The Ethical Disposition, Professional Self-Concept, and CPR Attitude of Nursing Students Effects on Bio-medical Ethics

Purpose : The purpose of this study is a descriptive study to identify the factors that influence nursing students’ ethical disposition, professional self-concept, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation attitude on bio-medical ethics. Method : This study identifies the factors that affect bio-medical ethics by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire from 257 students participating in bio-medical ethics education from December 15, 2019 to January 15, 2020. Results : The subjects’ ethical disposition were 42.21±5.18 for idealism and 38.91±5.96 for relativism. The average professional self-concept was 3.72±0.43, and the CPR attitude was 3.83±0.47. The overall average of bio-medical ethics was 3.17±0.44. The relationship between idealism (r＝.54), relativism (r＝.28), professional self-concept (r＝.39), CPR attitude (r＝.26), and bio-medical ethics of nursing students showed a statistically significant positive correlation. The significant predictors of bio-medical ethics were idealism (β＝.04) and professional self-concept (β＝.18). Conclusion : Based on the research results, the development of various types of educational programs that can improve bio-medical ethics capabilities should be developed. First, comprehensive education on ethical principles and concepts should be provided in ethical decision-making situations. Second, educational content that can foster professional self-concept and idealistic ethical disposition should be included to understand ethical beliefs. It is necessary to apply educational programs, such as simulation, discussion, and problem-solving teaching and learning methods, so nursing students can actively participate in and judge bio-medical ethics situations.
