    Carol Gilligan's ethic of care offers nursing a moral deliberation framework aligning with its caring traditions. This approach better reflects nursing practice than Kohlberg's theory.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Ethics
    • Moral Philosophy
    • Healthcare Practice

    Background:

    • Nursing's historical and philosophical traditions emphasize relational caring.
    • Current nursing literature often relies on Kohlberg's contractual, Kantian moral theory.
    • There is a need for a moral deliberation paradigm that aligns with nursing's core values.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose Carol Gilligan's ethic of care as a suitable paradigm for moral deliberation in nursing.
    • To demonstrate the compatibility of Gilligan's theory with nursing's traditions.
    • To argue for the superiority of Gilligan's theory over Kohlberg's in reflecting the nursing experience.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of Carol Gilligan's ethic of care theory.
    • Comparison of Gilligan's theory with nursing's historical and philosophical traditions.
    Keywords:

  • Examination of similarities between Gilligan's theory and Jean Watson's nursing theory.
  • Contrast of Gilligan's theory with Kohlberg's dominant nursing ethics framework.

    • Main Results:

    • Gilligan's ethic of care aligns with nursing's relational caring traditions.
    • Caring is empirically supported as a moral activity within Gilligan's framework.
    • Gilligan's theory shares commonalities with Jean Watson's views on the centrality of caring in nursing.
    • Gilligan's theory provides a more accurate reflection of the nursing experience than Kohlberg's theory.

    Conclusions:

    • Carol Gilligan's ethic of care is a valuable and appropriate paradigm for moral deliberation in nursing.
    • This framework empirically validates the moral significance of caring in nursing practice.
    • Gilligan's theory offers a more authentic representation of nursing ethics compared to traditional Kantian models.
