Abstract

Objective: to analyze nurses' experiences with ethical standards in surgical settings. Method: systematic review, population of 15 articles. Conclusion: The analysis of nurses' lived experiences with ethical standards in surgical settings shows that, although ethical codes provide fundamental guidance for practice, their day-to-day application is profoundly influenced by contextual, cultural and professional factors. Nurses face ethical dilemmas related to rapid decision making in critical situations, patient safety, and the emotional management of patients and the surgical team itself. Experience and level of training play a crucial role in how these ethical principles are internalized and applied.
