Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: In this study, it is aimed to determine the moral sensitivity levels of all nursing and midwifery students who are studying in first and fourth grade students in a faculty of health sciences at Kocaeli University. Methods: This study is a descriptive study. The research population was composed of students studying in the first and fourth year of midwifery and nursing at Kocaeli University. 'Sociodemographic characteristics of the students' developed by researchers, the scala developed by Kim Lutzen and adapted by Rhonda W. Comrie's for nursing students, Turkish validity and reliability was done in 2015 by Yılmaz Şahin et al. “ The moral sensitivity scale” was used. The data obtained from the application were evaluated in the SPSS 20 program. Results: The average value of the moral sensitivity scale was found to be 4.75, indicating that they were neither ethically sensitive nor insensitive. While the score of orientation of women was higher than that of men, the score of ethical dilemma was higher in males than females. The interpersonal orientation score of the midwifery senior students was found lower than the nursing senior students. In the first grade, nursing students experienced more ethical dilemmas and were found helpful. Conclusion: The neutrality of the students' moral sensitivity score suggests the possibility of not being aware of the ethical dilemmas. For this reason, the ethical dilemma during their training should be made more aware of their decision-making mechanisms, roles and responsibilities when compared with ethical dilemmas.
