Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study is to understand the ethical issues experienced by nurse practitioners who provide medical care, such as “tokutei koui”(designated duties). The nurse practitioners in this study were designated as shinryo-kangoshi in Japan. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 249 nurse practitioners certified by the Japan NP Graduate School of Education Council, and 54 responses were analyzed. As a result, the nurse practitioner experienced many ethical issues such as “physical restraint: sedation or not,” “advocacy of patient rights,” and “staffing that could not provide adequate care.” And they were suffering from the ethical issue of “relationships with doctors and nurses.”</p><p>The ethical issues experienced by nurse practitioners are similar to those of clinical nurses, and their ethical sensibility as nurses might be reflected in the results. In addition, sedation is the important issue of participants’ experiences as nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners have ethical problems with their relationships with doctors and nurses, suggesting differences in issues across the field of education. There is a need for further development of ethics education in the master’s program at the graduate school.</p>
