This article reports a survey of nurses in different cultural settings to reveal their perceptions of ethical role responsibilities relevant to nursing practice. Drawing on the Confucian theory of ethics, the first section attempts to understand nursing ethics in the context of multiple role relationships. The second section reports the administration of the Role Responsibilities Questionnaire (RRQ) to a sample of nurses in China (n = 413), the USA (n = 163), and Japan (n = 667). Multidimensional preference analysis revealed the patterns of rankings given by the nurses to the statements they considered as important ethical responsibilities. The Chinese nurses were more virtue based in their perception of ethical responsibilities, the American nurses were more principle based, and the Japanese nurses were more care based. The findings indicate that the RRQ is a sensitive instrument for outlining the embedded sociocultural factors that influence nurses' perceptions of ethical responsibilities in the realities of nursing practice. This study could be important in the fostering of partnerships in international nursing ethics.
本文报告了一项针对不同文化背景下护士的调查，以揭示她们对与护理实践相关的道德角色责任的看法。第一节借鉴儒家伦理理论，试图在多重角色关系的背景下理解护理伦理。第二节报告了对中国（n = 413）、美国（n = 163）和日本（n = 667）的护士样本进行角色责任问卷（RRQ）管理的情况。多维偏好分析揭示了护士对她们认为是重要道德责任的陈述所给出的排名模式。中国护士在对道德责任的认知上更基于美德，美国护士更基于原则，而日本护士更基于关怀。研究结果表明，RRQ是一种敏感的工具，可用于勾勒影响护士在护理实践现实中对道德责任认知的内在社会文化因素。这项研究对于促进国际护理伦理领域的合作可能具有重要意义。
