Area of Science:

  • Nursing Ethics
  • Bioethics
  • Professional Ethics

Background:

  • The ethical code of nursing in Israel governs nurse-patient, nurse-colleague, and nurse-leadership interactions.
  • Existing codes may not fully articulate the unique ethical responsibilities inherent in the nursing profession.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide the first English translation of the Israel Nursing Association's Code of Ethics.
  • To critically evaluate the completeness and practical utility of the nursing code using a philosophical framework.
  • To identify and propose the integration of unique ethical obligations specific to nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Philosophical analysis using Asa Kasher's "Three Components of the Practical Ideal" test.
  • Comparative critique of the nursing code against established ethical principles.
  • Review of existing literature on nursing professionalism and ethical standards.

Main Results:

  • The current nursing code lacks explicit delineation of nursing's unique ethical requirements.
  • Professionalism in nursing, including expertise, autonomy, and recognition, is highlighted but not uniquely defined.
  • The translation facilitates international scholarly discourse on nursing ethics.

Conclusions:

  • The nursing code requires augmentation to clearly define unique nursing ethical obligations.
  • Collaborative efforts are needed to integrate these specific requirements into the code.
  • Nursing education must emphasize professional identity formation and commitment to ethical principles.
