Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify how nursing students' awareness of biomedical ethics and ethical values affect their attitudes towards a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order. Methods: This cross-sectional correlation study was conducted with 275 nursing students enrolled at two universities in North Chungcheong Province and North Gyeongsang Province of South Korea. Data were collected in April 2017 using a self-reported questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. Results: The students' attitudes towards DNR were positively correlated with attitudes that seek ethical values but negatively correlated with their biomedical ethics awareness. The explained variance for attitudes towards DNR was 20%, which was significant (F=13.01, P<0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that nursing students' biomedical ethics awareness and ethical values were associated with their attitudes towards DNR. Curriculum organization and various educational programs should be developed and applied to help nursing students develop ethical values and awareness of biomedical ethics.

Data collection was conducted from May 14 to June 1, 2018 in 180 students of a university nursing student in Daegu who explained their research and agreed to the study. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 program. In order to confirm the difference between the subjects' demographic characteristics and nursing-related characteristics, the independent t-test and ANOVA were used, and the post-test was conducted using the $Sch{\acute{e}}ffe$ post-test. The ethical values of the nursing students were $97.51{\pm}8.96$ out of 150, indicating that they were inclined toward the position of deontology. The first grade students were more dominant, and the higher the grade, the more inclined toward utilitarianism.

This research aims to strengthen the ethical decision-making capability of nursing students, and involves 82 fourth-year undergraduate nursing students in a nonequivalent control group pre-post quasi experimental research design from March 4 to June 3, 2013. Experimental group took a discussion-based class and control group took a traditional lecture-based class and we identified the differences in ethical knowledge, class satisfaction and ethical values between the two groups. Experimental group had higher scores for ethical knowledge after the class. There was no significant change in ethical values after the class in the two groups. The experimental group achieved significantly higher scores for the comprehension of class contents and practical application within the class satisfaction criteria. So we propose to use this model as an effect teaching method to apply ethical principles in nursing practice.

This study was a descriptive study to investigate the influence of moral self-concept and ethical values on attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment among nursing students. The study subjects were 296 nursing students from 2 nursing colleges in G city. The data were collected from June 12 to June 23, 2017 and analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 program. The mean score of the moral self-concept was 3.48±0.33, of ethical values was 3.50±0.37 and of attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment was 3.13±0.43. In attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, there were significant differences in grade(F=3.21, p=.024), practice(t=2.06, p=.040) and nursing ethics education(t=2.98, p=.003). There was a significant negative correlation between attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment and moral self-concept(r=-.14, p=.017) and ethical values(r=-.42, p<.001). The significant predictors that influence the attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment were ethical values and nursing ethics education. The explanatory power was 22.5%. Based on the above results, additional studies to determine the various factors affecting attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment of nursing students should be conducted and systematic education programs need to be developed to foster utilitarian values in order to form a positive attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment.
