“…In a study conducted in Iran during COVID-19, a positive correlation was found between nurses’ ethical sensitivity and care behavior [ 4 ]. In a study conducted in South Korea, it was emphasized that the strongest determinant of person-centered care was ethical sensitivity [ 39 ]. Moral sensitivity is an important component that improves the quality of care for patients with COVID-19 [ 23 – 38 ].…”

Background Increasing compliance with isolation precautions is important in reducing hospital-acquired infections and their consequences. It is not possible to achieve and maintain nurse compliance through supervision, control, pressure, or training. Therefore, nurses must personally demand compliance with isolation precautions. This study aimed to determine the relationship between compliance with isolation precautions and the moral sensitivity levels of nurses who have just started working. Methods This study employed a descriptive and cross-sectional research design. The study population consisted of 456 new nurses recruited during the pandemic. All of the new nurses who volunteered to participate in the study and completed the questionnaires completely were included in the study and 398 nurses constituted the sample of the study. Data were collected from 398 out of 456 novice nurses who agreed to participate in the study. The population coverage rate was 87.28%. Participants were selected using convenience sampling method. The data collection tools included an Introductory Information Form, The Isolation Compliance Precautions Scale (TIPCS), and the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ). Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and regression models were used to analyze data. Findings The mean score of the MSQ was high (mean ± SD = 90.49 ± 25.94; median (P25-P75) = 84 (range, 74–97), and the score for TIPCS was high (mean ± SD = 79.29 ± 7.68; median (P25-P75) = 82 (range, 76–85)). No correlation was found between MSQ and TIPCS (p > 0.05). According to the regression analysis, although the MSQ did not correlate with TIPCS, compliance with isolation measures was found to increase as the conflict subscale of moral sensitivity increased (β= -0.36, CI= -0.55 to -0.16; p < 0.001). Choosing the profession willingly had a positive correlation with compliance with isolation measures (β = 5.3, CI = 2.4 to 8.3; p < 0.001). In addition, starting the profession at an early age had a positive correlation with compliance with isolation measures (β= -0.49, CI= -0.8 to -0.17; p = 0.002). Conclusion The conflict sub-dimension of moral sensitivity is an important factor in nurses’ compliance with isolation measures, and conducting necessary training and other studies to improve nurses’ moral sensitivity may increase their compliance with isolation measures.

“…12,[15][16][17] In one study, moral sensitivity was found to be the strongest determinant of individualized care. 18 Moral sensitivity affects quality positively of patient care, but when nurses experience a moral conflict, the quality of patient care decreases. 19,20 Care is a concept based on mutual relationship and trust and has a moral dimension.…”

ABS TRACT Patient privacy and moral sensitivity are two important variables in nursing care settings. This research was conducted as a descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study to determine the relationship between nurses' ethical sensitivity and patient privacy. The research was completed with 304 nurses at a public university hospital in İstanbul between April-June 2023. Nurse Information Form, Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ), Patient Privacy Scale (PPS) were used to collect the data. Data were evaluated at 95% confidence interval with significance at p<0.05. All statistical calculations were performed with SPSS software version 26. The structural equation model was created using AMOS 24 package program. In this study, the mean total score of the MSQ was 83.1±22.2 and the mean total score of the PPS was 4.51±0.49. No difference was found between the level of moral sensitivity and observance of patient privacy according to the sociodemographic characteristics of the nurses. It was determined that nurses' observance of patient privacy increased with increasing moral sensitivity level. In the structural equation model, it was determined that the level of moral sensitivity of nurses was an effective factor in ensuring patient privacy (β2=-0.407, p<0.001, t=-6.246). As a result, based on these findings, it was determined that the level of moral sensitivity of nurses was a factor in ensuring patient privacy.

Background By incorporating socio-cognitive mindfulness which has been under-examined in the nursing field, this study investigated the relationships between socio-cognitive mindfulness, moral sensitivity, dementia communication behaviors, and dementia nursing performance of nurses in long-term care hospitals. This study also examined the factors influencing nurses’ dementia nursing performance. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 209 nurses from long-term care hospitals in Korea. Data were collected between August 1 and August 31, 2022. Participants completed the questionnaire assessing their socio-cognitive mindfulness, moral sensitivity, dementia communication behaviors, and dementia nursing performance. Pearson’s correlation and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were performed for data analysis. Results Dementia nursing performance of the nurses in long-term care hospitals was positively related to their socio-cognitive mindfulness, moral sensitivity, and dementia communication behaviors. Furthermore, nurses’ dementia communication behaviors, moral sensitivity, and total clinical career, in that order, were found to be the factors influencing their dementia nursing performance. Conclusion The findings indicate that the higher socio-cognitive mindfulness, moral sensitivity, and dementia communication behaviors, the higher dementia nursing performance, and that higher dementia nursing performance is associated with better dementia communication behaviors, greater moral sensitivity, and more extensive clinical experiences. This study provides a foundation for developing effective interventions to enhance dementia nursing performance in the future. To improve dementia nursing performance of nurses in long-term care hospitals, it is necessary to improve dementia communication behaviors and moral sensitivity, and prepare multilateral countermeasures to maintain nurses’ clinical careers.
