Behavior is known as misconduct when individuals do not adhere to ethical standards, rules, or regulations. Several factors lead to misconduct, including the lack of understanding of what misconduct is among undergraduate students. However, misconduct as a concept needs more clarity and specificity.
This study aimed to examine the concept of misconduct from the literature and establish an operational definition for application to nursing education.
A concept analysis using Rodger's evolutionary view was used to analyze the literature from the disciplines of: academics, business, law, and religious perspectives.
An operational definition was developed based on the multidisciplinary concept analysis. A concept map was designed to help visualize the antecedents, attributes, and consequences and to assist in the conceptualization of misconduct. Implications for nursing science, administration, and education are provided.
Understanding misconduct is necessary for nurse educators to ensure ethical practice within the academic context.
当个人不遵守道德标准、规则或法规时，行为就被称为不当行为。导致不当行为的因素有很多，包括本科生对不当行为的理解不足。然而，不当行为作为一个概念需要更加明确和具体。
本研究旨在从文献中检查不当行为的概念，并为应用于护理教育建立一个操作性定义。
使用罗格的进化观点进行概念分析，以分析来自学术、商业、法律和宗教等学科的文献。
根据多学科概念分析，制定了一个操作性定义。设计了一个概念图，以帮助可视化前因、属性和后果，并协助对不当行为的概念化。为护理科学、管理和教育提供了启示。
理解不当行为对于护士教育者确保学术环境中的道德实践是必要的。
