Patient Handover

Nursing handover exemplifies both the nurse’s professional ethics and the profession’s integrity. The article by Yetti et al. acknowledges the critical role of structure and process in handover implementation. At the same time, they emphasised the fundamental necessity to establish and update handover guidelines. I assert that effective patient handover practices do not simply happen; instead, nurses require pertinent educational support. It is also pivotal to develop greater professional accountability throughout the handover process. The responsibility for ensuring consistent handover quality should be shared between nurse managers and those who do the actual handover practices.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to make a contribution to the theoretical understanding of documents and documentary agency in society through examples from a defined institutional and professional setting; and second, to create an understanding for the role of ethical codes in the process of defining and developing modern librarianship. Design/methodology/approach This study analyses the role of documentation carrying content of professional ethics in the formulation of modern librarianship. This is done through a series of example documents of various kinds, such as founding charters, peer handbooks and ethical codes systematically analysed through the use of document theory and theory on institutional change. Findings The findings of this study suggest that documents pronouncing ethical self-regulation within librarianship play a primarily legitimising role in situations where new types of libraries emerge or when libraries adapt to social change. The study proposes legitimacy as a key aspect of documentality, thus supplementing the established understanding of the concept. Originality/value This study is the first to analyse the role of ethical codes in libraries using document theory. It brings new knowledge to the role of ethical self-regulation in librarianship over time and in different institutional contexts. In suggesting a developed definition of documentality, it contributes to the theoretical understanding of the role of documents and documentation in institutions and in society at large.

Teachers often characterize their interest in and commitment to the profession as moral: a desire to support students, serve their communities, or uphold civic ideals embedded in the promise of public education. These initial and sustaining moral impulses are well documented in research on teaching and teacher education. However, moral commitments can also be a source of teachers’ dissatisfaction and resistance, especially in the age of the market-based Global Education Reform Movement. This article explores the phenomenon of conscientious objection in teaching as an enactment of professional ethics. Conscientious objection describes teachers’ actions when they take a stand against job expectations that contradict or compromise their professional ethics. Teachers who refuse to enact policies and practices may be represented by popular media, school leaders, policymakers, and educational researchers as merely recalcitrant or insubordinate. This perspective misses the moral dimensions of resistance. Teachers may refuse to engage in practices or follow mandates from the standpoint of professional conscience. This article also highlights varieties of conscientious objection that are drawn from global examples of teacher resistance. Finally, the article explores the role of teachers unions as potential catalysts for collective forms of conscientious objection.

Taking Care

The changes introduced in the system of internal security in Poland after 1990, especially the activities of the Polish Police, are aimed at perceiving the servant role of the whole formation in relation to the society. Progressive professionalisation is connected not only with continuous improvement and exchange of equipment resources, but above all with high expectations towards the officers themselves. In this sense, in order to carry out the statutory tasks well, the policeman should obviously have the latest technological achievements, but it is equally important that he or she has a high sense of morality. In difficult situations, he or she must have no doubts as to how he or she should behave, what is good and what is wrong - what is bad. Ethically deepened professionalism means not only taking care of the quality of their work and its effects, but also taking care of good interpersonal relations, effective protection against unnecessary tensions, observance of the rules of appropriate behaviour and the accompanying diligence and efficiency of their actions. Openness of the Police to society, including building public trust based on ethical principles and absolute respect for human rights, supported by social research, is a testimony to the growing professionalism. The indicated trend in the development of the Polish Police is a new challenge. It is characterized by a return to the ethos of the State Police, but as it should be believed, it will not always meet with full recognition and understanding of the police community. This justifies undertaking research on the relationship between the rules of professional ethics of the police officer and their impact on the safety in service. This article contains a scientific exploration of the issues raised, supported by empirical research on a group of 326 Polish Police officers.
