Background of the Study
Professional ethics are essential in nursing practice as they guide nurses' behavior, decision-making, and interactions with patients, colleagues, and the healthcare system. In Katsina State, nursing ethics plays a significant role in ensuring that nurses provide high-quality care while adhering to moral and professional standards. Ethical principles such as respect for patient autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice are central to the delivery of care and the nurse-patient relationship (Ahmed et al., 2023).
The integration of professional ethics into nursing practice is crucial in ensuring that nurses act in the best interests of their patients and uphold the integrity of the healthcare profession. However, the application of these ethical principles can sometimes be challenging, particularly in resource-constrained environments like Katsina State, where nurses face issues such as inadequate staffing, limited resources, and pressure to prioritize tasks. This study aims to explore how professional ethics influence nursing practice in Katsina State, with a particular focus on the challenges nurses face in maintaining ethical standards in their practice.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the recognized importance of professional ethics in nursing, challenges such as workload, understaffing, and limited resources may make it difficult for nurses in Katsina State to consistently uphold ethical standards. This may lead to compromised patient care, ethical dilemmas, and reduced job satisfaction among nurses. There is a need for a deeper understanding of how professional ethics impact nursing practice in Katsina State, as well as the challenges nurses face in adhering to ethical guidelines.
