Abstract

Aims: The objectives of this study were first to develop a valid and reliable instrument that measured the sensitivity of Italian nursing undergraduates, and, second, to conduct an observational study in second- and third-year Italian nursing students to provide new insight into the efficacy of nursing ethics education to develop ethical sensitivity. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, observational pilot study was conducted in two Italian universities. To investigate the students' sensitivity, a brand new scale entitled "Ethical sensitivity scale undergraduates nursing students" (ESS-UNS) was produced. Twenty items that referenced the principles of the Italian Nursing Code of Ethics were identified (2009). Results: The measured exploratory factorial analysis outlined a two-factor solution (Table 1). Based on the semantics of the items, the first dimension was named "Ethical sensitivity as a positive attitude" and it was created to detect the perceptions and opinions of the students regarding good behaviours in nursing. The second dimension was named "Ethics sensitivity as a negative attitude" in virtue of the perceptions of the students regarding the behaviours considered ethically negative. Conclusion: The added value of our study is in the verification that academic ethical education significantly increases students' awareness regarding the possible ethical violations observed and lived in during clinical training. This can help students understand and identify the ethical conflicts in relationship with their moral maturity.

Keywords: nursing students, academic ethical education, moral maturity.

Scopo:Questo studio si pone l'obiettivo di sviluppare uno strumento valido ed affidabile utile a misurare la sensibilití  etica degli studenti di infermieristica italiani e condurre uno studio osservazionale per fornire nuove conoscenze sull'efficacia della formazione etica infermieristica nello sviluppo della sensibilití  etica. Metodo:E' stato condotto uno studio pilota descrittivo, osservazionale, con metodo quantitativo, in due importanti universití  italiane. In merito alla scala utilizzata per la raccolta dei dati, la stessa è stata sottoposta ad analisi di riduzione fattoriale attraverso l'analisi fattoriale esplorativa. Risultati:L'attendibilití  dello strumento, che è stata testata tramite la misura della coerenza interna della scala calcolando l'Alfa di Cronbach, ha riportato un'ottima attendibilití  dello strumento. Dal punto di vista descrittivo, i risultati ottenuti mostrano che la sensibilití  etica degli studenti, espressa nelle varie situazioni descritte dagli item, risulta soddisfacente in quanto i punteggi medi calcolati sono sempre vicino all'estremo positivo di rifermento. Inoltre, in linea con la letteratura, la maturití  e relativa formazione etica appresa, incide significativamente sulla sensibilití  etica degli studenti in misura crescente rispetto all'anno di corso frequentato. Conclusioni: La formazione etica accademica, aumenta in modo significativo la consapevolezza degli studenti delle possibili violazioni etiche osservate e vissute negli ambienti di tirocinio clinico, che li aiuta a discernere i conflitti che ne derivano in relazione alla sensibilití  etica maturata.

Parole chiave: Studenti Infermieristica, formazione etica accademica, maturití  morale.
