Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Ethical Dilemma Test in Nursing
The Nursing Dilemma Test (NDT) was developed by Crisham (1981) and its validity and reliability in Turkish were tested by Cerit (2010). Responses to the scale are evaluated using a Likert-type scale, yielding scores for "Principle Thinking (PT)," "Practical Thinking (PT)," and "Familiarity (A)." Principle thinking reflects how much importance nurses place on ethical principles when making ethical decisions. The range of PT scores is between 18 and 66. Practical thinking measures the importance nurses give to environmental factors in ethical issues. The range of PT scores is between 6 and 36. In the familiarity section, scores between 6 and 17 indicate familiarity with a similar situation, while scores between 18 and 30 indicate unfamiliarity.
Baseline
Moral sensitivity scale
The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale developed by Lutzen et al. (2017) was developed by Tosun (2018). This scale has 30 items and six sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions are: holistic approach, implementation, autonomy, conflict, beneficence, and orientation. Participants used a seven-point rating scale next to each item, assigning a value between 1 (strongly agree) and 7 (strongly disagree). The total score ranges from 30 to 210, with the level of ethical sensitivity decreasing as the score increases.
