Ethics in nursing: A systematic review of the framework of evidence perspective.

Abstract:

AIM:To determine the current state of knowledge on nursing and ethics and to assess the knowledge and experience based on the evidence in this regard. BACKGROUND:Although ethics is at the center of the nursing profession and the ethical issues affecting nurses are given much importance, few studies have focused on professional ethics in nursing. In this respect, ethics has become a concept that contains controversial and ambiguous situations. DESIGN:The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guide, a basic search algorithm, was taken. DATA SOURCES:Cochrane, PubMed, CINAHL Complete, PsycINFO, and ULAKBIM from 2012 to 2016. REVIEW METHODS:Following a systematic search strategy, all papers were assessed in relation to inclusion criteria and type of study. When sufficient information was not available in the title and summary of the works, the necessary data were evaluated in full texts. RESULTS:This review was completed with 27 articles meeting the research criteria. The evaluation identified six themes: (1) ethics and nursing, (2) ethical difficulties/ethical dilemmas and nursing, (3) ethical competence and nursing, (4) professional ethics and nursing, (5) ethics, education, and nursing, and (6) ethics in health research. CONCLUSION:As a result of the review, a synthesis of high evidence-level research relating to nursing ethics was obtained. The emphasis was on the importance of further research and education so that the ethical aspects of nursing can be better understood throughout the studies. Nursing researchers' level of evidence on ethics and their orientation to high research design will shed light on uncertain and controversial aspects of the subject. ETHICAL CONSIDERATION:Since this was a systematic review, no ethical approval was required. There is no conflict of interest in this literature review.
