emphasis placed on the category of the personal attributes that nurses bring into
nursing as the persons they are. Almost 30% of the 169 responses to the first question
fell into the category of ‘personal characteristics’. Although the ‘patient care’ category also accounted for about 30% of the responses to this question, that finding
was far less surprising to the authors because of the historical importance that
care giving has had for nurses. The personal characteristics pattern was further
emphasized by the fact that the third highest percentage category (‘knowledge
base’) accounted for only 15% of the responses, and the remaining four categories
combined accounted for only 25% of the responses to the first question. Wilson
and Startup
60 reported a similar abundance of personal traits when asking sisters
and charge nurses in Wales to describe the ‘good nurse’. Personal characteristics
identified by the nurses included: is pleasant, keen to learn, empathetic, dedi- cated, conscientious, and able to communicate; possesses common sense; and
takes initiative. Similarly, when Häggman-Laitila and Åstedt-Kurki62 asked
patients about their expectations of nurses, they reported personal characteristics
such as appropriateness and kindness, just and equal treatment, and genuineness
and honesty. This emphasis on personal characteristics supports the inclusion of
virtue ethics in the ethical decision-making discussion.
