Abstract

Nursing is one of the most crucial foundations of any country's healthcare system. Nurses spend most of their time at the bedside of their patients, exposing them to a wide range of situations and, as a result, are constantly faced with ethical dilemmas. The present study aims to investigate the ability of ethical thinking and the characteristics that help nurses maintain their professional ethics. This is cross-sectional descriptive research.in Alborz University of Medical Sciences (281) hospitals in 2018. The Chrisham ethical reasoning questionnaire and Kohlberg facilitators were used to collect data. SPSS software version 20 and descriptive and analytical tests were used to evaluate the data. The mean score for nurses' ethical reasoning was 49.17, Emphasizing the staff skills during the division of labor in the managerial dimension, positive attitude of nurses toward professional ethics standards in the individual dimension, positive attitude of nurses towards the standards of professional ethics in the individual dimension, and patients' familiarity with time and the way to provide nursing services in the patient dimension have the highest score. The findings also revealed that the two variables of moral thinking and elements promoting professional ethics in nurses had no significant association.
