Why is it important?
Ethical conflict is one of ICU nurses’ main problems, which rise for several reasons that must be measured. Unfortunately, there is no native instrument for measuring ethical conflicts for ICU nurses in Iran. One of the more suitable and new tools for the measurement of ethical conflict is called the “Ethical Conflict in Nursing Questionnaire: Critical Care Version (ECCNQ-CCV).”
Perspectives
In sum, the results of the present study suggest that the Persian version of ECNQ-CCV, in addition to the appropriate validity and reliability, has affirmed construct validity in the one-factor model. This instrument can be used by critical care nurses and health care managers to identify and reduce the risk of ethical conflict and its personal, professional, and institutional consequences and, eventually, would help to improve the quality of patient care. Furthermore, ECNQ-CCV can be completed in a short time because of its simplicity and the small number of items.
