Abstract

|
This study was designed to compare the effects of two teaching methods, i.e., ‘Theatre of Situa-tions’ and ‘Pro-Con Debate’ on moral intelligence, moral sensitivity and moral judgment of students taking nursing ethics classes. Two-group pretest-posttest design was used. The subjects, 87 nursing students, were randomly allocated to two groups, i.e., experimental group A, ‘Theatre of Situations’ consisting 45 students and experimental group B, ‘Pro-Con Debate’ consisting 42 students. The same four nursing hypotheticals dealing with ethical issues or dilemmas were used for both groups. Each of ‘Theatre of Situations’ and ‘Pro-Con Debates’ was conducted for 150 minutes after 450 minutes of regular nursing ethics lectures. Data were collected before and after the classes to measure moral in-telligence, moral sensitivity and moral judgment of the subjects. The data were analyzed by a paired t-test using SPSS. The findings from this study are as follows: (1) in group A, moral meaning perceived by the subjects (a sub-domain of moral sensitivity) was significantly improved; (2) in group B, kind-ness and tolerance (sub-domains of moral intelligence) were significantly improved. Both methods are recommendable for enhancing nursing ethics education.
