All publications pave the way for the current phase: Writing up a descriptive and interpretive theory of ethical responsibility- 2023-2024
The purpose of the research project is to develop an understanding of ethical responsibility and to develop a descriptive interpretive theory of ethical responsibility in public health nursing. The research is important for the discipline of nursing. The theory will be based on the qualitative empirical studies, a purposeful literature review and metasynthesis of public health nurses’ experiences of ethical responsibility interpreted within a philosophical framework. The results of the research have implications for education and practice and can provide direction for further studies on ethical responsibility in all nursing specialties.
