Abstract:

To investigate the current state of professional ethics and professional spirit among nurses. The descriptive-analytical study was conducted in the nursing department. The study employed a stratified random sampling technique to select a sample of one hundred registered nurses affiliated with hospitals for participation. The sample size calculation was performed utilizing the sample size formula, with specified values of r = 0.183, a confidence level of 0.95, and a test power of 0.8. The maximum score for Professional Ethics was observed in the range of 47-69 (53%), whereas the highest Job Commitment Score was noted in the range of 60-90 (41%). The other observed ranges for Job Commitment Score were 23-46 (26%), 120-190 (38%), 70-115 (21%), and 0-60 (21%). The study’s results indicated a robust association between nurses’ elevated levels of professional ethics and their commitment to their respective institutions. Given the direct impact of nurses’ work on patients’ health, nursing managers must analyze how nurses’ professional ethics and organizational commitment contribute to the company’s success. Providing a comprehensive definition of ethical guidelines and in-service training courses to nurses may incentivize them to conform to ethical principles and enhance their level of commitment to the organization.
