Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Bioethics
  • Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

  • Nurses require moral sensitivity to navigate complex ethical situations in clinical practice.
  • Effective educational strategies to cultivate this sensitivity are crucial for quality patient care.
  • Understanding the impact of specific training programs on nurses' ethical awareness is an ongoing area of inquiry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive ethics training program on nurses' moral sensitivity.
  • To assess the program's impact on nurses' knowledge of ethical principles.
  • To determine if enhanced moral sensitivity and knowledge correlate with improved ethical decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental, control group pretest/posttest design was employed.
  • The study included 53 nurses from 10 hospitals in Istanbul, Türkiye.
  • Data were collected using the Personal Characteristics Form, Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire, and Nursing Ethics Knowledge Test.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant difference was observed between the intervention and control groups in posttest moral sensitivity (p = .010).
  • The intervention group also demonstrated a significant improvement in nursing ethics knowledge levels compared to the control group (p = .009).
  • The 5-week Interactive Ethics Training Program showed a positive effect on both measured outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Interactive ethics training positively impacts nurses' moral sensitivity and ethical knowledge.
  • Enhancing moral awareness in nurses is vital for facilitating sound ethical decision-making.
  • Nurse educators should consider integrating interactive, ethics-focused curricula to improve practice.
