A trial of nursing training aiming at improving ethical awareness

We conducted a self-assessment investigation of holding of the training depending on the years of experience of the nurse and the ethical act. The subjects in the survey were 190 people from the nursing staff of Tokushima National Hospital. We made "a self-assessment list" by extracting nine items from the ethical general plan for nursing persons of the Japan Nursing Association. The ratio of the practice of the ethical nursing action was the first 71.41%, the second 74.86%, the third 75.96%, the fourth 76.04%. The ratio increased with the course. All 1-3 items increased when they looked according to an item. Self-consciousness develops with growth, and people come to evaluate behavior and character by themselves. Furthermore, self-assessment is associated with development of the ability to maintain personal relationships.
