看護学実習における倫理カンファレンスの意義：母性看護学実習における倫理カンファレンス記録の分析から

Significance of ethics conferences in nursing practicums: Based on analysis of ethics conferences in maternal nursing practicums

　母性看護学実習に導入した倫理カンファレンスを振り返り、看護学実習における倫理カンファレンスの意義を明らかにすることを目的に研究を行った。研究は、平成26年9月〜平成27年2月に行われた母性看護学実習9グループ（82名）の倫理カンファレンス記録をデータとし、質的記述研究を行った。分析は母性看護学の教員3名で行った。本研究は研究者が所属する大学の倫理委員会で承認を得て行われた。結果、倫理カンファレンスの意義として以下の3つが明らかとなった。1. 学生が感じた違和感や倫理的ジレンマを対象の権利と専門的倫理に整理して考える力を養う。2. 状況に応じて倫理を考えられる力を養う。3. 看護領域の倫理的特徴を踏まえた倫理カンファレンスを積み重ねることにより学生の倫理的行動の多様性を育む。

　The present study was conducted with the objective of reflecting on ethics conferences introduced in maternal nursing practicums and elucidating the significance of ethics conferences in nursing practicums. The records of ethics conferences held for nine groups (82 students) of maternal nursing practicums between September 2014 and February 2015 were analyzed in a qualitative and descriptive manner by three faculty members in charge of maternal nursing. The present study was conducted with the approval of the ethics committee of the researchers' affiliated university. Based on the results, the following four items were identified as the significance of ethics conferences: 1) Nurtures the ability of students to consider the skepticism and ethical dilemmas they face in terms of the subject's rights and professional ethics, 2) Nurtures the ability to think about ethics according to the situation, and 3) Promotes the diversity of the students' ethical behavior through accumulation of ethics conferences that consider the ethical characteristics of the various nursing fields.
