Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine awareness of biomedical ethics, and to identify affecting factors of the awareness of biomedical ethics in nursing students. Methods: The subjects consisted of 266 nursing students their third and fourth years of study. The data were collected from October to December, 2015 by self-report using questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using SPSS/WIN 18.0, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean score of the awareness of biomedical ethics was $2.81{\pm}0.22$, perception of death was $3.15{\pm}0.36$, and knowledge of brain death, organ donation, and organ transplant was $12.12{\pm}3.02$. The prediction factors of awareness of biomedical ethics were gender (${\beta}=.29$, p<.001), participation in religious activity (${\beta}=.23$, p=.015), and perception of death (${\beta}=.20$, p=.016). The explanation power was 17.1%. Conclusion: These results showed that education about biomedical ethics is necessary for nursing students, and the development of biomedical ethics educational programs should reflect affecting factors.
