ABSTRACT

Ethics plays a central role in nurses' moral behavior toward patients, which significantly impacts patient health. Ethics is considered a crucial element of all health professions, including nursing, and can affect patient safety, particularly in the implementation of patient identification. One intervention that can be used to maintain ethical behavior among nursing staff is the nursing ethics round. This study aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of nursing ethics rounds on the implementation of patient identification in hospitals. The method used in this study is quantitative research using a quasi-experiment without a control group, with a sample size of 56 respondents. The intervention was a nursing ethics round. Data analysis was conducted using parametric alternative tests. McNemar. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant influence of the implementation of nursing ethics rounds on the implementation of patient identification in the Hospital Inpatient Ward. Nursing ethics rounds are included in the controlling management function (control or supervision) by the nursing committee to ensure the achievement of organizational goals, maintain service quality, and patient safety, especially in the implementation of patient identification.
