Abstract
Ethics in the Curriculum of Undergraduate Nursing Programs in Turkey
Highlights
All healthcare professionals experience ethical problems [1], and nursing students experience these problems just as commonly as other health professionals
The courses related to ethics are titled ‘Nursing History and Deontology’ and ‘Ethics in Nursing’, and they both have high ratings
It is proposed that the curriculum be updated to ensure that theoretical knowledge is transferred to clinical practice in order for the students to develop their ethical decision-making skills
Summary
All healthcare professionals experience ethical problems [1], and nursing students experience these problems just as commonly as other health professionals. Some of these issues involve medication and treatments, quality care, harmful behaviour, force-feeding, and patient confidentiality [2]. Good nursing care includes creative solutions that focus on the personal needs and well-being of patients, including solutions to ethical dilemmas. When nurses encounter ethical dilemmas, they usually employ traditional methods to solve them. This situation evokes a discussion of nurses’ ethical decision-making competences [5]. It is necessary to develop students’ ethical decision-making skills
