Ethical competences for the development of nursing care

Competências éticas para o desenvolvimento do cuidado em enfermagem

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To present an analysis of the nursing ethos based on the disciplinary foundations of nursing to propose a definition of ethical competences for nursing training.

Method:

The present proposal is a theoretical reflection, based on a literature review of the specialty, both nursing and ethics.

Results:

we suggest basing the ethical education of nursing students integrating transversally disciplinary, bioethical and civic ethical competences, considering certain educational dimensions that favor their development.

Final considerations:

We expect that the definitions of three competences of the moral scope of nursing, contribute to cross-cutting proposals that promote the values and principles of the profession.

Descriptors:
