Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate relation between ethnocentrism, professional attitudes and moral sensitivity of midwives and nurses working in Turkey using linear regression model.

Method: A descriptive and cross-sectional and correlational study was adopted. Data were collected online between 20/10/2023-25/12/2023. The study was completed with total of 400 nurses and midwives. Data were collected through a personal information form, the Generalised Ethnocentrism Scale (GENE), the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ) and Inventory of Professional Attitude at Occupation (IPAO).

Results: Nurses' and midwives' ethnocentric attitudes were high and their professional and moral sensitivity was moderate. A negative and statistically significant relationship was found between GENE and MSQ (r=-0.150 and p<0.05). Moreover, it is concluded that ethnocentrism and professional attitudes have a negative effect on the moral sensitivity of nurses and midwives.

Conclusions: Based on these results, interventions aimed at improving the ethnocentric and professional attitudes of nurses and midwives will also contribute to improve their moral sensitivity.

种族中心主义和职业态度对助产士和护士道德敏感性的影响：基于网络的横断面和相关性研究。

目的：采用线性回归模型探讨土耳其助产士和护士的种族中心主义、职业态度和道德敏感性之间的关系。方法：采用描述性、横断面、相关性研究。数据于2023年10月20日至2023年12月25日在线收集。这项研究共有400名护士和助产士完成。通过个人信息表、广义种族中心主义量表（GENE）、道德敏感性问卷（MSQ）和职业职业态度量表（IPAO）收集数据。结果：护士和助产士的种族中心主义态度较高，职业和道德敏感性中等。基因与MSQ呈负相关，且有统计学意义（r = -0.150， P）。结论：基于这些结果，旨在改善护士和助产士的种族中心主义和职业态度的干预措施也有助于提高其道德敏感性。
