The Determinants of Ethical Principle Implementation in Nursing
Abstract
The determinant of nursing ethics practice is not identified yet. This problem affects the ethical behavior of nurses in performing
nursing care. According to that, it was influencing satisfaction and patient well-being. This study aims to identify the determinants
of the ethical principles application in nursing. Descriptive, correlation, cross-sectional design was applied, through simple
random sampling to 120 nurses. Data collecting used questionnaires, with univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyzes. Determinants
of nursing ethic application principle were job characteristics, nurses knowledge related to nursing ethics, supervision
by supervisor, relationship with colleagues, awards, the role of head nurse, and tenure (p = <0,001-0,049). The most dominant
variable was job characteristics (p <0,001). These factors need an attention by hospital manager to keep evaluating the other factors
in order to improve the application of ethical principles in nursing.
