Abstract
In the year of 2003, Taiwan has been seriously attacked by SARS. During the outbreak of disease, our medical system did confront the various ordeals. Especially, the dilemma occurred in the nursing system which follows sequent acts like strike against poor protection and resource, resigning from their duty, and refusing taking care of the SARS patients. When our society started to question the professional ethics of those nurses who gave up their duty and did think some deficiency showed in their formation of professional education, what are the criteria of “professional ethics” for making judgment in Taiwan society when an individual encounters an event of social issue? Does it follow the certain western principle that every individual has the same basic human “Rights”? Or it functions well as the Confucian principle of “Obligation” which is based on the core idea of Ren (Benevolence)?
In this research , the first study is based on the qualitative method which the researcher mainly gave an thorough interview respectively to the common people and nurses so as to understand the evaluation of the nurses’ “professional ethics” in Chinese society depends on whether the nurses obey the obligations defined by their feminine character of social role such as “Sacrifice”、”Dedication”. Such Obligations also are admitted by the nurses under the same situations.
The second study is to verify the result of Study I by means of quantitative approach that the researcher compares these two subjects’ response between the undergraduate students and the nursing students. The results shows that the ideal model of nurse for common undergraduate students is “The” nurse with self-sacrificed, no return (not asking money rewarding), disliking disputes, and peaceful temper；On the other hand, the nursing students would face serious conflicts that they expect themselves to fulfill the social anticipation, but can’t help thinking about their own rights, while they trap into this kind of dilemma between social responsibilities and individual rights.
This research is based on the observation on social events, and, through both analyses by the qualitative and quantitative methods, to find the best interpretation most close to the social facts.
