    Nurses and physicians frequently face ethical problems, but their perceptions differ significantly. Physicians often overlook disagreements with nurses, impacting healthcare team communication and ethical decision-making.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Healthcare Communication
    • Clinical Practice

    Background:

    • Ethical dilemmas are common in acute-care settings.
    • Understanding interprofessional perceptions of ethical issues is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.
    • Previous research highlights potential communication gaps between nurses and physicians regarding ethical concerns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore and compare how nurses and physicians perceive ethical problems in clinical medicine.
    • To identify discrepancies in the recognition and reporting of ethical challenges between these two professional groups.
    • To inform strategies for improving interprofessional communication and collaboration in addressing ethical issues.

    Main Methods:

    • Structured interviews were conducted with a sample of healthcare professionals.

  • Participants included 26 nurses and 24 physicians working in acute-care units.
  • Qualitative data analysis focused on perceptions of ethical problem frequency and interprofessional disagreements.

    • Main Results:

    • Both nurses and physicians reported frequent encounters with ethical problems, with notable intra-group variability.
    • Significant disagreements arose within the healthcare team regarding ethical decisions.
    • Nurses frequently reported conflicts with physicians, whereas physicians rarely acknowledged such disagreements.

    Conclusions:

    • Heterogeneous perceptions of ethical problems exist between nurses and physicians.
    • Physicians' underrecognition of disagreements with nurses poses a challenge to effective ethical deliberation.
    • Clinical ethicists must acknowledge these differing perceptions to enhance communication and collaboration in resolving ethical dilemmas.
