Abstract

Purpose: This study was to identify ethical dilemma, coping types, job satisfaction and turnover intention in order to examine nurses' ethical recognition. Methods: The subjects were 1,225 registered nurses who were working in 111 general hospitals with more than 300 beds in Korea. The data were collected from August 15 to September 15, 2010 by using the self-reported questionnaires. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff\acute{e}$ test and Pearson's correlation coefficient, using the SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. Results: The mean score of the level of ethical dilemma was 0.69/1, and nursing practice area was the highest (M=0.75). The result showed that nurses experienced ethical dilemma in many cases in their practice. The mean score of the level of coping with ethical dilemma was 1.43/3. The score of the job satisfaction of the participants was 2.97/5, and that of the turnover intention was 2.94/5. The ethical dilemma demonstrated significant correlations with coping (r=.255, p<.001), turnover intention (r=.079, p=.005), and job satisfaction (r=-.212, p<.001). Conclusion: Nurses need to get education on reducing ethical conflict as well as training to develop strategies for effective coping with ethical dilemma in practice. Futhermore, it is necessary to take efforts as a whole to increase nurses' job satisfaction and to reduce their turnover intention.
