Most nurses believe the Code for Nurses is essential, yet few possess a copy. Professionalism in nursing behaviors requires further investigation into accessibility and adherence to ethical codes.

Area of Science:

Nursing
Professional Ethics

Background:

Professional nursing behaviors are guided by ethical codes.
Accessibility and adherence to the Code for Nurses among practicing nurses is not well-documented.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the accessibility of the Code for Nurses among nurses.
To explore the relationship between professional variables and possession of the Code.
To understand nurses' perceptions of the Code's importance.

Main Methods:

A survey was distributed to 514 nurses across eight western states.
Data collected on nurses' practice experience, education, autonomy, and position.
Statistical analysis used to identify factors associated with possessing the Code.

Main Results:

A majority of surveyed nurses did not have a copy of the Code for Nurses.
Despite lacking copies, nurses overwhelmingly affirmed the Code's essential role in professional practice.
Years of practice, educational background, and autonomous activities were explored as potential correlates.

Conclusions:

There is a significant gap between the perceived importance of the Code for Nurses and its physical accessibility.
Continuing education initiatives may be needed to improve Code awareness and distribution.
Further research should explore barriers to Code accessibility and effective strategies for promoting adherence.
