Abstract

This study aims to provide foundational data for fostering desirable ethical values and enhancing confidence in ethical decision-making among nursing college students by identifying the mediating effect on nursing professionalism on the relationship between ethical values and ethical decision-making confidence. The subjects of the study were survey of 163 third-year nursing students from one universities. The SPSS/23.0 program was used to analyze the data with descriptive statistics; an independent t-test, analysis of variance ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and mediating effect analysis were performed using Process Macro 4.0. Ethical decision-making confidence among nursing students was found to be correlated with ethical values (r=.613, p<.001) and nursing professionalism (r=.548, p<.001). Nursing professionalism mediated the relationship between ethical values and ethical decision-making confidence. Based on these findings, it is necessary to establish a continuous and systematic ethics education program from the beginning of admission to nursing school, and to develop and implement various teaching methods that allow nursing students to experience ethical decision-making directly and indirectly, aiming to enhance their confidence in ethical decision-making.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 윤리적 가치관과 윤리적 의사결정 자신감의 관계에서 간호전문직관의 매개효과를 파악하여 간호대학생의 바람직한 윤리적 가치관의 형성과 윤리적 의사결정의 자신감을 향상시키기 위한 방안 마련의 기초 자료를 제시하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상은 일개 대학의 3학년 간호학과 163명으로 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0을 이용하여 기술통계, Independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient을 하였고, Process macro 4.0 프로그램을 통해 매개효과를 검증하였다. 간호대학생의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감은 윤리적 가치관 (r=.613, p=<.001), 간호전문직관(r=.548, p=<.001)과 정적 상관관계로 나타났다. 윤리적 가치관과 윤리적 의사결정 자신감과의 관계에서 간호전문직관은 매개효과를 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 간호대학생의 윤리적 의사결정 자신감을 향상시키기 위해 교육과정 편성 시 저학년 때부터 지속적이고 체계적인 윤리 교육과 간호전문관의 정립, 윤리적 의사결정을 직·간접적으로 경험할 수 있는 다양한 교수 방법의 개발 및 적용이 요구된다.
