May 16, 2024 updated by: Bilecik Seyh Edebali Universitesi

The Effect of the Level of Ethical Attitude Towards Care on the Skills of Humanistic Acting in Intensive Care Nurses

Today, rapidly developing technology and changing treatment and care conditions increase the tendency towards ethical values both as an intellectual concept and as a moral guide. The nursing profession, which focuses on people in ethical terms, is also performed by people. This situation brings with it many ethical dilemmas in areas where health care services are provided. In ICUs, long and critical treatments of patients, differences of opinion between the medical team and the institution, non-compliance with patient rights, difficulties in terminal patient care, procedures performed without the patient's consent, distribution of limited medical resources, unethical attitudes and attitudes of nurse colleagues, Many issues such as long-term exposure to stressors and constant alarm sounds can cause mental distress and negative emotions in intensive care nurses. One of the effective ways to increase the quality of care provided by nurses is humanistic practice ability. The presence of humanistic practice ability provides more realistic, human-centered nursing care, improves the quality of life of patients, and also positively affects health expenditures.

Detailed Description

One of the effective ways to increase the quality of care provided by nurses is humanistic practice ability. The presence of humanistic practice ability provides more realistic, human-centered nursing care, improves the quality of life of patients, and also positively affects health expenditures. The humanist approach is increasing its importance day by day in planning individual care, evaluating the outcomes of care practices, and health-promoting information programs. In this context, it is of great importance to develop the humanist practice skills, humanist nursing spirit, humanist clinical practices and humanist nursing education of nurses who are actively involved in ICUs, as in all areas of care practice. In developing nurses' humanistic nursing behaviors, their level of knowledge and behavioral skills should first be revealed.

When the literature was examined, it was seen that there were studies examining the extent to which nurses experienced ethical problems and dilemmas during caregiving, their attitudes, and ethical decision-making processes. While studies on nurses' ethical decision-making processes are important, it is thought that studies measuring their level of humanistic behavior will also contribute to nursing care. This research aims to show the effect of intensive care nurses' ethical attitude levels on their ability to act humanistically. The research is original in that it combines ethical attitudes and humanistic behavior. It is anticipated that the research will contribute to nursing care and the knowledge base of the nursing profession.
