Abstract: (79 Views)
Codes of ethics serve as essential guides for nurses in all medical settings to implement ethical principles, and they are especially important in pediatric wards. Given the vulnerability of sick children, it is crucial for pediatric nurses to provide care grounded in ethical codes and guidelines. This study aimed to review pediatric nurses' adherence to these codes of ethics. This review study was conducted by searching for articles using keywords such as “nurse,” “care,” “codes of ethics,” and “children” (and their Persian equivalents) through databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and SID from 2013 to 2024. A total of 1537 articles were retrieved initially. After reviewing the full-text English or Persian articles, 23 were assessed for quality, and 10 were selected for analysis. Pediatric nurses' adherence to ethical codes encompasses several key principles, including respecting the patient's family, establishing trust-based relationships, maintaining the privacy of sick children, demonstrating patience, taking responsibility for errors in patient care, and ensuring non-discrimination between sick children and families. To effectively adhere to codes of ethics in pediatric care, nurses must provide ethical care that is both patient-centered and family-focused, using ethical principles as a foundation for their practice.
