Abstract

Background Developing a professional nurse with ethical competence requires an efficient teaching and learning process. Aim This study examined the roles and strategies of educators in facilitating and planning ethics education, as perceived by nurse educators. Methods Data was collected in guided, semi-structured online qualitative interviews based on a literature review of previous studies. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis. A purposive sampling of 13 volunteer nurse educators from three nursing universities in Southeast Asia took part in individual interviews. Results The nurse educators identified the importance of interdisciplinary experts within ethics education, and ensuring an ongoing and dynamic interaction between the students remains crucial. This is in addition to the nurse educators’ continued commitment to facilitating the course. Conclusions Establishing interdisciplinary curricula, actively engaging students, and having committed nurse educators can enhance nursing students’ awareness of ethical dimensions. Furthermore, the insights drawn from this study can be utilized in developing an engaging and culturally relevant ethics curriculum through deliberative and modern teaching and learning strategies.
