Scientific Sessions

Nursing Ethics, Legal Aspects, and Patient Advocacy

Nursing Ethics, Legal Aspects, and Patient Advocacy are at the heart of what it means to be a professional nurse. At the 5th Edition of the World Nursing Research Conference, we'll highlight how these guiding principles shape nursing practice, grounding decisions in respect, dignity, autonomy, and what is best for patients. Nurses must also navigate essential legal responsibilities like licensure, informed consent, accurate documentation, and accountability. Patient advocacy involves standing up for individuals' rights and ensuring that everyone receives safe, fair, and respectful care. Together, these elements empower nurses not only to care deeply but also to champion ethical and just healthcare in a complex and diverse world.

It will address key areas, including ethical decision-making, obtaining informed consent, safeguarding confidentiality, and accurate documentation. Participants will learn strategies for navigating challenging situations, minimizing errors, and advocating effectively on behalf of vulnerable patients. The session emphasizes how ethical and legal principles guide nurses in providing compassionate, accountable, and equitable care.
