Obedience

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Accountability and Responsibility of a Nurse II

Professional accountability in nursing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses professional ethics, legal standards, and employment expectations. This framework ensures that nurses maintain and elevate the quality of care while upholding the values of their profession. It compels them to treat patients, families, and colleagues with respect, compassion, and integrity.
For example, a nurse demonstrating respect and compassion might listen attentively to a patient's concerns, provide...

The Professional Nurse

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Cognitive Dissonance

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Professional Values

Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Nursing Code of Ethics

Nursing Code of Ethics

The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

Area of Science:

Military Medicine
Nursing Administration
Organizational Psychology

Background:

Understanding the attitudinal profiles of military nursing officers is crucial for effective leadership and retention.
Factors influencing job satisfaction, commitment, and attitudes within the Military Nursing Service require investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the attitudinal profiles of nursing officers in military hospitals.
To examine the relationship between length of service, job satisfaction, commitment, and attitudes.

Main Methods:

A questionnaire was administered to 158 nursing officers across five military hospitals.
Cluster analysis was employed to identify patterns in attitudinal data based on years of service.

Main Results:

Higher commitment was observed in officers with over 16 years of service compared to those with less than 5 years.
Job satisfaction and self-image declined with increased service length, alongside a more authoritarian attitude and negative views towards authority.
Sexual harassment perceptions and erosion of the principal matron's authority increased with seniority.

Conclusions:

Seniority significantly impacts nursing officers' commitment, job satisfaction, and attitudes, presenting a complex profile.
Addressing issues such as paperwork, environmental deterioration, and the perceived decline in the Military Nursing Service image is essential for junior officers.
Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to support nursing officers throughout their careers.
