AimThe purpose of this study was to translate and validate the ethical awareness scale for nurses working in Iranian intensive care units.DesignA cross‐sectional psychometric study.MethodsThe study was conducted in Oct 2020 to Sep 2021, involving the participation of 200 ICU nurses. The process included translation of the original version of the ethical awareness scale into Persian, following the World Health Organization guideline, for use in Iran. The translated version was then evaluated for reliability, face validity, content validity ratio, content validity index, convergent validity and construct validity.ResultsThe initial reliability of the scale was established. In qualitative face validity, a few items changed slightly and all items were retained in the quantitative face validity assessment. Based on Lawshe's values, three items were removed from the scale during CVR assessment. All items exhibited acceptable CVI scores. Convergent validity was established with an average variance extracted greater than 0.5. The fit indices, such as CFI = 0.94, GFI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.01, AGFI = 0.97 and CMIN/DF = 2.99, supported the structural model of the scale. The fit indices for the structural model of the scale were all within acceptable ranges, suggesting that the model fit the data well. Its reliability was confirmed through the test–retest method, with Cronbach's alpha = 0.84 and McDonald's omega coefficient >0.8.ConclusionThe findings of this study indicate the Persian version of the ethical awareness scale for Iran (EAS‐IR) is comparable in content to the original version, demonstrating its validity and reliability for assessing ethical awareness among Iranian nurses in ICUs. The scale can be a valuable resource for measuring ethical awareness in the Iranian healthcare context and may contribute to improving ethical practices and decision‐making in ICU settings.Patient or Public ContributionIn this project, no patient or public contribution was necessary, because it was not applied to our work.

Evaluating Master of Nursing Specialist (MNS) students' knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding catheter‐related thrombosis (CRT) prevention and treatment is beneficial in developing effective CRT training for them. This study thus aimed to explore their knowledge, attitudes, and practice toward CRT. This was a cross‐sectional study that included 1046 MNS students in China. The results revealed that the median scores for the participants' knowledge, attitudes, and practice were 12 (interquartile range: 9–14), 55 (interquartile range: 50–65), and 62 (interquartile range: 51–71), respectively. There was a positive correlation between knowledge and attitudes, as well as attitudes and practice. Age, school level, proactively learning CRT knowledge, gender, enrolment method, participation in clinical practice time, and attendance at CRT training were related to knowledge (p < 0.05). Attendance at CRT training and experience using thrombosis risk assessment forms were related to attitude and practice (p < 0.05). Gender and experience caring for CRT patients were associated with practice (p < 0.05). MNS students have insufficient knowledge of CRT prevention and treatment, and the practice needs to be improved. However, their attitudes are positive.

Clinical nurse adherence to professional ethics: A grounded theory

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Professional ethics is the regulation and discipline of nurses’ daily nursing work. Nurses often encounter various ethical challenges and problems in their clinical work, but there are few studies on nurses' adherence to professional ethics. Research Aim An analysis of nursing adherence to nursing ethics from the perspective of clinical nurses in the Chinese public health system. Research Design This study adopts the grounded theory approach proposed by Strauss and Corbin. Participants and research context Between July 2021 and January 2022, Clinical nurses were recruited for online video interviews using purposive and theoretical sampling methods in seven hospitals in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Henan, Guangdong, and Fujian, China. Data analysis was conducted using Strauss and Corbin’s coding approach. Ethical considerations This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Sanming First Hospital (MingYiLun 71/2021) Findings A total of 27 participants were included. A theoretical model of nursing staff adherence to professional ethics was constructed. The main core was adherence to professional ethics and the other cores were (1) causal conditions: professional ethics code, individual conscience; (2) intervening conditions: personal growth, social support system, matching career compensation, prediction of adverse consequences; (3) action strategies: sticking to professional values, self-regulation, flexible response, post-event improvement; and (4) outcomes: self-harmony, reduced medical disputes. Conclusions This study provides an interpretive understanding of why clinical nurses adhere to professional ethics in China and describes the challenges and issues posed by nurses’ use of strategies to cope with ethical adversity. The findings can be used to develop future complex studies.
