Nurses' professional values are closely associated with their ethical sensitivity and the quality of nursing care. The aim of this study was to determine surgical nurses' perceptions of their professional values, ethical sensitivities and quality of care, the relationship between these variables, and the factors influencing these. The sample of this cross-sectional, descriptive and relational study consisted of 231 nurses working in the surgical units of two university hospitals and a training and research hospital. The study revealed a statistically significant negative relationship between the nurses' professional values scale median score and the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire median score, and a positive significant relationship between the Nurses' Professional Values Scale median score and the Care Behaviors Scale median score. Having ethical problems in their professional lives increased the ethical sensitivity of nurses, while having a medical-vocational high school and vocational school of health services degree and participation in training/meetings about professional values and ethics increased the perception of the quality of nursing care. Awareness of professional values is crucial in providing quality nursing care that is in line with ethical principles; therefore, it is recommended that the continuity of surgical nurses' participation in training/meetings on professional values and ethics be ensured, that they be supported to become members of professional associations, and that supportive working environments be provided to improve the quality of nursing care.
护士的职业价值观与其伦理敏感性和护理质量密切相关。本研究旨在确定外科护士对其职业价值观、伦理敏感性和护理质量的看法、这些变量之间的关系以及影响这些变量的因素。本横断面描述性和关系研究的样本由在两所大学医院和一所培训与研究医院的外科病房工作的 231 名护士组成。研究表明，护士职业价值观量表中位数评分与道德敏感性问卷中位数评分之间存在统计学上显著的负相关，而护士职业价值观量表中位数评分与护理行为量表中位数评分之间存在统计学上显著的正相关。在职业生活中遇到伦理问题会增加护士的伦理敏感性，而具有医学职业高中和卫生服务职业学校学历以及参加关于专业价值观和伦理的培训/会议会提高对护理质量的认知。意识到专业价值观对于提供符合伦理原则的优质护理至关重要；因此，建议确保外科护士持续参加关于专业价值观和伦理的培训/会议，支持他们成为专业协会的成员，并提供支持性的工作环境，以提高护理质量。
