    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Ethics
    • Nursing Practice
    • Organizational Behavior

    Background:

    • The use of hospital supplies for personal needs by nursing staff is a common occurrence.
    • There is ambiguity regarding the ethical and legal implications of minor supply 'borrowing'.
    • Previous literature has not adequately addressed the nuances of such practices within healthcare settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the ethical considerations of nursing officers using hospital tissues for personal use.
    • To compare the 'perks' or minor supply usage across different occupations.
    • To stimulate discussion on the definition of theft in a healthcare context.

    Main Methods:

    • A qualitative approach involving a critical review of ethical frameworks.
    • Comparative analysis of 'borrowing' practices in nursing versus other professions.
    • Discussion of anecdotal evidence and hypothetical scenarios.

    Main Results:

    • The definition of theft is subjective and context-dependent, especially for low-value items.
    • Minor supply usage by nurses is often viewed differently than by employees in other sectors.
    • Perceived organizational culture and norms influence the acceptance of such practices.

    Conclusions:

    • Clearer guidelines on the use of hospital resources are needed for nursing staff.
    • Distinguishing between minor personal use and actual theft requires careful consideration of intent and value.
    • Further research is recommended to establish professional standards for supply usage in healthcare.
