Ethical conduct of the nursing professional in the direct care of the hospitalized patient: Systematic review.

Abstract:

The present study is carried out to analyze the ethical conduct of the nursing professional in the direct care of hospitalized patients. For this purpose, a systematic review was carried out that was deepened through the analysis of 26 publications between descriptive studies, literary reviews, and original articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria established in the search strategy in which four fundamental aspects were identified: Ethical conduct of the nursing professional, direct patient care, code of ethics and incidence of ethical conduct in the recovery of the patient’s health. Among the most outstanding findings of the study, the articles reviewed by 92% were published in 2016 and were oriented to the study of the professional ethics of the nurse, the ethics of care, and nursing. For their part, the conclusions indicate that to the extent that the nursing professional provides a humanized service, understands the patient, shows interest in their emotional states, recognizes their will, participates in care decisions, improves communication with the patient, and dedicate more time to the recognition of their feelings as part of the care process, to that extent you will improve their health recovery process and will be complying with their ethical, moral and professional commitments registered in the Nursing Deontological Code.
