Abstract
Aim
The aim of this study is to explore and integrate educational measures and teaching methods designed to enhance ethical sensitivity, with the goal of developing a cohesive and practical reference framework for nursing administrators and educators.
Background
In recent years, ethical sensitivity has garnered increasing attention. While many intervention studies addressing ethical sensitivity have been conducted, there is currently no systematic review that consolidates and integrates the various intervention strategies and teaching methods.
Design
This study is a systematic review.
Method
In this systematic review, relevant studies were retrieved from the PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science databases, covering the period from the inception of these databases through December 2024. The quality of the quasi-experimental studies and randomized controlled trials were assessed the Joanna Briggs Institute's (JBI) Critical Evaluation Checklist. Finally, the findings were synthesized through qualitative analysis to identify key themes.
Results
A total of 25 studies were included in this study. Three themes were identified: theoretical foundations of ethics, clinical ethics, cultural ethics. In terms of teaching methodologies, the findings suggest that student-centered approaches are more effective than traditional teaching methods in enhancing ethical sensitivity.
Conclusion
Currently, the content of ethical sensitivity education remains fragmented. It is recommended that future curricula incorporate two additional topics: the ethics of science and technology and the ethics of public health. Furthermore, adopting a collaborative, team-based approach and integrating new teaching technologies are proposed as effective strategies to enhance ethical sensitivity.
目的本研究的目的是探索和整合旨在提高伦理敏感性的教育措施和教学方法,目的是为护理管理者和教育者提供一个有凝聚力和实用的参考框架。近年来,伦理敏感性引起了越来越多的关注。虽然已经进行了许多针对伦理敏感性的干预研究,但目前还没有系统的综述来巩固和整合各种干预策略和教学方法。本研究为系统综述。方法从PubMed、EBSCO、Cochrane、Embase、Scopus和Web of Science数据库中检索相关研究,检索时间从这些数据库建立到2024年12月。准实验研究和随机对照试验的质量通过乔安娜布里格斯研究所(JBI)关键评估清单进行评估。最后,通过定性分析对研究结果进行综合,以确定关键主题。结果本研究共纳入25项研究。确定了三个主题:伦理学的理论基础、临床伦理学、文化伦理学。在教学方法方面,以学生为中心的教学方法比传统的教学方法更能有效地提高学生的伦理敏感性。结论目前伦理敏感性教育的内容还比较分散。建议今后的课程增加两个专题:科学和技术伦理以及公共卫生伦理。此外,采用合作、团队合作的教学方法和整合新的教学技术是提高伦理敏感性的有效策略。
期刊介绍:
Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
