Abstract

This study is a descriptive research study to identify differences in awareness and practice of emerging infectious diseases, ethical awareness, ethical decision-making, and the effect on ethical decision-making among nurses and nursing students. 179 data were collected for nursing students and nurses in K city from August 20 to September 10, 2020. As a result of the study, there was a statistically significant difference between nursing students and nurses only in decision-making related to the principle of justice among ethical decision-making, and it was found that ethical education experience (𝛽=0.18, p=.013) influenced ethical decision-making. Based on the research results, it is suggested to develop a simulation-centered convergent ethics education program to improve ethical decision-making and provide regular education.

본 연구는 간호사와 간호대학생의 신종 감염병에 대한 인식 및 실천, 윤리인식, 윤리적 의사결정 차이와 윤리적 의사결정에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구 대상은 K시의 간호대학생과 간호사 179명이며 자료는 2020년 8월 20일부터 9월 10일까지 수집되었다. 연구결과, 윤리적 의사결정 중 정의원칙과 관련된 의사결정에서만 간호대학생과 간호사 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며 윤리적 의사결정에 윤리교육 경험(𝛽=0.18, p=.013)이 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 토대로 윤리적 의사결정 향상을 위한 시뮬레이션 중심의 융합적 윤리교육 프로그램을 개발하여 주기적으로 교육할 것을 제안한다.
