Nurses at the bedside have widely varied educational backgrounds. Most bedside nurses have insufficient knowledge in the area of ethical decision-making to feel confident in their ability to participate in ethical decision-making along with the health care team. Continuing education programs for staff nurses should focus on ethical decision-making to empower bedside nurses to participate. The effect of a successful continuing education program in ethics could lead to improved relationships among health care professionals, improved communication with patients and families, and reduced stress-related burnout caused by ethical dilemmas. This article describes a successful continuing education program designed to improve knowledge of ethics and confidence in ethical decision-making that can be adapted for any nursing specialty.
床边护士的教育背景差异很大。大多数床边护士在道德决策方面知识不足，对自己与医疗团队一起参与道德决策的能力缺乏信心。针对在职护士的继续教育项目应侧重于道德决策，以使床边护士有能力参与其中。一个成功的道德继续教育项目可能会改善医疗专业人员之间的关系，改善与患者及其家属的沟通，并减少因道德困境导致的与压力相关的职业倦怠。本文介绍了一个成功的继续教育项目，该项目旨在提高道德知识和道德决策信心，可适用于任何护理专业。
