Students may not be able to integrate ethical issues into their knowledge and practical competencies, which makes them unprepared to manage such situations. Therefore, using an innovative and student-centred approach in nursing education is essential to increase ethical sensitivity. This study is the pioneer in terms of using an authentic learning (AL) approach for the first time in nursing ethics education. This study aimed to determine the effects of the case-based learning approach developed in line with the integrated ethical decision-making model and AL approach on the ethical sensitivity of nursing students in the management of ethical dilemmas. This single-group experimental study was conducted on a nursing faculty that offers a 4- year degree in Türkiye between September and December 2020. This study sample included 74 second-year nursing students enrolled. An 8- week program was developed and implemented by researchers. Data were collected using the Modified Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MMSQ) at the beginning and end of the program. Mean post-test scores for the MMSQ were significantly higher than those of the pretests. The Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Nonrandomized Designs checklist was used. When the mean scores for pre-test and post-test measurements were compared, the mean scores for ethical sensitivity were higher. The results suggest that a case-based learning approach can improve the levels of ethical sensitivity in nursing students. Nurse educators should continue to develop new educational strategies and continually evaluate training methodologies to help students develop their ethical sensitivities.

Öğrenciler, etik konuları bilgi ve pratik yeterliliklerine entegre edemeyebilirler, bu da onları bu tür durumları yönetmeye hazırlıksız hâle getirir. Bu nedenle hemşirelik eğitiminde yenilikçi ve öğrenci merkezli bir yaklaşımın kullanılması etik duyarlılığın artırılması için esastır. Bu çalışma, hemşirelik etiği eğitiminde ilk kez otantik bir öğrenme yaklaşımı kullanması bakımından öncü nitelikte bir çalışmadır. Bu çalışma, bütünleşik etik karar verme modeli ve otantik öğrenme yaklaşımı doğrultusunda geliştirilen vaka temelli öğrenme yaklaşımının hemşirelik öğrencilerinin etik ikilemlerin yönetiminde etik duyarlılıkları üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Bu tek gruplu deneysel çalışma, Türkiye'de 4 yıllık eğitim veren bir hemşirelik fakültesi üzerinde Eylül ve Aralık 2020 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın örneklemi, kayıtlı 74 2. sınıf hemşirelik öğrencisini içermektedir. Araştırmacılar tarafından 8 haftalık bir program geliştirilmiş ve uygulanmıştır. Veriler, programın başında ve sonunda Ahlaki Duyarlılık Anketi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Ahlaki Duyarlılık Anketi için ortalama son-test puanları, ön-testlerden önemli ölçüde daha yüksekti. 'Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Nonrandomized Designs' kontrol listesi kullanıldı. Ön-test ve son-test ölçüm puan ortalamaları karşılaştırıldığında etik duyarlılık puan ortalamaları daha yüksek çıkmıştır. Sonuçlar, vaka temelli öğrenme yaklaşımının hemşirelik öğrencilerinde etik duyarlılık düzeylerini iyileştirebileceğini göstermektedir. Hemşire eğitimciler, öğrencilerin etik duyarlılıklarını geliştirmelerine yardımcı olmak için yeni eğitim stratejileri geliştirmeye ve eğitim metodolojilerini sürekli olarak değerlendirmeye devam etmelidir.
