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,...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics and Genomics
  • Oncology Nursing
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • Breast cancer genetic (BRCA) testing for cancer susceptibility is an emerging medical technology.
  • Understanding healthcare professionals' awareness is vital for effective implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding BRCA genetic testing.
  • To identify factors influencing their understanding and perceptions.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive cross-sectional study involving 150 nurses in a Malaysian tertiary teaching hospital.
  • Data collected via self-administered questionnaires assessing socio-demographics, knowledge, and attitudes.
  • Statistical analysis included Fisher exact test and Bloom's cut-off point.

Main Results:

  • 66.7% of nurses possessed high knowledge of BRCA genetic testing.
  • 58% of nurses had a positive attitude towards genetic testing.
  • Years of working experience correlated with knowledge, while specialty experience influenced attitudes.

Conclusions:

  • Most nurses have adequate knowledge of BRCA genetic testing, but attitudes require improvement.
  • Targeted educational programs are necessary to enhance nurses' understanding and positive disposition.
  • Improved nurse knowledge and attitudes can ultimately benefit women by promoting health-seeking behaviors for cancer susceptibility.
