Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study was to clarify nursing students’ perceptions of ethical problems and explore related factors. We administered a questionnaire survey to students of a nursing baccalaureate program and obtained responses from 266 of them. Four factors (Factor I: How medical professionals treat patients; Factor II: Knowledge and skills of nurses; Factor III: Respect for patients’ autonomy; Factor IV: Ward rules and facilities) regarding their perceptions of ethical problems were extracted by explanatory factor analysis. The scores of 32 items on ethical problems were 2.6–4.3. Items that nursing students perceived as the most important ethical problems were shown to be related to Factor I. Exploration of the related factors showed significant differences in Factor IV by grades, clinical training experience, and attendance in ethics classes.</p>
