Background and AimIt is essential that healthcare providers display ethical behavior toward their patients. Despite development of codes of ethics for clinical practice, the occurrence of unethical behaviors toward patients is alarmingly high. The present study was conducted to identify the barriers to ethical treatment of patients in clinical environments.MethodsThrough systematic narrative review, the present study investigated the barriers to ethical treatment of patients. This study was carried out in line with Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews 2 and Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines.ResultsEthical challenges in clinical environments can be classified into two categories: “organizational factors” and “personal factors.” Organizational factors consist of three domains: managers and regulations, organizational environment, and human resources. Personal factors consist of two domains: factors related to patients and their families and factors related to care providers.ConclusionResearch shows that encouraging healthcare teams to adopt ethical behaviors through education and having them persistently observe ethics in their clinical practice will not completely bridge the gap between theory and practice: it seems that the clinical environment, the personal characteristics of healthcare team members and patients, and the organizational values of the healthcare system pose the greatest barrier to bridging this gap. Accordingly, in addition to raising healthcare providers’ awareness of the existing issues in clinical ethics, measures should be taken to improve organizational culture and atmosphere.

“…Fidelity may be interpreted as professionalism and maintenance of the physician-patient relationship. This is not specific to surgery but may include special circumstances such as the interaction between colleagues in operating theatres where unethical behaviour can have serious consequences, especially for patient safety [40].…”

Purpose of Review To consider ethical aspects of rhinologic surgery including surgical and medical treatment options, new technologies and techniques, informed consent and patient choice. Recent Findings The ethical principles of autonomy, justice, beneficence, non-maleficence and fidelity are fundamental to the practice of medicine as well as to the clinical research that informs new treatment options. Here, they are discussed in the context of treatment of benign rhinologic disease. Summary Surgeons are ethically bound to act in the best interests of the patient, informing and involving them in the clinical decisions and avoiding harm. This requires full and honest discussion with patients about the available treatment options, their potential benefits and risks and cost-effectiveness of newer techniques and technologies.

Objective Operating room nurses, as essential members of health care teams, often face ethical challenges in the operating room. By using the ethical experiences of operating room nurses, a better understanding of ethics in the operating room can be achieved, which can lead to better nursing decisions in the face of these challenges. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate operating room nurses’ lived experiences of ethical codes. Methods A hermeneutic phenomenological study was performed in Hamadan (Iran) from February 2019 to November 2020. Ten operating room nurses were selected as participants by purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was performed based on Van Manen methodology. Results Data analysis revealed three main themes and 11 sub-themes representing the operating room nurses experience of the ethical code. The main themes were; adherence to professional commitments, preserving patient dignity, and respect to colleagues. Conclusion The results underlined ethics and ethical values in the operating room. Due to the intense interactions between operating room nurses with the patient and surgical team, commitment to ethics by nurses can lead to improving quality of care and interactions among members of the surgical team. It is suggested that using these codes as a guideline and a framework could be developed to improve the ethical and professional performance of operating room nurses.
