The system of asylum seeker detention in Australia is one in which those seeking refuge are stripped of many of their rights, including the right to health. This presents serious ethical problems for healthcare providers working within this system. In this article we describe asylum seeker detention and analyse the role of nurses. We discuss how far an "ethics of care" and witnessing the suffering of asylum seekers can serve to improve their situation and improve ethical nursing practice.
澳大利亚的寻求庇护者拘留制度剥夺了寻求庇护者的许多权利，包括健康权。这给在该制度下工作的医疗保健提供者带来了严重的伦理问题。本文描述了寻求庇护者拘留，并分析了护士的角色。我们讨论了“关怀伦理”和见证寻求庇护者的痛苦在多大程度上可以改善他们的处境，并改善伦理护理实践。
