Abstract
This study is a descriptive research study to identify differences in awareness and practice of emerging infectious diseases, ethical awareness, ethical decision-making, and the effect on ethical decision-making among nurses and nursing students. 179 data were collected for nursing students and nurses in K city from August 20 to September 10, 2020. As a result of the study, there was a statistically significant difference between nursing students and nurses only in decision-making related to the principle of justice among ethical decision-making, and it was found that ethical education experience (𝛽=0.18, p=.013) influenced ethical decision-making. Based on the research results, it is suggested to develop a simulation-centered convergent ethics education program to improve ethical decision-making and provide regular education.
