Abstract
Objective: It’s imperative that organizations that want to exist in
the business world where competition is intense and that want to ensure
should create a positive ethical climate perception. The aim of this
study was to determine the level of perceptions of the ethical climate of
nurses who work in a private hospital and to determine whether ethical
climate perceptions differ according to demographic characteristics.
Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study was
conducted between July-September 2018 on 154 nurses working at two
private hospitals (in Istanbul and Yalova). Research data were
collected from nurses working in these hospitals. In data collection,
Information Form and Hospital Ethical Climate Scale were used.
Results: According to findings, it was determined that the ethical
climate perception of the participants was generally positive. In
dimensions, ethical climate perception was found most positive in
patient dimension, while most negative in physicians dimension. At
findings, the perception of ethical climate according to the gender of
the participants differed statistically in the managers dimension and
perception of ethical climate according to working time in hospital
differed in patients dimension(p<0.05). Perception of ethical climate
didn’t differed significantly with age, educational and marital status of
participants (p>0.05).
Conclusions: It was determined that the hospital ethical climate
perceptions of the nurses in the study were highly positive, and this
perception was influenced by gender and the year of work. The subdimension, where the ethical climate perception was the most negative, was the physician dimension. It’s thought that the results obtained can
be a guide in supporting positive ethical behavior.
