Area of Science:

  • Nursing Ethics
  • Bioethics
  • Philosophy of Care

Background:

  • Nursing historically adopted a biomedical view due to close collaboration with medicine.
  • This traditional perspective struggles to explain unique nurse-patient relationships.
  • Bioethics, while facilitating medical collaboration, limits articulation of nursing's distinct ethical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To argue against the sole reliance on the biomedical perspective in nursing.
  • To propose the ethic of care as a more suitable ethical framework for nursing practice.
  • To highlight the potential for palliative care nurses to advance research in the ethic of care.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of nursing and medical ethical frameworks.
  • Argumentative approach exploring the limitations of bioethics in nursing.
  • Literature review on the ethic of care and its application in clinical practice.

Main Results:

  • The biomedical perspective is insufficient for understanding nursing's unique ethical dimensions.
  • Bioethics supports interprofessional collaboration but not the articulation of nursing's specific ethical contributions.
  • The ethic of care provides a robust framework for analyzing clinical nursing practice.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing should move beyond a purely biomedical ethical framework.
  • The ethic of care offers a valuable lens for nurses to understand and articulate their practice.
  • Palliative care nurses are ideally positioned to lead in the promotion and research of the ethic of care.
