Background & Aims Nurses constitute one of the largest groups of healthcare professionals. In hospital environments, the occurrence of various conflicts and challenges is considered a natural and inevitable aspect of the workplace, which can directly affect the efficiency of healthcare systems. As a result, the need for interdisciplinary collaboration becomes increasingly important. Studies indicate that experienced and well-trained nurses can manage and reduce workplace conflicts through adherence to professional ethics. One of the key components of professional ethics is moral sensitivity. Considering the assumption that moral sensitivity may influence the way occupational conflicts are managed, this study aimed to determine the relationship between conflict management and moral sensitivity among nurses working at Amir-al Momenin Hospital in Gerash, Iran, in 2023.
Materials & Methods This research was a cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study. Data were collected using the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire and the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory-II (ROCI-II, 1983) from 220 nurses employed at Amir-al Momenin Hospital in Gerash in 2023. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS software version 26.
Results A total of 220 completed questionnaires were collected and analyzed. The findings revealed a significant relationship between moral sensitivity and all subscales of conflict management among nurses. Nurses’ moral sensitivity was not significantly associated with their workplace unit and job responsibilities in the hospital.
Conclusion Moral sensitivity is closely related to conflict management styles among nurses, but it not significantly influenced by their workplace unit and job responsibilities. These findings emphasize the need for tailored educational and organizational strategies to strengthen moral sensitivity and enhance constructive conflict management in nursing practice.
