Ethical reasoning in nurses' and physicians' stories about care episodes.

G Udén¹, A Norberg, A Lindseth, V Marhaug.

Abstract

Twenty-three registered nurses and nine physicians reported 43 stories about ethically difficult care situations. Themes in nurses' and physicians' stories were described by means of narrative ethical theory. It turned out that nurses and physicians related different kinds of stories. They also seemed to use different kinds of ethical reasoning. This result was interpreted as mainly connected to the fact that the two professions have different tasks to accomplish and are trained in disciplines with different foci; nursing and medicine. The need to find a common frame story covering the two professional stories was stressed.
