Abstract
- Providing good care requires nurses to reflect critically on their nursing practices. Ethics education must provide nurses with tools to accomplish such critical reflection. It must also create a pedagogical context in which a caring attitude can be taught and cultivated. To achieve this twofold goal, we argue that the principles of a right-action approach, within which nurses conform to a number of minimum principles, must be integrated into a virtue ethics approach that cultivates a caring attitude. Ethics education that incorporates both the 'critical companionship' method and the use of codes of ethics contributes positively to cultivating critical reflection by nurses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
