“…For measuring ethical competence, four different instruments were identified. The instruments measuring nurses’ ethical competence were Moral Competence Scale for Home Care Nurses (MCSHCN) (Asahara et al, ), Moral Competence Questionnaire for Public Health Nurses (MCQ‐PHN) (Asahara et al, ), and Moral Competence Scale (MCS) (Jormsri et al, ). Item and explorative factor analysis (EF) for MCSHCN revealed 45 items loading on five factors.…”

“…This three‐factor model also showed reasonable fit to the data by CF. Cronbach's alphas for MCQ‐PHN ranged from 0.78 to 0.93 (Asahara et al, .). MCS was derived from nursing values based on Thai culture and it included 108 items presented in five scenarios.…”

“…Majority of the studies used a multisite setting containing different clinical areas or healthcare contexts ( N = 8) (Cusveller, ; Cusveller & Schep‐Akkerman, ; Falkenström, Ohlsson, & Höglund, ; Höglund, Eriksson, & Helgesson, ; Jormsri, Kunaviktikul, Chaowalit, & Ketefian, ; Poikkeus, Numminen, Suhonen, & Leino‐Kilpi, ; Poikkeus, Suhonen, Katajisto, & Leino‐Kilpi, ; Schaefer & Vieira, ). One‐site settings included public health ( N = 1) (Asahara, Kobayashi, & Ono, ), home care ( N = 1) (Asahara et al, ), psychiatric hospital ( N = 1) (Molewijk, Verkerk, Milius, & Widdershoven, ), aggressive care ( N = 1) (Peter, Mohammed, & Simmonds, ), and academic ( N = 1) (Chambers, ) settings. One study used a combination of clinical and educational settings (Barkhordari‐Sharifabad, Ashktorab, & Atashzadeh‐Shoorideh, ).…”

“…The second focus area of the studies was measuring ethical competence. The studies developed and evaluated new instruments to measure healthcare professionals’ ethical competence in terms of moral competence (Asahara et al, ; Asahara, Ono, Kobayashi, Omori, & Todome, ; Jormsri et al, ) and moral skills (Chambers, ). Measuring the level of ethical competence and perceptions of support for it have also been focal points of studies (Poikkeus et al, ; Poikkeus, Numminen, et al, ).…”

AimThe aim of this study was to examine the extent and nature of the available research literature on healthcare professionals’ ethical competence and to summarize the research findings in this field.DesignA scoping review guided by Arksey and O'Malleys methodological framework was conducted.MethodsSix databases including Pubmed/Medline, CINAHL, Web of Science Core Collection, PsycInfo, Philosophers’ Index, and Scopus were searched systematically. Of 1,476 nonduplicate citations, 17 matched the inclusion criteria.ResultsFindings revealed that healthcare professionals’ ethical competence is a limited but topical research area. The focus areas of the studies were conceptualization, measuring, and realization of the ethical competence. The studies provided varying definitions and constructions for ethical competence and a few instruments to measure ethical competence were identified. Research in this area seems to be in a transition phase from theorization to empirical measurement. Methodologically, the research was rather heterogeneous and mainly focused on nurses.

(300 words)Objectives: This paper draws on a narrative review of the literature, commissioned to support the Health Visitor Implementation Plan (DH, 2011a), and aimed at identifying messages about the knowledge, skills and abilities needed by health visitors to work within the current system of health care provision.Design: The scoping study and narrative review used three complementary approaches: a broad search, a structured search and a seminal paper search to identify empirical papers from the health visitor literature for review. The key inclusion criteria were messages of relevance for practice.Data Sources: 378 papers were reviewed. These included empirical papers from the United Kingdom (UK) from 2004 -February 2012, older research identified in the seminal paper search and international literature from 2000-January 2016.Review Methods: The review papers were read by members of the multi-disciplinary research team which included health visitor academics, social scientists and a clinical psychologist managed the international literature. Thematic content analysis was used to identify main messages. These were tabulated and shared between researchers in order to compare emergent findings and to confirm dominant themes.Results: The analysis identified an 'orientation to practice' based on salutogenesis (health creation), human valuing (person-centred care) and viewing the person in situation (human ecology) as the aspirational core of health visitors' work. This was realised through home visiting, needs assessment and relationship formation at different levels of service provision. A wide range of knowledge, skills and abilities were required, including knowledge of health as a process and skills in engagement, building trust and making professional judgments .These are currently difficult to impart within a 45 week health visitor programme and are facilitated through ad hoc post registration education and training. The international literature reported both similarities and differences between the working practices of health visitors in the UK and public health nurses worldwide. Challenges related to the education of each were identified.Conclusions: The breadth and scope of knowledge, skills and abilities required by health visitors makes a review of current educational provision desirable. Three potential models for health visitor education are described.

Aim: Clarifying the emotional labor of public health nurses while providing interpersonal support.Design: Qualitative descriptive study conducted using content analysis to clarify the aspect of emotional labor of PHNs regarding interpersonal support.Methods: Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 public health nurses employed by seven city governments in Japan. The data items obtained were categorized using deductive content analysis. Results: When attempting interpersonal support, PHNs showed the following aspects of emotional labor: (1) negative emotions towards residents and resident-focused emotions; (2) emotional rules based on duty performance, emotional rules based on fairness, emotional rules based on intimacy; (3) adaptive emotional regulation, maladaptive emotional regulations and (4) emotional expressions based on friendliness, emotional expressions based on calmness. Conclusion:PHNs used adaptive emotional regulation in some cases and sometimes resorted to maladaptive forms. A system of support should be established to ensure the smooth and effective provision of interpersonal support.
