Abstract:
Objective To observe the levels of ethical decision-making ability and emotion control, so as to explore the correlation between them. Methods A total of 280 clinical nurses were selected from Qingdao Cancer Hospital by convenience sampling method in April 2017. Judgment About Nursing Decision (JAND) Scale and the Courtauld Emotion Control Scale (CECS) were applied to assess nurses' nursing ethical decision-making and emotion control level. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of nursing ethical decision-making ability of clinical nurses. Results In this study, the JAND score was (264.66±14.57), at a moderate level; CECS score was (49.93±16.52), at an upper level. Pearson correlation analysis showed that JAND and CECS were negatively correlated (r=-0.185, P＜ 0.01). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in nursing ethical decision-making ability among clinical nurses with different nursing age, educational background, professional title, employment style and relevant training (χ2=36.419, 66.901, 74.415, 27.053, 89.464; P＜ 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed nursing age, profession title and relevant training were influencing factors for ethical decision-making ability in clinical nurses (P＜ 0.01). Conclusions The levels of ethical decision-making ability and emotion control in clinical nurses need to be improved. The nurses with longer nursing age, higher profession title and who have received relevant training, have stronger ethical decision-making ability.
