Abstract: (1200 Views)
Moral intelligence encompasses an individual's ability to discern right from wrong, possess ethical values, and demonstrate ethical behavior in practice. Clinical competence, a crucial aspect of nursing practice, encompasses a combination of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, including adherence to ethical principles. This systematic review aimed to investigate the relationship between moral intelligence and clinical competence among nurses and nursing students. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using keywords related to "moral intelligence," "clinical competence," "nurses," and "nursing students" in major international databases, including Web of Science Core Collection, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar, as well as national databases such as Irandoc, SID, and Magiran. The search included publications in Persian and English with no time limitations. After removing duplicates and screening the initial 150 identified studies, five studies met the inclusion criteria. Ethical considerations, including minimizing bias in the selection, extraction, and analysis of evidence, were adhered to throughout the review process. The abstract adheres to PRISMA guidelines for reporting systematic reviews. The review revealed a significant positive correlation between moral intelligence and clinical competence across various dimensions. Studies demonstrated that higher levels of moral intelligence were associated with improved clinical competence, including ethical reasoning and clinical self-efficacy. Factors such as age, work experience, educational status, and individual rank were found to influence this relationship. Additionally, some studies indicated that moral intelligence could predict clinical competence scores, while others demonstrated that it could be a significant predictor of clinical competence alongside other factors such as Grade Point Average (GPA). This systematic review provides evidence for a significant positive relationship between moral intelligence and clinical competence among nurses and nursing students. Enhancing moral intelligence through targeted educational interventions can contribute to improved clinical competence and ultimately enhance the quality of patient care. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating educational programs designed to enhance moral intelligence in nursing education and practice.
