  • Title: Conceptual issues in nursing ethics research.
    Author: Penticuff JH.
    Journal: J Med Philos; 1991 Jun; 16(3):235-58. PubMed ID: 1880464.
    Abstract:
    Empirical studies that have attempted to describe nurses' ethical practice have used conceptual frameworks derived primarily from the disciplines of bioethics and psychology. These frameworks have not incorporated important concepts developed by nursing theorists over the past two decades. This article points out flaws in the past research frameworks and proposes a synthesis of ethical theory, nursing practice contexts, and empirical research methods to enrich theoretical development in nursing ethics.
