Session on Ethics and professionalism in nursing research and practice

Ethics and professionalism are integral components of nursing research and practice. Nurses are held to high ethical standards, including respect for patient autonomy, confidentiality, and informed consent. In research, nurses must ensure that their studies are conducted ethically and with the utmost professionalism, ensuring the protection of human subjects and the responsible use of resources. Additionally, professionalism involves maintaining high standards of competence and integrity, as well as promoting a culture of respect and accountability. By upholding ethical and professional standards in nursing research and practice, nurses can build trust with patients, advance the nursing profession, and promote the delivery of high-quality, ethical care.
