Özet:

Aim: To examine the ethical attitudes of women's health nurses in nursing care, their malpractice tendencies and influencing factors. Method: Nurses formed the population of the cross-sectional study. Sample selection was not made in the study, and 120 nurses who worked in two hospitals in the west and north of Turkey between February and December 2022 and met the inclusion criteria were included. The data of the study were collected with the Introductory Information Form, the Ethical Attitudes in Nursing Care Scale (HBETÖ) and the Malpractice Tendency Scale in Nursing Personnel (HHSSPMEÖ) and self-report method. SPSS 22.0 was used in the analysis of the data and was evaluated at the 5% significance level. Results: It was determined that the mean score of the nurses in HBETS was 153.40±13.82 and the mean score of HHSSPMES was 227.10±18.58. In the study, it was determined that the ethical attitudes of those who do not have children, those who work on duty, those who are trained in ethical attitudes, and those who witness their colleague's medical error, have a significantly higher awareness of malpractice(p<0,05). Conclusion: In this study, it was found that the ethical attitude levels of the nurses working in the gynecology services were high and their malpractice tendencies were low. Nurses should be encouraged to participate and take part in in-service trainings and scientific activities in order to strengthen them in terms of ethics and malpractice.
