Abstract

It is generally assumed that the higher the level of formal education the better the nursing student's ability in ethical decision-making. This survey study aimed at examining the relationship between ethical decision-making and perception of learning climate of the student nurses from the hospital-based certificate and degree educational programmes in Hong Kong. Non-probability convenience sampling was used to obtain a total sample of 140 certificate and 81 degrees nursing students. The results indicated that the degree students scored significantly lower in the ethical decision-making than the certificate students. No significant difference was detected in the perception of learning climate between the two groups but the learning climate variable was found to correlate with ethical decision-making in degree students.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
