    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Ethics
    • Clinical Decision-Making

    Background:

    • Nurses routinely engage in ethical decision-making, yet practical resources and understanding of their processes are limited.
    • Existing knowledge suggests some nurses do not explore multiple options in ethical deliberations due to time constraints and unidentified variables.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical ethical decision-making model used by nurses.
    • To identify factors influencing nurses' current ethical decision-making skills.
    • To highlight the need for further research into nurses' ethical resolution processes and challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • A descriptive approach was used to present a clinical ethical decision-making model.
    • Factors influencing nurses' ethical decision-making skills were identified.

    Main Results:

    • Nurses may not consider multiple options during ethical deliberations, potentially due to time limitations.
    • Unidentified and uncontrolled variables can hinder the implementation of chosen ethical options.
    • Current ethical dilemmas often present only two options for nurses.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating ethics rounds into medical and nursing rounds can increase time for ethical deliberation.
    • Further research is crucial to understand nurses' ethical decision-making processes, influencing variables, and experienced problems.
    • Enhanced ethical decision-making skills can be achieved through increased deliberation time, ethics discussions, education, and ethicist consultations.
