Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of ethical factors (ethical climate, moral distress, and moral sensitivity) on turnover intention among haemodialysis nurses. The results showed a significant association between moral distress related to physician practice (beta = 0.310, p = .001) and ethical climate related to the hospital climate (beta = - 0.253, p = .003) and manager (beta = - 0.191, p = .024) in the final regression model. All subdomains related to moral sensitivity were not statistically significant.

Summary: This paper examines the quality and usefulness of ethical guidance for humanitarian aid workers and their organizations, particularly in the context of public health emergencies. The study reveals a disconnect between ethical guidance and the actual experiences of frontline workers, and highlights the potential gap between those who produce ethical guidelines and those who face real-time challenges on the ground. It suggests the existence of epistemic control and the imposition of theoretical preoccupations on frontline humanitarian practice.
