Purpose:
This research was performed to compare Islamic and Western ethical values in health services management.
Approach:
Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review was employed.
Findings:
Eight final categories of Islamic values (i.e., honesty, piety, foresight, dignity, justice, good temperament, widened heart, and certainty to God) and nine final categories of Western values in health services management (i.e., honesty, freedom, forgiveness, altruism, justice, dignity, responsibility, tolerance, and wisdom) were extracted in this study.
Conclusions:
The results showed some discrepancy between Islamic and Western ethical values, which are partially due to a different definition of values in Islam and the West.
Implications:
The comparison of ethical values can facilitate the exchange of intellectual, cultural, and experimental ideas between Islamic and Western healthcare management.
