This paper focuses on the nurses' role in ethical decision-making in intensive care units (ICUs) of hospitals in the UK. There is a paucity of research on the topic, studies published are generally North American or Canadian in origin. The available literature suggests that although nurses are constantly at the intensive care patient's bedside, often making complex decisions about treatment and care, their involvement in ethical decision-making is limited. This paper provides a review of the literature on how ethical decisions are made and the influences on nurses' participation in this process.
本文聚焦于英国医院重症监护病房（ICU）护士在伦理决策中的角色。关于这一主题的研究匮乏，已发表的研究大多源自北美或加拿大。现有文献表明，尽管护士始终在重症监护患者床边，经常就治疗和护理做出复杂决策，但他们在伦理决策中的参与程度有限。本文对有关伦理决策如何做出以及对护士参与这一过程的影响的文献进行了综述。
