“…When examining nurses' moral sensitivity, studies have reported varying results. Two studies from Iran reported that most nurses had moderate moral sensitivity [ 24 , 25 ]. Filipova (2009) found that nurses working in one of the Midwestern state of the US had low moral sensitivity [ 26 ].…”

Background Missed care rates are an indicator of healthcare quality. Missed nursing care can reduce patient safety and lead to adverse events. Moral sensitivity enables nurses to interpret and respond to clients’ needs according to ethical principles. Despite the importance of moral sensitivity and its role in the quality of care, the relationship between nurses' moral sensitivity and missed nursing care has not been extensively studied. This raises the question of whether there is an association between nurses' moral sensitivity and missed care. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between nurses’ moral sensitivity and missed nursing care in the medical and surgical departments of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia, Iran. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022, on 202 nurses working in the medical and surgical departments of Imam Khomeini Medical Education Center, Urmia, Iran. Stratified random sampling was used to select the participants. A questionnaire on demographic characteristics, Kalisch's missed care questionnaire, and Lutzen's moral sensitivity questionnaire were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test and linear regression analysis. Results Most participants (52.97%) showed moderate moral sensitivity. Nurses’ mean moral sensitivity and total missed care scores were 149.07 ± 21.60 and 59.45 ± 4.87, respectively. Pearson correlation test showed no significant correlation between moral sensitivity scores and the total missed care scores (r = 0.041, p = 0.152). However, in the regression analysis, moral sensitivity (β = 0.213, p < 0.001), age (β = 0.131, p < 0.001), working in rotating shifts (β = 0.183, p < 0.001), monthly income (β = 0.079, p = 0.004), work experience (β = 0.030, p = 0.010), and monthly work hours (β = 0.247, p = 0.010) influenced missed care. Approximately, 0.98% of the variance in the missed care was explained by these variables. Conclusion Our nurses reported moderate levels of moral sensitivity and a concerning level of missed care. Missed care can have detrimental effects on patient safety. Therefore, nursing managers must address this issue promptly.
