Nursing ethics require more than just care; they must integrate cure and justice. A professional ethic for nurses needs both relationship-based care and individual-focused cure for complete patient well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Ethics
  • Healthcare Philosophy
  • Professional Accountability

Background:

  • Recent literature posits care as the sole foundation of nursing's professional ethic.
  • This perspective is prevalent in general and cardiovascular nursing scholarship.
  • The existing framework emphasizes the relationship aspect of nursing practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine the literature defining nursing ethics.
  • To challenge the sufficiency of care as the sole ethical foundation.
  • To propose an integrated ethical model for nursing practice.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of existing nursing and healthcare ethics literature.
  • Philosophical examination of the concepts of care and cure.

  • Comparative analysis of ethical frameworks in healthcare.

    • Main Results:

    • Care is a necessary but insufficient component of nursing ethics.
    • Excluding cure leads to an incomplete ethical framework for nursing.
    • The integration of care (relationship) and cure (justice/individual) is essential.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing's professional ethic must encompass both care and cure.
    • An adequate nursing ethic integrates relationship-based care with justice-oriented cure.
    • This integrated approach ensures comprehensive patient well-being and ethical practice.
