Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the level of moral sensitivity, critical thinking disposition and perceived ethical confidence, as well as to identify the factors influencing the perceived ethical confidence in nursing students. The study evaluated 170 nursing students in D Province from May 16-20, 2016. Data were analyzed using a t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression. The mean score of the perceived ethical confidence was $3.54({\pm}0.51)$, the moral sensitivity was $4.92({\pm}0.59)$ and the critical thinking disposition was $3.45({\pm}0.39)$. There were positive correlations between the perceived ethical confidence and moral sensitivity (r=0.410, p<0.001) and critical thinking disposition (r=0.523, p<0.001). The significant factors influencing the perceived ethical confidence were moral sensitivity and critical thinking disposition, which explained 33.2% of the variance in perceived ethical confidence. Based on these findings, programs and teaching methods that develop moral sensitivity and critical thinking disposition are necessary for college nursing students to promote perceived ethical confidence.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 도덕적 민감성, 비판적 사고성향, 윤리적 의사결정 자신감 정도를 알아보고, 간호대학생의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상은 D시 소재 간호대학생 170명으로, 자료는 2016년 5월 16일부터 5월 20일까지 자가보고식 설문지를 통해 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 21 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도, 백분율, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's 상관계수, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과, 간호대학생들의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감 정도는 5점 만점에 $3.54({\pm}0.51)$점이었으며 종교에서 유의한 차이를 보였다(t=2.309, p=0.122). 도덕적 민감도는 7만점에 4.92점(${\pm}0.59$)이었으며, 비판적 사고성향은 5점 만점에 $3.45({\pm}0.39)$점이었다. 간호대학생의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감은 도덕적 민감성(r=.410, p<0.001)과 비판적 사고성향(r=.523, p<0.001)과 유의한 순 상관관계에 있었다. 간호대학생의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감에 영향을 주는 요인은 도덕적 민감성과 비판적 사고성향 임을 확인하였고, 윤리적 의사결정 자신감에 대한 이들 변인의 설명력은 33.2%이었다. 간호대학생의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감 향상을 위해서는 도덕적 민감성과 비판적 사고성향을 향상시킬 수 있도록 다양한 교수법, 교육프로그램 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
