Brief Summary

Moral Distress (MD), also known as moral distress, was first defined by Jameton in 1984 as "the distress experienced by a person in situations where it is almost impossible to follow the correct course of action due to institutional constraints, despite knowing the correct action to take." Like all health professionals, nursing students can observe conflicts, ethical dilemmas, ethical and moral problems at the individual, clinical and managerial levels during clinical practice, and can even be directly involved in these problems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MD on attitudes towards clinical practices in nursing students who have started to provide clinical experience. The study will be conducted with 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students studying in the nursing department of a university.
