ETHICS OF LATE RENAISSANCE ENGLAND, ITS PLACE IN HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY

The purpose of the article is to visually show that the laws, principles, concepts of ethics have been identified and developed over the millennia in different countries, among different peoples. And, I think, one cannot consider oneself an expert in this area without getting acquainted - at least briefly - with the centuries-old course of comprehending the secrets of ethical knowledge. Since antiquity, the largest minds of mankind have contributed to the formation of ethical thought, its philosophy and categorical-conceptual apparatus. They opened for us the depths of morality and the facets of beauty, since ethical education in their understanding is, first of all, and is an integral part of the comprehensive and harmonious development of the individual, regardless of time and circumstances, because it is a powerful means of spiritual enrichment for a representative of anyone - in that the number of the new - society. Based on this, the author set the main task - to explicitly show the place of the ethics of England in the late Renaissance in history and philosophy starting from the initial stages of the process of its formation as a science.

Master coach The Consequences Workplace of the Head Nurse's Adherence to Nursing Professional Educational Ethics and Knowledge of Moral Dilemmas at King Abdulaziz Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia

Conducting ethics deals with standards of moral judgment. Every day, professional nurses are required to make ethical decisions about patient care. They must have good adequate practice and knowledge of ethics to make ethical decisions. In addition, a head nurse's respect for the respected climate can affect job adherence by improving nurses' professional values and raising their awareness toward moral and ethical issues facing care practice through acceptance and correction of errors, which leads to improved quality of care by enforcing values of the profession and prevents negative consequences of errors hiding. The aim of this study was to examine the consequences of the head nurse's adherence to respect educational programs on nurses' professional ethics and knowledge of moral dilemmas. This study method used a Quasi-experimental research design. Setting: The study was conducted at King Abdul Aziz Hospital. The Subjects were all head nurses who worked in the inpatient and outpatient units, and all staff nurses worked in the same departments. Research Instrument of four tools were used in this study; respect knowledge questionnaire, workplace respect climate Self- Assessment scale, nursing professional value Scale, and moral and ethical issue knowledge questionnaire. The results showed total knowledge score and levels of perceived workplace respect among head nurses were low before the program implementation. After the program implementation, they had higher scores with statistically significant differences; also, the staff nurse professional value scores and moral and ethical issues awareness scores increased after implementing a respect education program for head nurses. In Conclusion, the respective training program positively affected head nurses by increasing their knowledge and self-assessment about perceived workplace respect after the program implementation. Recommendations were periodical conferences and programs for head nurses must develop respect skills, behaviors, and communication to motivate the worth of their professional values towards nursing and acknowledge moral and ethical knowledge.

Human nature, history, and the limits of critique

AbstractThis essay defends a form of ethical naturalism in which ethical knowledge is explained by human nature. Human nature, here, is not the essence of the species but its natural history as socially and historically determined. The argument does not lead to social relativism, but it does place limits on the scope of ethical critique. As society becomes “total”, critique can only be immanent; to this extent, Adorno and the Frankfurt School are right.

Assessment of surgery residents' knowledge of medical ethics and law. Implications for training and education.

Medical ethics and law are essential topics that should be included in medical residency programs. However, surgery training programs in Iran lack a specific course in medical ethics and law, which can lead to patient dissatisfaction with surgical outcomes. This study aimed to assess surgery residents' knowledge of medical ethics and law and suggest improvements for future residency programs. This descriptive cross-sectional study involved 112 surgery residents from six teaching hospitals. A valid and reliable questionnaire comprising 15 items on medical ethics and 12 items on medical law was used to assess participants' knowledge. Most participants were female (31-40 years old), and their mean knowledge score for medical ethics was 3.26±0.53 out of 5, with the lowest score in "futile treatment and DNR orders." The mean knowledge score for medical law was 3.69±0.69, with the lowest score in "surrogate decision-maker." Age did not affect residents' knowledge, but gender did, with female residents demonstrating significantly better knowledge of medical ethics (3.344/5 vs. 3.112/5) and law (3.789/5 vs. 3.519/5). Surgery residents had a relatively favorable knowledge of medical ethics and law, but they require further training in some areas to improve their knowledge. Training should include journal clubs, role-play programs, standardized patient programs, and debates to achieve better results, as purely didactic lectures appear inadequate.

Factors associated with the moral courage of nurses in China: Across-sectional study.

