Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was done to investigate changes in nursing students¡¯ moral judgment throughout their professional education, and to identify more suitable ways to evaluate ethics education by using P (%) scores only and P (%) scores with 4th scores.
Methods: The study consisted of cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys as well as a study using a nonequivalent control group pre-post experimental design. The participants were nursing students attending a university in Gyeongju, Korea. The data were collected from September 1, 2006 to October 31, 2009 using the Korean version of the Defining Issues Test.
Results: In the cross-sectional survey, there was no significant difference in the nursing students¡¯ moral judgment scores according to their school grades. In the longitudinal survey, nursing students¡¯ moral judgment scores did not change significantly over the duration of their education. In the nonequivalent control group study, the effectiveness of nursing ethics education was identified by P (%) scores only.
Conclusion: The evidence indicates that nursing professional education does not influence the development of nursing students¡¯ moral judgment, and using P (%) scores only seems to be a better way compared to other ways to evaluate the effects of nursing ethics education.
