Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Moral Development
  • Professional Ethics

Background:

  • Traditional disciplinary approaches to academic misconduct in nursing education do not adequately support the development of professional identity or core nursing values.
  • A gap exists in pedagogical strategies for guiding nursing students through complex ethical decisions as they integrate personal and professional values.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an affective learning module for prelicensure nursing students to enhance moral decision-making skills.
  • To foster the integration of personal and professional values, promoting integrity in academic and practice settings.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Rest's theory of moral development to structure affective learning activities focusing on moral sensitivity, judgment, motivation, and character.
  • Employed Krathwohl's taxonomy to define affective learning objectives.
  • Designed a module involving discussions, reflections, and analysis of actions and consequences in academic and practice-based scenarios.

Main Results:

  • Rest's theoretical model offers a structured framework for advancing moral development in nursing students.
  • The module effectively connects academic behaviors with professional conduct, emphasizing integrity.

Conclusions:

  • Moral development is a critical component of nursing education, supported by structured theoretical models.
  • Curriculum innovation engaging students in moral decision-making is key to cultivating integrity in future nurses.
