Work satisfaction is known to be one of the major factors related to nurses' quality of care. Being able to apply the professional principles of training influences work satisfaction. The nursing ethical code is a good manifestation of these professional principles. The everyday strains on nurses' work might compromise the amount of energy invested in following the ethical code. The gap between the ethical requirements (as perceived by the nurse) and the perceived extent to which they are applied will influence work satisfaction through the mediating effect of role conflict. Demographic variables including age, tenure and number of children might also exert an effect. Structured questionnaires were used to measure the perceptions of nurses regarding their ability to follow the ethical code in a large hospital in Israel. Practical considerations meant that the questionnaire focused on client privacy issues in the ethical code. Results support the mediating hypothesis as the 'ethical gap' did not correlate directly with work satisfaction. This paper highlights that professionalization, manifested by the ethical code, should be applied on an everyday basis in the workplace.
工作满意度是已知与护士护理质量相关的主要因素之一。能够应用专业培训原则会影响工作满意度。护理道德准则就是这些专业原则的良好体现。护士日常工作中的压力可能会影响其遵循道德准则所投入的精力。（护士所认知的）道德要求与实际应用程度之间的差距会通过角色冲突的中介作用影响工作满意度。包括年龄、任期和子女数量在内的人口统计学变量也可能产生影响。在以色列的一家大型医院，采用结构化问卷来衡量护士对其遵循道德准则能力的认知。实际考虑因素意味着问卷聚焦于道德准则中的客户隐私问题。结果支持中介假设，因为“道德差距”与工作满意度并无直接关联。本文强调，以道德准则体现的专业化应在日常工作场所中得到应用。
