Nurses' Professional Ethics Dimensions from the Point of View of Nurses and Physicians: A Qualitative Content Analysis

护士与医生视角下的护理专业伦理维度：一项定性内容分析

The prevalence of academic cheating in educational centers and institutions leads to inefficiency and incapacity of graduates. Accordingly, the current study aimed to design a structural model for academic cheating in medical students based on moral metacognition, moral identity, and moral potency. This correlational study was done using structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study included the students of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences in 2022, and 350 students were selected for the study using simple random sampling method. Data were collected through the Academic Cheating Scale (ACS) (Parks-Leduc, Guay and Mulligan, 2022), Moral Metacognition Scale (McMahon and Good, 2016), Moral Identity Questionnaire (MIQ) (Black &amp; Reynolds, 2016), and Moral Potency Questionnaire (Hannah and Avolio, 2010). Data were analyzed using Bootstrap, Sobel, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient tests via SPSS and AMOS, version 24. The results indicated that the direct effect of moral potency (-0.34), moral identity (-0.25), and moral metacognition (-0.29) was significant on estimating academic cheating in students. The indirect effect of moral identity (-1.97) and moral metacognition (-2.06) with the mediating role of moral potency on students’ academic cheating was significant. Considering the mediating effect of moral potency in the academic cheating model, it seems that moral potency plays a role in increasing the effects of moral metacognition and moral identity on reducing academic cheating.

Physician self-referral is the referral of a patient to a medical facility in which the referring physician has a financial interest. This can take two forms: internal referrals within the same office and external referrals, often involving joint ventures. Many claims, positive or negative, have been made regarding self-referral. Proponents claim that self referral causes, reduction of costs by fostering a competitive environment, encourage investment in health facilities particularly in underserved areas, financial benefits for both the doctor and the patient via cost reduction, and inhance the quality and accessibility of health services. Conversly, opponents, citing multiple studies, argue that self- referral may result in excessive and unnecessary utilization of healthcare services, leading to increased healthcare costs, low quality of services provided, and jeopardise patient safety. In certain countries, such as the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran, ethical codes address self-referral. These guidelines either deem it unethical or require disclosure, accompnied by regulations to govern this practice.

Ethical Review of Physicians' Self Referral

医生自我转诊的伦理审查

Scientists now believe that precision medicine, which employs complicated technology and information derived from omics, can treat complex diseases and provide justice in health. Implementation of precision medicine will face new ethical challenges, considering the principles of medical ethics. With respect to philosophical principles, this study addressed the issue of justice and some ethical challenges of precision medicine. Because, in order to gain the benefits of precision medicine, a proper ethical framework must be developed while considering the challenges. The manner in which precision medicine information is shared and accessed can have an impact on people’s future careers, marriage choices, and type of health insurance. Furthermore, preserving people’s privacy and autonomy are important ethical concerns in precision medicine since there will be no perfect guarantee about data security and access. Although in the short and medium term, due to the design of studies and expensive and complex technologies, precision medicine will be limited to certain groups and will intensify the inequality in justice, in the long run, with the easy access and inexpensive cost of precision medicine technologies, the accumulation of medical expenses will decrease throughout life, and justice will be established between and within countries.

This study analyzed the credibility perceptions from the perspective of Allameh Tabatabai, one of the prominent Iranian philosophers in the field of philosophy of ethics. Tabatabai emphasizes the significance of credibility based on fundamental values such as truth and justice, arguing that credibility should be rooted in these values. He also pays attention to the analysis of credibility perceptions and underscores their importance in human behaviors and decision-making. The study further delved into how individuals’ credibility perceptions are formed and highlighted the significance of grounding these perceptions on rational arguments, as well as religious and mystical experiences. Credibility perceptions play a crucial role in shaping ethical values and principles and have a direct impact on human ethical behaviors. Moreover, Tabatabai emphasizes the importance of willpower, faith, and piety in shaping human ethical behaviors, explaining that, for individuals to achieve their goals, they must possess knowledge and awareness and make decisions to perform actions based on precise knowledge. These credibility perceptions not only play a vital role in human interaction with the material world but also contribute to the formation of their ethical cognition. Finally, the study demonstrated that analyzing credibility perceptions and focusing on ethical principles and values can contribute to the establishment of suitable ethical environments required for the formation of ethical behaviors. In other words, this study considered credibility perceptions as a solution to addressing ethical challenges in societies and cultures.