The purpose of this study was to assess the level of moral courage among nurses in China, and to explore related influential factors, to help nursing managers take measures to improve nurses' moral courage. A cross-sectional study. The data adopted a convenient sampling method. From September to December 2021, 583 nurses from five hospitals in Fujian Province completed the Chinese version of the Nurses' Moral Courage Scale (NMCS). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, T-test, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The Chinese nurses perceived themselves, on average, as morally courageous. The mean NMCS score was 3.64 ± 0.692. The six factors showed statistically significant correlations (p < 0.05) with moral courage. Regression analysis showed that the main factors influencing nurses' moral courage were active learning of ethics knowledge and nursing was a career goal. This study provides the self-evaluation level and related influencing factors of Chinese nurses' moral courage. There is no doubt that nurses still need strong moral courage to face unknown ethical problems and challenges in the future. Nursing managers should pay attention to the cultivation of nurses' moral courage, using various forms of educational activities to help nurses alleviate moral problems and improve their moral courage, to maintain patients' access to high-quality nursing.

Views of physiotherapists on factors that play a role in ethical decision-making: an international online survey study

BackgroundThere is a lack of knowledge about the ways physiotherapists around the world learn about professional code of ethics and ethical decision-making frameworks. The profession has a gap in the understanding about physiotherapists’ views on factors that play a role in ethical decision-making and whether these views differ between World Physiotherapy regions.MethodsAn online survey study in English was conducted from October 2018 to October 2019. Participants included 559 physiotherapists located in 72 countries. The self-designed survey questionnaire contained 13 items asking about demographic information and means of learning about ethical codes and decision-making frameworks. A further 30 items were presented which included statements underpinned with individual, organisational, situational and societal factors influencing ethical decision-making. Participants were asked to express their level of agreement or disagreement using a 5-point-Likert-scale.ResultsParticipants’ highest rated responses endorsed that the professional role of physiotherapists is linked to social expectations of ethical behaviour and that ethical decision-making requires more skills than simply following a code of ethics. A recognisable organisational ethical culture was rated as supporting good ethical decisions. Comparing responses by World Physiotherapy regions showed significant differences in factors such as culture, religion, emotions, organisational values, significant others, consequences of professional misconduct and professional obligations. Entry level education was not perceived to provide a solid base for ethical decision-making in every World Physiotherapy region. Participants reported multiple sources for learning about a professional code of ethics and ethical decision-making frameworks. What’s more, the number of sources differed between World Physiotherapy regions.ConclusionsMultiple factors play a role in physiotherapists’ ethical decision-making internationally. Physiotherapists’ ethical knowledge is informed by, and acquired from, several learning sources, which differ in both quality and quantity amongst World Physiotherapy regions. Easily accessible knowledge and education about professional codes of ethics and ethical decision-making can foster continuing professional development for physiotherapists. The establishment of constructive ethical cultures in workplaces can improve ethical decision-making, and should acknowledge the influence of individual, organisational, situational and societal factors. The establishment of collaborative learning environments can support knowledge translation which acknowledges practice-based methods of knowing and learning.

Ethical and cultural competence of social- and health care educators from educational institutions - Cross-sectional study.

The international mobility has increased cultural diversity in social- and health care. As such, ethical and cultural competence is an essential skill among educators. They are promoting the ethical and cultural competence and professional growth of students with diverse backgrounds and, therefore, must be ethically and culturally competent. The aim of the study was to identify distinct ethical and cultural competence profiles of social- and health care educators and explore the associated factors. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used to collect quantitative observational data in 2020-2021. Competence profiles were identified by K-means clustering based on answers to an instrument focussing on educators' ethical and cultural competence. Participants (N=1179, n=243) were social- and health care educators based at 10 universities of applied sciences and 10 vocational colleges in Finland. The research adhered to good scientific practice. A research permit was received from each educational institution that participated in the study. The privacy of the participants was protected throughout the study. The analysis identified three profiles of educators (A, B, C) based on self-assessed ethical and cultural competence. Profile A educators demonstrated high scores across all three competence areas. Profile B educators had high scores for ethical knowledge and intermediate scores for other competence areas. Profile C educators demonstrated intermediate scores across all three competence areas. An educator's pedagogical education was found to significantly influence which profile they belonged to. The educators generally evaluated their ethical and cultural competence highly. Educators understand the importance of professional ethics in their work, but they need additional support in developing ethics skills in their daily work. Among all educators, there is a need for developing international and culturally diverse collaboration.

