Abstract:
A nurse’s profession is based on the cares of nursing which provide with comfort and well-being. These cares are founded on the sensitivity that the professional shows towards the patient. They are also determined by the degree of morality of each person. The main objective of the present study is to know the degree of sensitivity that professionals present towards nursing cares. It also wants to know which values are more relevant in their day-to-day. A quantitative study is made with an instrument known as “Moral Sensitivity Survey in the nurse care CusMCE-34” in the Pius regional hospital in Valls. It is placed in the Alt Camp region. Women were the participating population mainly and the highest age range was between 46 and 55 years old. They got an average result of 3.68% which showed a high moral sensitivity degree among the nursing professionals. The surgical area got the highest influence. Although the study is developed in a small quantity of people, it is the first time when CuSMCE is used to make a similar study. Therefore, the discoveries can encourage future investigations in this field while they use a survey adapted to the culture and features of the own country.
