Darr (2006) believed virtue ethics was beneficial to health care leaders and could guide decision‐making and actions. He believed individuals could increase in virtuousness and listed several virtues and character strengths appropriate for health care leaders.…”

Aim To summarize and evaluate the nursing virtue ethics literature, examine how virtue ethics has been applied to health care teams, offer a new framework to guide understanding and development of virtuous health care teams and offer recommendations to nurse leaders. Background With the unprecedented levels of incivility and turnover in the post‐COVID‐19 world, virtue ethics may provide an innovative approach for nursing leaders working to rebuild healthy practice environments. Evaluation An integrative review yielded articles from eight databases using PRISMA guidelines. Level of evidence and quality were assessed using the Johns Hopkins tools. Key Issues Virtue ethics has been of interest to the health care community predominantly as a concept. Most articles focused on debating whether virtue ethics belongs in nursing. Virtue ethics offers a creative strategy for leaders to attract and retain nurses. Conclusion There is a dearth of research on virtue ethics and nursing. One study empirically uncovered and validated a framework for virtue ethics in health care teams. Implications for Nursing Management To rebuild strong health care teams, nurse leaders can model virtue ethics using an empirically derived framework while coaching their teams to do the same. Doing so holds the promise of reengaging staff and rebuilding healthy practice environments.

“…Por ejemplo, ¿qué importancia tiene para el profesional ser irresponsable, perezoso, desconsiderado, duro e intolerante, deshonesto, egoísta, mercenario, indiscreto, arrogante, antipático, frío, imprudente, pusilánime, débil, presuntuoso, grosero, hipócrita, egoísta, materialista, calculador, vengativo, ingrato? 15 También en esta discusión nuestra posición nos parece más fértil, dado que el enfoque positivo aporta más información: saber qué es lo que no se debe hacer es mucho menos útil que saber qué es lo que sí sería adecuado.…”

Resumen Objetivo: Conocer las virtudes profesionales más valoradas por los pacientes y su importancia respecto a las habilidades técnicas. Método: Estudio cuantitativo, tipo descriptivo, mediante el empleo de encuestas. El estudio se ha realizado en pacientes paliativos del Hospital Centro de Cuidados Laguna. Resultados: Muestra de 42 pacientes. Entre las 10 prestaciones que escogió el paciente, 6 fueron virtudes del profesional sanitario. Las 5 prestaciones más valoradas fueron las siguientes: alegría (61,9%), respeto (57,1%), control del dolor (52,4%), ayuda ante la sensación del paciente de encontrarse mal (47,6%) y la sinceridad (47,3%). Con respecto a la prioridad concedida a los 10 ítems elegidos por cada paciente, las primeras posiciones las ocuparon el control del dolor (85%), la alegría (72%), la ayuda ante la sensación del paciente de encontrarse mal (67%), el respeto (58%), la asistencia ante el desánimo (54%) y la sinceridad (51%). Conclusiones: Los pacientes de Cuidados Paliativos valoran las virtudes por encima de las habilidades técnicas en los profesionales que les atienden. De entre todas las virtudes, la más valorada fue la alegría, que es precisamente aquella que exige mayor compromiso existencial de entre todas. Sin embargo, para confirmar la conclusión de este estudio piloto y dado que la muestra aquí manejada es pequeña se hace necesario planear una investigación que evalúe a un mayor número de pacientes

“…While world healthcare provides many opportunities for discourse and debate due to religious norms, cultural attitudes and societal views, a search for an ethical platform has emerged that involves virtue-based ethics. The resulting starting point becomes what makes a person good rather than providing rules from which to act, and has proven to be an innovative approach to world healthcare issues [6]. As such, virtuebased healthcare decision-making is gaining acceptance since it provides the appropriate level of overlap among cultures and societies.…”

A Return to Objective Ethics in Business Education: A Faith Based Argument for Plato’s Virtue Ethics

Business ethics is an idea that many students and practitioners believe cannot exist together, often the result of religious underpinnings and philosophical debates deemed too "soft". It is our belief, however, that business ethics is quite relevant given the current landscape and that a new model should be introduced immediately to all business schools that hope to produce future business leaders, not just business people. This model implements proven neurological traits inherent to all people into widely accepted virtue-based ethical teaching of the world's major religions, and by doing so, a new framework for teaching what was once an awkward discipline into an interactive, highly-applicable theory.
