“…Based on previous studies, there were high error rates during the prescription, administration, dispensing, and transcription processes (Aqyemanq & While, ; Björkstén, Bergqvist, Andersén‐Karlsson, Beson, & Ulfvarson, ). Nurses' competences in medication care had a significant effect on avoiding errors (Rodhe & Domm, ). In hospital care, different medication care robots were the unit that were most frequently used and took the last time to develop (Mandrack et al, ).…”

Background Future nursing shortages and advanced technological developments mean that robots and automated devices could play a valuable role in nursing, but little has been published on their use, and outcomes, to date. Aim This integrative review identified how robots are currently used in nursing and the outcomes of those initiatives. Design This study used integrative review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses. Data sources We searched the CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for peer‐reviewed papers published in English from January 2010 to August 2018. Review methods The five‐stage review process by Whittemore and Knafl was used. Results The 25 included papers showed that robots and automated devices were mainly used in nursing to deliver medication, monitor patients, and provide nursing treatments. The outcomes were evaluated in relation to patient safety, working time and workload, usability, and the end users' satisfaction. In addition, the costs, care outcomes, nurses' behaviour, and changes in working procedures were considered. Conclusions Robots and automated devices have the potential to develop nurses' work, but more research and critical evaluations are needed to find the most suitable devices and focus on the functions that will provide the best outcomes for nurses' work.

“…In using precise concepts, guidelines may better support clinical practice. For example, reflective thinking activities are usually not described in standards and protocols, despite being potentially very effective in catching errors 18. Interestingly, White et al reported that integrating a question designed to trigger critical thinking in a checklist of a checking procedure did not improve the identification of clinical decision errors in their study.…”

“…The nurse identifies the error by using own knowledge. Plausibility reviews are common in healthcare, at least implicitly, and are often executed without being part of standard protocols or written-down procedures 18…”

“…Thus, distinguishing plausibility reviews from checking is very important to design adequate medication safety processes, for example, in defining different points in time or locations. Creating space and points in time in the medication process for plausibility reviews represents a powerful avenue to institutionalise reflective thinking18 as a means to catch errors.…”

Moral awareness and its relationship with moral sensitivity among Iranian nursing students: A basis for nursing ethics education

The healthcare environment is always fraught with moral issues and challenges for all members of the healthcare team, including nurses as the largest group of service providers in the healthcare system (Rasoal et al., 2017). Due to their continuous attendance to the patients at their bedside, nurses have a major effect on the quality of and patients' satisfaction with healthcare services (Rohde & Domm, 2018;Zamanzadeh et al., 2017). Adherence to ethical principles contributes to the provision of high-quality nursing care (Rahnavard et al., 2021).Commitment to ethics in healthcare constitutes the core of nursing values (Eskandari et al., 2016), and the World Health Organization (WHO, n.d.) has emphasized the significance of professional behaviour in accordance with healthcare values and ethics (Organization).Although ethics has long been closely associated with the nursing profession, it has classically received attention since the foundation of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) in 1899, such that the first ethical codes for nurses were compiled and published by ICN in 1953(Stievano & Tschudin, 2019. The American Nurses Association (ANA) considers ethical codes as part of the principles of nursing profession and mandates ethical commitment in any relationship, even with nursing students (Fowler, 2017;McCrink, 2010).
