Ethical climate can be defined as the healthcare professionals' perceptions of the ethical treatment of healthcare issues and human interactions in their work environment. A number of studies on ethical climate are being carried out in several countries. In Brazil, however, research on the matter is still incipient, especially among hospital nurses.
To assess nurses' perception of the ethical climate in a university hospital in the South of Brazil.
Cross-sectional study carried out with 269 nurses from a university hospital, using a sociodemographic and occupational profiling survey and the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey Brazilian version. Data analysis was done through descriptive statistics.
The nurses' perception of the ethical climate was positive (3.68 ± 0.55). Among the five assessment factors, 'peers' had the highest score (4.07 ± 0.57), whereas 'physicians' had the lowest score (3.26 ± 0.70) for ethical climate.
In general, the ethical climate was perceived as positive, with small variations between the factors of the instrument. Ethical climate could be enhanced through strategies that encourage interpersonal relationships. This study shows the importance of a positive ethical climate based on good relationships between healthcare professionals for ensuring better care.
道德氛围可定义为医疗保健专业人员对其工作环境中医疗保健问题的道德处理以及人际互动的认知。一些国家正在开展多项关于道德氛围的研究。然而，在巴西，对此问题的研究仍处于初期阶段，尤其是在医院护士中。
评估巴西南部一家大学医院护士对道德氛围的认知。
对一家大学医院的269名护士进行横断面研究，采用社会人口统计学和职业概况调查以及巴西版医院道德氛围调查问卷。通过描述性统计进行数据分析。
护士对道德氛围的认知是积极的（3.68±0.55）。在五个评估因素中，“同事”在道德氛围方面得分最高（4.07±0.57），而“医生”得分最低（3.26±0.70）。
总体而言，道德氛围被认为是积极的，问卷各因素之间差异较小。可以通过鼓励人际关系的策略来加强道德氛围。本研究表明，基于医疗保健专业人员之间良好关系的积极道德氛围对于确保更好的护理至关重要。
