Area of Science:

Nursing Ethics
Community Change Theory
Professional Development

Background:

The American Nurses Association (ANA) Steering Committee revised the 2001 Code of Ethics for nursing.
Understanding the process of community change is crucial for professional evolution.

Purpose of the Study:

To retrospectively analyze the community change process during the revision of the ANA's Code of Ethics for nursing.
To apply the humanbecoming community change processes to understand these phases of change.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of the community change process.
Application of the humanbecoming community change framework.

Main Results:

Identified six distinct phases in the community change process: organizing for diversity of thinking, scanning the horizon of ethical thought, developing unifying discourse, creating new languaging, anticipating an emerging future, and bearing witness to community innovation.
The humanbecoming model provided a framework to expand the understanding of these change phases.

Conclusions:

The identified phases offer insights into the dynamics of ethical code revision within professional nursing communities.
The humanbecoming community change processes can enhance the understanding of professional ethical development and innovation.
