Nursing Diagnosis &
Midwifery
Statement of the Problem:
Nurses today face many ethical dilemmas. In
nursing education programs, it is necessary to develop students' ethical
decision making skills. This study was conducted to determine the ethics in
the curriculum of undergraduate nursing programs in Turkey.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation:
Research includes 124 undergraduate
nursing education programs inTurkey. Web pages of universities were searched
to obtain data. The content of the course in which the ethical issues are handled
is compared with the content of “National Nursing Core Curriculum”.
Findings:
The course related to ethics is called "Nursing history and deontology"
and "Ethics in nursing" with the highest rate. The students have started clinical
practice before ethics course. Lecture and case analysis were frequently used
teaching methods. Course content includes shortcomings when compared to
National Nursing Core Curriculum.
Conclusion&Significance:
It is proposed that the curriculumshould be updated
to ensure that the theoretical knowledge is transferred to the clinical practice
in order for the students to develop their ethical decision making skills.
