Abstract
Objective To investigate the ethical needs for nursing of patients with urinary surgery and discuss the interventions related to nursing ethics. Methods Totally 247 patients who received urinary surgery from February 2013 to February 2015 were selected by purposive sampling method. Then their ethical needs for nursing were investigated by our self-designed questionnaires. Finally, targeted interventions of nursing ethics were proposed to meet their most pressing needs found in the study. Results The top three ethical needs for nursing of patients with urinary surgery were disease rehabilitation (4.88±0.59) , privacy protection (4.48±0.52) and health education (3.60±0.48) ; the differences in ethical needs for nursing between patients with different sexes, ages, marital status and literacy were of statistical significance (P<0.05) . Conclusions Unmarried and highly educated females under 18 years old have the highest ethical needs for nursing. Nursing intervention should take the individual variation into consideration and satisfy patients′ ethical needs with differentiated ethical nursing interventions, so as to build a harmonious relationship between doctors and patients, and help patients to restore their health soon.
