Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study is to determine the association between the level of commitment to ethical values and moral sensitivity of associate degree students.
Methods
This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study included 365 students enrolled in associate degree programmes at a university between October and June 2023. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire, and the Ethical Values Scale for Students Studying in Health Sciences.
Results
In this study, it was found that the ethical values and moral sensitivities of the students were high. The age, gender, mother's and father's educational level, and father's employment background of the students affected moral sensitivity. Also, age, gender, number of siblings, and mother's and father's educational level affected students' ethical values.
Conclusion
A positive and statistically significant correlation was determined between students' moral sensitivity and ethical values.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
