Ethics, agency and empowerment in nurse education.

Abstract:

:The ethical demands of professional nursing practice are considered, and the concept of Agency is offered as a potentially useful part of the nurses conceptual equipment for such practice. The pressures of working in large organisations are suggested to be inimical to a sense of Agency, and it is also suggested that some of the academic disciplines involved in nurse education are offering an ambiguous view of the issue of Agency. The discipline of Ethics, while also ambiguous on this issue, is presented as offering useful ways of exploring that ambiguity. Several theories of Ethics are considered in relation to human freedom and responsibility, and the issue between determinism and free will is likewise considered. It is suggested that these offer ways of helping the individual to explore and develop their own stance on freedom and responsibility, and thereby on the issue of Agency. This discussion is related to the United Kingdom Central Council (UKCC) Code of Professional Conduct, and the paradox of choice is acknowledged.
