The purpose of this research was to examine whether "caring" uniquely reflects the moral orientation of nursing students. Gilligan's theory of moral development and Kolhberg's theory of moral development structured this study of 119 nursing and medical students who described a real-life moral dilemma and responded to a hypothetical clinical moral dilemma. The findings suggest that nursing students use care more than justice considerations, but their moral orientation could best be described as mixed. Differences were found between nursing and medical students, but these differences appeared to be related to gender, not professional role. Therefore, it was concluded that a caring moral orientation is not unique to nursing.
本研究的目的是检验“关怀”是否独特地反映了护理专业学生的道德取向。吉利根的道德发展理论和科尔伯格的道德发展理论构成了这项对119名护理和医学专业学生的研究框架，这些学生描述了一个现实生活中的道德困境，并对一个假设的临床道德困境做出了回应。研究结果表明，护理专业学生在道德考量中更多地运用关怀而非正义，但他们的道德取向最好被描述为混合性的。护理专业学生和医学专业学生之间存在差异，但这些差异似乎与性别有关，而非专业角色。因此，得出的结论是，关怀性的道德取向并非护理专业所独有。