Environmental Ethics From Perspective Of The Quran And Sunnah

– Environmental ethics is a knowledge of ethics that is based on an ethical approach and used to respond to various environmental crises caused by human behavior. This article refers to verses of the Quran and hadiths as the basis of spiritual and environmental ethics values ​​on human interaction with the environment. It elaborates on verses and prophetic traditions that are relevant for obtaining full inspiration of concepts through interpretations and thematic hadiths. It is achieved by reading the full text without separating the context, after identifying the verses of the Quran and hadiths explored based on the context. The religion established by the Whites’ has been accused as one of the causes of environmental damage. However, despite igniting the reaction of religious refusal, it also encourages the reflection on critical theology and methods of reading sacred texts. In principle, Islam teaches environmental ethics integrated into the concepts of tawhîd, khilâfah, amanah, and akhîrah based on Quran and hadith.

Technological pedagogical content ethical knowledge (TPCEK): The development of an assessment instrument for pre-service teachers

Although a variety of studies have explored the framework of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), these studies did not incorporate (1) what ethical issues have arisen from the application of digital technologies in teaching, and (2) what kind of knowledge teachers need to face these issues. These questions remain largely unanswered in existing research. This study proposes a newly developed conceptual framework called Technological Pedagogical Content Ethical Knowledge (TPCEK) that introduces ethical knowledge as a new component based on the TPACK framework. A quantitative study was conducted to develop and validate an assessment instrument for Chinese pre-service teachers based on the TPCEK framework. Both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to test the validity and reliability of the measures. Our results indicated that the final version of the TPCEK scale is a reliable and valid one for measuring pre-service teachers’ TPCEK. These insights allow us to understand the importance of ethical knowledge for teaching with digital technologies and the relationships between ethical knowledge and knowledge components of the TPACK framework.

Temporal learning analytics to explore traces of self-regulated learning behaviors and their associations with learning performance, cognitive load, and student engagement in an asynchronous online course.

Self-regulated learning (SRL) plays a critical role in asynchronous online courses. In recent years, attention has been focused on identifying student subgroups with different patterns of online SRL behaviors and comparing their learning performance. However, there is limited research leveraging traces of SRL behaviors to detect student subgroups and examine the subgroup differences in cognitive load and student engagement. The current study tracked the engagement of 101 graduate students with SRL-enabling tools integrated into an asynchronous online course. According to the recorded SRL behaviors, this study identified two distinct student subgroups, using sequence analysis and cluster analysis: high SRL (H-SRL) and low SRL (L-SRL) groups. The H-SRL group showed lower extraneous cognitive load and higher learning performance, germane cognitive load, and cognitive engagement than the L-SRL group did. Additionally, this study articulated and compared temporal patterns of online SRL behaviors between the student subgroups combining lag sequential analysis and epistemic network analysis. The results revealed that both groups followed three phases of self-regulation but performed off-task behaviors. Additionally, the H-SRL group preferred activating mastery learning goals to improve ethical knowledge, whereas the L-SRL group preferred choosing performance-avoidance learning goals to pass the unit tests. The H-SRL group invested more in time management and notetaking, whereas the L-SRL group engaged more in surface learning approaches. This study offers researchers both theoretical and methodological insights. Additionally, our research findings help inform practitioners about how to design and deploy personalized SRL interventions in asynchronous online courses.

PEMBINAAN HUKUM DAN ETIKA DALAM BERKOMUNIKASI PADA REMAJA DI PERUMAHAN BUKIT PERMATA KECAMATAN SAGULUNG KOTA BATAM

Communication is a process of conveying messages from a communicator to a communicant. Communication has elements including communicators, news, media, communicants, and feedback. All of these elements will be interrelated with one another. The rules in the communication process can also be referred to as law and ethics in communication. Sometimes we are a part of the elements of communications that do not understand the law and ethics in communications. The study of law and ethics in communication is not only related to mass media, such as social media, etc. But in communicating directly there are also laws and ethics in communications. In several cases related to laws and ethics in communication, in these cases affecting mothers and teenagers, due to a lack of understanding and knowledge in communication ethics, sometimes they are trapped in the realm of law which will ensnare them in dealing with applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, guidance related to law and ethics in communicating, both direct and through the media, is significant and must always be carried out. So that a sense of comfort and peace is created and no one is harmed in the communication process. This legal and communication ethics coaching will be doing for five times, as stated in the schedule. Training is carried out simultaneously by the coaching team and members.

Knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) as a metric to re-conceptualise aptitude: a multi-stakeholder perspective

ABSTRACT Aptitude is a hypernym used in training and practice-based contexts to refer to a person’s natural or acquired ability to do something. It tends to be an attribute that is ‘forward-looking’, i.e. referring to a person’s probability of achieving success in the future. This paper adopts a retrospective perspective in looking at the ‘success achievement’ of (would-be) interpreters and employs the term knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs). The research questions that this paper addresses relate to frequency of KSAs referred to across four ‘stakeholder areas’ relevant to interpreter performance: studies from pedagogues on training and (pre-qualification) testing; testing/credentialing authorities; industry-based organisations; and trainee and practising interpreters themselves. Comparison across the four stakeholder areas shows that the training and testing, and credentialing stakeholder areas most frequently identify linguistic and transfer-based KSAs, with moderate attention afforded to intercultural skills, discourse analysis skills, social interactional skills and knowledge bases across different thematic areas, and demonstration of knowledge of ethics. The industry-based stakeholder area records high levels of frequency for KSAs to do with research, terminology, business, self-assessment and ICT skills, alongside linguistic, and interactional KSAs. Overall, however, the broadest spread of frequently identified KSAs is recorded amongst the trainee and practitioner stakeholder group.

Nurses' knowledge and related factors towards professional ethics: A cross-sectional study

This study aimed to evaluate the nurses' knowledge and related factors towards professional ethics. This cross-sectional study was carried out among nurses from Guilan University of Medical Sciences in Rasht, Iran. The research employed a systematic stratified random sampling method to select its samples. Data collection was conducted using a three-part instrument, consisting of questionnaires addressing demographic information. Moreover, the tool gauged participants' knowledge of professional ethics and their adherence to these principles. A total of 354 nurses participated in the present study. The nurses had an average age of 34.7 (SD=8.1) years. The average score of knowledge of professional ethics in nurses was 89.14 (SD=15.3) and the average score of compliance with ethical aspects was 105.20 (SD=56.16). Also, 92.4% of the research samples had good ethical knowledge. In terms of the status of compliance with aspects of professional ethics, 83.9% of the research samples had favorable compliance status. Also, the average score of knowledge of professional ethics and compliance with ethical aspects in nurses had a positive and significant correlation with each other (r=0.424, P=0.001). Therefore, while underscoring the significance of educational interventions aimed at enhancing the knowledge base of practicing nurses, there is potential to strategize actions aimed at advancing both the knowledge level and ethical compliance within the nursing realm. These efforts can play a pivotal role in averting moral dilemmas and conflicts experienced by nurses.

Structured Ethics Education in Speech-Language Pathology Graduate Students

This investigation compared the effect of ethics training embedded within a curriculum to structured ethics training regarding the ethics knowledge and self-reported comfort levels of first-year graduate students in speech-language pathology. Two equal, non-randomized groups of participants completed an ethics test and survey at three different times over the course of the investigation. The test and survey were administered prior to and after structured ethics training and ethics training embedded within the curriculum. The results of this study showed a significant difference in ethics knowledge after completion of the structured ethics training module for both groups. After receiving structured ethics training, there was no difference between groups regarding comfort in identifying and solving ethics problems. These findings add to the literature regarding the need for structured ethics training for graduate students in healthcare professions. Structured ethics training in speech-language pathology graduate students increased the knowledge of ethical foundations and decision-making models prior to clinical practice in the field.

Factors affecting consumers’ perception and willingness to pay for Fairtrade bananas during a cost-of-living crisis

The study set out to investigate factors affecting consumers’ ethical perception and willingness to pay for Fairtrade bananas during the cost-of-living crisis in the UK. A survey was distributed via social media resulting in 357 valid responses which were analyzed using IBM-SPSS-28. The main influencing factors on consumers’ perception of Fairtrade are still strong ethical beliefs towards socio-economic benefits to farmers followed by cost, convenience and quality. No demographic factors significantly influenced purchase behaviour. A framework representing the factors influencing consumers was proposed. During a cost-of-living crisis, despite some consumers’ price sensitivity, they are still willing to purchase and pay more for Fairtrade bananas. Ethical knowledge and personal values sustain the purchase of ethically produced bananas. However, consumption would remain strong provided the price premium paid is not substantially high. When targeting consumers, the focus on overall awareness of Fairtrade and its values should be the key features in promotion campaigns.
