Abstract:
This CE webinar will explore experiential strategies to teach and practice moral courage to promote healthcare error reporting and speaking up behaviors during undergraduate nursing education. Moral courage is taking action to stand up for what one considers ethical, regardless of personal consequences. In other words, doing the right thing even when there is risk of negative consequences such as loss of job or being labeled as a trouble maker at work. Nursing educators shoulder the responsibility to lay the ethical foundation for future nurses to speak up in the professional nursing career. Nurses need moral courage to address error reporting and speaking up behaviors to reduce the incidence of healthcare errors and assure safe, quality care for patients.
Learning Objectives:
- Compare moral courage and psychological safety in professional healthcare environments.
- Identify two strategies needed to implement moral courage opportunities into a clinical simulation program.
- State medical simulation scenario to add moral courage experiences at the learners current clinical education/training/care institution.
