Brief Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effect of an ethics education using role-play and digital storytelling, on nursing students' ethical behaviours to protect patient's rights and ethical sensitivity.

• Is role-playing in ethics education effective in improving students' behaviours to protect patients' rights?
• Is role-playing in ethics education effective in improving students' ethical sensitivity?
• Is digital storytelling in ethics education effective in improving students' behaviours towards protecting patients' rights?
• Is digital storytelling in ethics education effective in developing students' ethical sensitivity? The researchers will compare the mean scores of the ethical behaviours toward protecting patient rights scale and ethical sensitivity scale to see whether role-playing and digital storytelling methods in ethics education have an effect on nursing students' ethical behaviours and ethical sensitivity towards protecting patient rights.
• All groups will participate in the theoretical lectures of ethics education for a total of five weeks, three hours a week.
• The theoretical lectures will consist of examination of ethics and related concepts, ethical principles, professional values in nursing, relationship between care and ethics, ethical problems and ethical approaches.
• One week after the theoretical lecture, all groups will participate in a two-week practice phase, three hours a week.
• Each group will be divided into small groups of 6-7 people.
• The Intervention I group will conduct an ethical case analysis involving an ethical problem given to them by the researchers in the classroom environment every week and will discuss the analysis using the role-play method in the ethics committee to be formed after the session.
• Intervention II group will discuss the ethical case analyses with ethical problems written by themselves by coming together outside the classroom environment.
• Each small group of 6-7 people will present their ethical case analyses to other group members in the classroom through digital storytelling.
• The control group will continue the standard education.
