Nursing Ethics Into the Next Millennium: a context-sensitive approach for nursing ethics
Kim Lützén
Ersta Institute for Health Care Ethics, Box 4619, 116 91 Stockholm, Sweden
The aim of this article is to argue for the need for a context-sensitive approach to the understanding of ethical issues in nursing practice as we face the next millennium. This approach means that the idea of universalism must be questioned because ethics is an interpersonal activity, set in a specific context. This view is based on issues that arise in international collaborative research as well as in research focused on ethical problems in nursing practice. Moral values are indigenous to a particular culture and influence beliefs about health and illness as well as what priorities are to be made in providing health care. Nursing practice must include thoughtful reflection on the meaning of moral concepts and principles in terms of culture. Theoretical developments in nursing ethics must be based on empirical research focusing on contextual aspects of health care.
Key Words: contextual ethics • cross-cultural research • nursing
