Research Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine moral reasoning in the context of moral conflicts experienced by nurses in clinical settings from the viewpoints of care and justice. Narratives of ten interviewed nurses were analyzed by applying protocols from Gilligan's Reader's Guide. Content analysis of the narratives of seven nurses led to categorization as "both justice and care present," and that of the remaining three nurses as "pure justice." "Welfare of others" was the most frequently extracted concept for the care orientation from six cases, and the concept "roles" appeared in all cases involving the justice orientation. Our findings suggest that "roles" is a critical component that significantly impacts the professional practice of nurses.
