Intensive care units are directly associated with the competency level of nurses and are units where ethical problems are frequently experienced. This research aims to determine the relationship between intensive care nurses' ethical attitudes and holistic competence levels.
This study was conducted as a cross-sectional design using self-report questionnaires distributed to 131 intensive care nurses in Turkey. The data of the study were collected with the "Nurses Information Form," "Holistic Nursing Competence Scale" and "Ethical Attitude Scale for Nursing Care".
The total mean score of the Holistic Nursing Competence of the nurses was 6.89±0.95. Holistic Nursing Competence level was significantly lower for those who had experienced less than one year in the profession, and it was higher for those who worked in the emergency intensive care unit and the nurses whose clinics had 21 and above nurses. The total mean score of the nurses' ethics attitude toward nursing care was 59.36±29.09. Ethical Attitude for Nursing Care was significantly lower for those who had a master's degree, and the nurses whose clinics had 21 and above nurses scored higher. There was a weak and negative correlation between the nurses' Holistic Nursing Competence Scale and the total mean score of the Ethical Attitude Scale for Nursing Care. The ethical attitude was predicted in 13.2% of the Holistic Nursing Competence of nurses.
It was concluded that nurses' holistic competence levels were high, their ethical attitudes were negative, and there was a weak negative correlation between their holistic competence levels and their ethical attitudes toward care.
重症监护病房与护士的能力水平直接相关，是经常出现伦理问题的病房。本研究旨在确定重症监护病房护士的伦理态度与整体能力水平之间的关系。
本研究采用横断面设计，向土耳其的 131 名重症监护病房护士发放自我报告问卷。研究数据采用“护士信息表”、“整体护理能力量表”和“护理伦理态度量表”收集。
护士整体护理能力的总平均分是 6.89±0.95。在该专业工作不满一年的护士的整体护理能力水平较低，在急诊重症监护病房工作的护士和护士人数在 21 人及以上的诊所的护士的整体护理能力水平较高。护士对护理伦理态度的总平均得分为 59.36±29.09。具有硕士学位的护士的护理伦理态度得分较低，护士人数在 21 人及以上的诊所的护士得分较高。护士整体护理能力量表与护理伦理态度量表总分之间存在微弱的负相关。伦理态度可以预测护士整体护理能力的 13.2%。
研究结论为护士的整体能力水平较高，伦理态度消极，整体能力水平与护理伦理态度之间存在微弱的负相关。
