Professional Values

In current nursing education programs, professional values education mostly remains at a theoretical level; students' internalization of these values and reflection of them in their behavior is limited. Ahilik is a historical system based on ethical principles, professional responsibility, and a sense of service to society. The aim of this study is to experimentally evaluate the effect of Ahilik-based education on the professional values of nursing students. Hypotheses H0: There is no significant difference between the professional values of nursing students who receive Ahilik education and those who do not. H1: The professional values of nursing students who receive Ahilik education are significantly different from those who do not.

This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effect of the reflective thinking method used in ethics education on ethical decision making, professional values, and compassion levels in nursing students.The hypotheses of the study are as follows: H1.1. There is a difference in ethical decision-making average scores between students who were applied the reflection method in ethics education and students in the control group. H1.2. There is a difference in professional values average scores between students who were applied the reflection method in ethics education and students in the control group. H1.3. There is a difference in compassion average scores between students who were applied the reflection method in ethics education and students in the control group.
