Ethical Conflicts in Nursing: Concept, Current Situation, Causes and Influencing Factors | Chapter 14 | Medical Science: Trends and Innovations Vol. 3

Background: Ethical conflicts are a common psychological problem in nursing work, which can significantly impact nurses’ mental health and the nursing profession’s development.

Objective: The objective of the study is to understand the current situation and causes of ethical conflicts in nursing, and analyze the main influencing factors.

Methods: The literature retrieval method was used to review empirical papers published in English or Chinese in the past 11 years in Google Scholar, PubMed, CNKI, and the Wanfang database.

Results: Thirty-eight articles were included. The ethical conflicts in nursing are a multi-dimensional and multi-category concept that weakens nurses' mental health, reduces their job engagement, job effectiveness, and subjective well-being, and hinders the healthy development of the nursing profession. The most common causes of ethical conflicts were conflicts with physicians, inadequate staffing, and lack of autonomy.

Conclusion: This study highlights the need for nursing educators, administrators, and policymakers to address the causes of ethical conflicts and develop strategies to mitigate their impact. Future research should focus on developing more robust tools and exploring the experiences of nurses from diverse backgrounds.

Study on the Middle East Cancer Consortium (MECC) - A Beacon of Human Decency | Chapter 3 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 14

 We are facing a rising worldwide health crisis, with the number of people dying from cancer-related ailments skyrocketing. Cancer is more than a medical crisis: it is a human, economic, and social concern because it knows no geographical, cultural, or religious boundaries. This global catastrophe has provided us with an opportunity to break out from our modern culture of individualistic isolation and learn how to assist ourselves by helping others, by embracing a common language of compassion and optimism. 1

Healthcare workers (particularly nurses) are in a unique position to foster improved communication, mutual respect, and, possibly, peace. The Middle East Cancer Consortium (MECC) is a living example of how to promote open communication and information exchange in times of conflict.

Our strategy is to unite oncology nurses from all religions, ethnic backgrounds, and communities across the Middle East together with the shared objective of implementing, expanding, and improving palliative care programmes in the region. We discovered that suffering may become a shared language, as few of us would refuse to relieve the anguish of a dying opponent. Sessions where nurses learn from one another about how to connect with patients and their families, as well as how to demonstrate empathy, are a staple of MECC events.

The power of science and medicine goes hand-in-hand with the capacity for empathy and trust, as this personal experience demonstrates. MECC participants have successfully journeyed into the unfriendly realms of prejudice, politics, and ideology using this strategy.

Nursing Students’ Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Self Directive Learning Skills: The Effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Versus Lecture Based Learning (LBL) | Chapter 10 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 5

Background: There is a lot of literature on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in medical and nursing education, but there isn't much from a cultural standpoint. As a result, the study's goal was to compare the outcomes of nursing students who received PBL with standard lecture in terms of critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-directed learning. PBL, or student-centered outcome-based learning, has become increasingly important in higher education and has been shown to increase learning quality among students at all levels and across disciplines.

Methods: A randomised controlled trial (RCT) design was employed with 85 undergraduate students who were enrolled in a mental nursing course and studied at level seven. The following instruments were used: PBL Evaluation Questionnaire with 20 elements for self-report (PBLEQ). The 14 items on the Self-assessment Scale on Active Learning and Critical Thinking (SSACT) scale are divided into two categories: "active learning" and "critical thinking." With coefficient alpha >0.8, all scales were highly reliable.

The experimental group was regarded PBL is effective in their learning process (t=3.568; p0.05) according to the study results, which demonstrated that the survey response rates were 100%. At pre and post intervention, the total SSACT indicated a significant difference in the experimental group (t=6.413; p0.05). In the pretest, there was a significant difference in percentage score between the experimental and control groups (t=2.374, p0.05).

Conclusion: This study provides information on the usefulness of PBL in building professional knowledge, developing problem-solving abilities, creating self-directed learning, and improving motivation from the perspective of students. It also encourages effective group collaboration while also encouraging active learning and critical thinking. As a result, PBL can easily be considered an alternate approach of teaching nursing students because it allows students to act as experts in clinical situations with little knowledge and motivates them to think not only deeply but also rigorously while establishing lifelong learning abilities.
