Area of Science:

  • Nursing Ethics
  • Moral Development
  • Healthcare Professionalism

Background:

  • Moral judgment is crucial for nursing practice.
  • Understanding the evolution of moral reasoning in nurses is essential for professional development.
  • Previous research has not fully explored moral judgment changes from student to qualified nurse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To longitudinally assess changes in moral judgment among nursing students as they transition to qualified nurses.
  • To compare idealistic and realistic moral judgment scores between nursing students and qualified nurses.
  • To identify factors influencing moral judgment development in the hospital environment.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study design involving 80 nursing students in Suwon, Korea (2001-2003).
  • Utilized a Korean version of the Judgment About Nursing Decisions questionnaire.
  • Assessed moral judgment based on Ketefian's six nursing dilemmas.

Main Results:

  • Qualified nurses exhibited significantly higher idealistic moral judgment scores than nursing students.
  • Qualified nurses also demonstrated significantly higher realistic moral judgment scores compared to nursing students.
  • Both qualified nurses and nursing students scored higher on idealistic moral judgment than realistic moral judgment.

Conclusions:

  • Transitioning to a qualified nurse role in a hospital setting is associated with improved moral judgment.
  • Idealistic moral judgment appears to be prioritized over realistic moral judgment by both students and nurses.
  • Further research is recommended to explore the trajectory of moral judgment development in nursing.
