Abstract :

Aim: To determine the current state of knowledge about nursing and ethics and what is the knowledge and experience based on the evidence in this regard. Background: Although ethics is at the center of the nursing profession and the ethical issues affecting nurses are given much importance, few studies have focused on professional ethics in nursing. In this aspect, ethics has become a concept that contains controversial and unclear situations. Design: A basic search algorithm has been chosen to extract the markers containing systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-synthesis, which are high-evidence-level studies of nursing and ethics. Data Sources: Cochrane, PubMed, CINAHL Complete, PsycINFO and ULAKBIM from 2012�2016. Review Methods: Following a systematic search strategy all papers were assessed in relation to inclusion criteria and type of study. When sufficient information is not available in the title and summary of the works, the necessary data were evaluated in full texts. Results: This review was completed with 27 articles meeting the research criteria. The evaluation identified six themes: 1) ethics and nursing; 2) ethical difficulties / ethical dilemma and nursing; 3) ethical competence and nursing; 4) professional ethics and nursing; 5) ethics, education and nursing; and 6) ethics in health research. Conclusions: The emphasis was on the importance of further research and education so that the ethical aspects of nursing can be better understood throughout the studies. Nurse researchers' level of evidence on ethics and their orientation to high research design will shed light on uncertain and controversial aspects of the subject.
