ABSTRACT

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare perception of ethical role responsibilities of Korean military and civilian nurses in order to understand their differences and similarities. Methods: The authors administered the 36 item K-RRQ. Asked to score each role responsibility on a 7-point scale by importance, and then, select the top five and rank them by priority, 310 nurses responded. From them, 282 data were used for analysis. Results: The two groups perceived the importance of role responsibilities differently in relation to "Society" (F= 5.48, p=.020), "Professional practice" (F= 4.50, p=.035), and "Patient" (F= 4.13, p=.043). Military nurses put "Be competent and make continuous effort to improve professional skills" in the first place while their civilian counterparts placed "Try hard to preserve the patient's life" as first. As a whole, both of the samples ranked the role responsibilities in relationship with "Professional practice" first, and "Patient family" last. Conclusion: The two groups seem to have the same ethical orientation, and different perceptions of their role responsibilities. We attribute the former to their shared cultural values as Koreans, and the latter to the influence of their different organizations.
