Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of nursing students’ ethical susceptibility questionnaire (ESQ-NS) by comparison using the Moral Sensitivity Test (MST). A four-year longitudinal survey was conducted from April 2015 to November 2018. As a result of repeated-measures one-way analysis of variance, the ESQ-NS showed a significant difference in the total score and two of the three sub-factors: “Respect for individuals”(p<0.001) and “Maintaining patients’ confidentiality”(p<0.001). Correlation analysis also showed a significant correlation between ESQ-NS and MST. This means that while the two measures measure similar concepts, it was suggested that they were independent of each other. ESQ-NS was significantly associated with grade, with higher grade students showing higher ethical sensitivity than grade students. Therefore, we believe that ESQ-NS has shown its usefulness as a tool for measuring student ethical sensitivity considered to be nurtured and improved in basic nursing education.</p>
