Abstract:
The aim of this study is to determine the mediating role of moral sensitivity in the effect of nurses' professional values on missed nursing care. A descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 640 nurses working in the inpatient units of a public and a private hospital with the MISSCARE Survey-Turkish, the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire, and the Revised Nursing Professional Values Scale. Data analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences 26.0, Hayes' PROCESS macro for SPSS v4.0, and the Analysis of Moment Structures 24.0. It was determined that nurses' professional values had a significant and positive effect on moral sensitivity, and nurses' moral sensitivity had a significant and negative effect on missed nursing care. In addition, the direct and indirect effects of nurses' professional values on missed nursing care were statistically significant. The research model showed that increasing nurses' professional values and moral sensitivity decreased missed nursing care, and moral sensitivity significantly mediated the interaction between nurses' professional values and missed nursing care.
