ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The ethical competence of head nurses plays a pivotal role in nursing ethics. Ethical climate is a prerequisite for ethical competence, and moral resilience can positively influence an individual's ethical competence. However, few studies have focused on the relationship between ethical climate, moral resilience, and ethical competence among them.OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the relationship between ethical climate, moral resilience, and ethical competence, and examine the mediating role of moral resilience between ethical climate and ethical competence among head nurses.DESIGN:
A quantitative, cross-sectional study.METHODS:
A total of 309 Chinese head nurses completed an online survey, including ethical climate questionnaire, Rushton moral resilience scale, and ethical competence questionnaire. Inferential statistical analysis includes Pearson's correlation and a structural equation model. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS This study received ethical approval from the Institutional Review Board of Xiangya Nursing School of Central South University (No. E2023146).RESULTS:
Head nurses' ethical climate score positively impacted ethical competence (r = 0.208, p < .001), and ethical climate could affect ethical competence through the mediating role of moral resilience.CONCLUSION:
This study emphasized the value of ethical climate in moral resilience of head nurses, ultimately leading to an enhancement in their ethical competence.
