurses increased, ethical sensitivity increased [ 55 ].…”

Background Intensive care units are directly associated with the competency level of nurses and are units where ethical problems are frequently experienced. This research aims to determine the relationship between intensive care nurses’ ethical attitudes and holistic competence levels. Methods This study was conducted as a cross-sectional design using self-report questionnaires distributed to 131 intensive care nurses in Turkey. The data of the study were collected with the “Nurses Information Form,” “Holistic Nursing Competence Scale” and “Ethical Attitude Scale for Nursing Care”. Results The total mean score of the Holistic Nursing Competence of the nurses was 6.89±0.95. Holistic Nursing Competence level was significantly lower for those who had experienced less than one year in the profession, and it was higher for those who worked in the emergency intensive care unit and the nurses whose clinics had 21 and above nurses. The total mean score of the nurses’ ethics attitude toward nursing care was 59.36±29.09. Ethical Attitude for Nursing Care was significantly lower for those who had a master’s degree, and the nurses whose clinics had 21 and above nurses scored higher. There was a weak and negative correlation between the nurses’ Holistic Nursing Competence Scale and the total mean score of the Ethical Attitude Scale for Nursing Care. The ethical attitude was predicted in 13.2% of the Holistic Nursing Competence of nurses. Conclusions It was concluded that nurses’ holistic competence levels were high, their ethical attitudes were negative, and there was a weak negative correlation between their holistic competence levels and their ethical attitudes toward care.
