Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: To identify the ethical issues experienced by nurses in the care for patients with COVID-19 and the factors that influence their occurrence. METHOD: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study, carried out between February and May 2022 with 101 nurses from two university hospitals, through the socio-occupational Ethical issues Experienced by Nurses in Emergency Questionnaire, adapted and validated for Brazilians. Descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson’s correlation test and linear regression were performed, adopting p-value. RESULTS: Ethical issues related to concern and stress in caring for infected patients were evidenced, being influenced by perception of social stigmatization (p = .003) and perception of hospital measures (p = .000). Agreement with infection control measures (4.46) and perception of hospital measures against COVID-19 (3.26) were factors with the highest mean between the constructs. CONCLUSION: Nurses are faced with ethical issues in the face of concern and stress in caring for patients with COVID-19, who are affected by social issues and assistance. It is essential to support them, promoting their mental and social well-being to deal with new emergency situations. |
