Many nursing codes of ethics state or imply that nurses have a responsibility to conduct research in order to expand the profession’s knowledge base; yet, few provide guidance on the ethics of research. An increasing number of nursing organizations are now turning their attention to this very task, in order to provide specific guidance to their members on sound practices in their research, and for the training of the new generation of nurse researchers. This article provides the rationale for why such guidance is needed, describes ethical principles underlying scientific integrity, and presents several of the most compelling topics in scientific integrity, namely those related to publication practices, collaboration, and institutional responsibility.Descriptors: Nursing Research, Nursing, Nursing Ethics.Integridade científica em enfermagemMuitos códigos de ética em enfermagem afirmam ou pressupõem que os enfermeiros têm a responsabilidade de realizar pesquisas para expandir a base de conhecimentos da profissão; até agora, poucos orientam sobre a ética na pesquisa.

This article explores the concept of internationally acceptable codes of ethics within the context of an Egyptian nurse’s PhD studies. Theoretical work, including gaining ethical approval for the project, took place in the UK, while the data collection phase of the study was done in Egypt. This highlighted areas where the Arab Muslim interpretation of some ethical principles, especially around the issue of gaining informed consent, differed from that currently accepted in British research ethics. The authors argue that it may not be possible, or even desirable, to standardize codes of ethics globally in areas such as academic research. Ethical principles develop from a unique mix of culture and religion. It may be more important to develop cultural competence that includes the ability to understand and respect the way in which ethical principles are interpreted by various societies.

Accounting is one of the foundations of the business in modern world and an accountant is a specialist whose level of professionalism must be impeccable. Today in Ukraine there is a “crisis of confidence” in the profession of an accountant, caused primarily by violations of ethical standards by specialists and neglect of professional values. The problem is aggravated by the users of accounting services themselves, who try to influence the accountant, satisfying their interests at the expense of others. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the importance of compliance with the basic ethical principles of behavior by accountants in order to restore user confidence in accounting and reporting data, identify the reasons for violation of the code of ethics by accountants and determine the main directions of work of the professional community, the state and the accountants to eliminate the identified problems. It has been determined that compliance with the basic ethical principles by accountants contributes to: the formation of professional values and the development of a conceptual model of accountant behavior at all levels of education (secondary vocational, higher, additional education, advanced training); the implementation of the national code of ethics for professional accountants by adapting it to Ukrainian practice, internal codes of ethics of professional organizations or accounting services; the creating a mechanism for identifying unethical behavior of accountants and introducing an effective system of sanctions for violation of the code of ethics. However, the ways of solving the problems described in the article will give a positive result if the comprehensive work is carried out to ensure compliance with the norms of the code of ethics – from the professional community, the state and the accountants. Most efforts will be fruitless until users of accounting services – employers and clients, as well as the public – begin to place real demands on the ethical behavior of accountants.

Background. There are shortcomings in nurses’ adherence to ethical principles in practice. The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of teaching nursing ethics via scenario-based learning and group discussion in nurses’ adherence to codes of ethics and patients’ satisfaction with nurses’ performance. Methods. Using a quasiexperimental design, the present study employed questionnaires which measure nurses’ compliance with nursing codes of ethics and patients’ satisfaction with nursing care before, immediately after, and one month after intervention. The collected data were analyzed using the independent t-test, ANOVA, and chi-square test in SPSS v.22. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. The nurses (n = 80) and patients (n = 160) from various units of two university hospitals in the south-west of Iran participated in the present study. Results. The pretest mean scores of the intervention and control groups in patient rights and patients’ satisfaction with nursing care were not significantly different (p=0.07, p=0.21). Yet, there were statistically significant differences between the groups’ mean scores as calculated immediately after (p<0.001, p<0.001) and one month after intervention (p<0.001, p<0.001). Conclusion. Employment of new approaches to teach nursing ethical principles improves compliance with nursing ethical codes and patients’ satisfaction with nurses’ performance.

Ethics Of Research

This paper provides a brief but critical review of current thinking and debate about research ethics in criminology; it falls into two parts. The first part of the paper describes the sorts of ethical issues that tend to be flagged up in ‘textbook’ accounts of ethics in criminological research; some recent efforts to devise codes of ethics for researchers in criminology; and developments in what might be termed the ‘ethical policing’ of social research. The second part briefly sketches some deeper issues to do with the ethics of research with ‘deviant subjects’. It suggests, in particular, that the ethical issues faced by criminological researchers cannot be ‘read off’ from a medical model of research. This, however, is not due simply to the greater use of qualitative methods of research in criminology. Rather, it is due to the distinctive political and ethical terrain occupied by criminology, which is significantly different to that occupied by medical research.

The scientific article is devoted to the analysis of issues related to the ethical principles of the prosecutor's conduct in Ukraine and abroad. In the article, the author analyzes the current changes to the Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Prosecutors, which were approved by the All-Ukrainian Conference of Prosecutors on August 28, 2021. The analysis of these changes has not yet been the subject of research by domestic scientists and prosecutors. The author establishes the general expediency of making these amendments to the Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Prosecutors as such, which will contribute to the discipline of prosecutors and proper law enforcement. In order to properly analyze the study of certain provisions of the Laws of Ukraine "On the Prosecutor's Office" and "On Prevention of Corruption". Based on the study, the author made a number of conclusions and proposed amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On the Prosecutor's Office" and the Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of Prosecutors. Some changes to the Code of Professional Ethics and Conduct of the Prosecutor, in the opinion of the author, will not have any consequences, as already established in other regulations. The international legal acts (Guidelines on the Role of Prosecutors, Standards of professional responsibility and statement of the essential duties and rights of prosecutors, European guidelines on ethics and conduct for public prosecutors), which had a positive impact on the further consolidation of professional and personal and moral and ethical requirements for prosecutors in the relevant codes of ethics of various foreign countries. The ethical principles of prosecutors' conduct, which are enshrined in the relevant codes of Great Britain, Lithuania, and Latvia, are considered. The author examines the US experience of the so-called "filtering" procedure for candidates with an inadequate reputation for public service positions, which is mandatory and conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The article emphasizes that the obligation to ensure appropriate international criteria for the selection of persons for the post of prosecutor, which would include guarantees against appointments based on passion, and exclude any discrimination on the basis of skin color, language, religion rests with the state. According to the results of the study, it was established that the amendments to the Code will contribute to the discipline of prosecutors and ensure that the norms of the Code are brought in line with the requirements of the current legislation of Ukraine.

This commentary reflects on the Academy of Management's experience since developing a formal code of ethics to guide the professional behaviour of its members over twenty years ago. Despite widespread efforts to publicize the Code within the Academy, a sizeable proportion of Academy members are unaware it exists and only a very small proportion have read it carefully. Current efforts underway to increase ethics awareness are described. In addition, it is suggested that the discussion of ethical principles needs to move beyond a printed document and annual workshops to become more influential in the day-to-day lives of management professors. Suggestions for how this might be accomplished by the Academy of Management and other similar associations with codes of ethics (e.g., IACMR) are discussed.
