Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

倫理的行動を自己評価する尺度の信頼性・妥当性を検証したことは、今後、学生が看護実践を振り返り自己評価するうえで活用できる重要なツールを開発・提供できたと考える。また、関連要因の検討として道徳的感受性が影響していること（決定係数0.38）が確認された。
リフレクティブサイクルによるデブリーフィングを取り入れた教育プログラムの開発により、倫理的行動に変化が生じるかについて検証したことで、看護教育にリフレクティブサイクルを活用する効果を検証できたと考える。
