August 2006 marked the 10th anniversary of landmark legislation when Israel's parliament passed the unique Patient's Rights Law. This law underscores the importance of medical ethics in Israeli society. During a seminar at the Shaare Zedek School of Nursing, third-year students performed a qualitative research study investigating ethical issues arising in the field of nursing, and how nursing staff dealt with these issues in relation to the law. The research was conducted using semistructured questionnaires. The results showed that the staff participants knew the law, but did not differentiate between legal and ethical problems. The establishment of a framework for dealing with these issues would help to promote professional ethics, encourage broad-based agreements related to ethical decisions, reduce ethical conflict, and increase implementation of the law on patients' rights.
2006 年 8 月，以色列议会通过了具有里程碑意义的《患者权利法》，标志着这一法案迎来十周年。该法律强调了医学伦理在以色列社会中的重要性。在沙雷·采德克护理学院的一次研讨会上，三年级的学生进行了一项定性研究，调查了护理领域出现的伦理问题，以及护理人员如何根据法律处理这些问题。该研究使用了半结构化问卷。结果表明，工作人员参与者了解法律，但无法区分法律问题和伦理问题。建立处理这些问题的框架将有助于促进职业道德，鼓励与伦理决策相关的广泛协议，减少伦理冲突，并增加患者权利法的实施。
