Healthcare workers with a family member diagnosed with Covid-19 had high ethical sensitivity in the dimension of conflict (p = 0.008), while those who reported being fully competent and ready (p = 0.038) about Covid-19 were found to have low ethical sensitivity. Besides, those who experienced inadequate supplies (p = 0.045), long working hours (p = 0.038), and problems in asepsis\u2013sterilization (p = 0.046) during the Covid-19 pandemic were found to have low sensitivity in the holistic approach dimension.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study revealed that ethical issues during the Covid-19 pandemic, sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge-skills about Covid-19, and the problems encountered in the work environment during the pandemic affect the ethical sensitivity of healthcare workers in the dimensions of conflict and holistic approach. Therefore, it is recommended that governments and all healthcare workers, and stakeholders in the health system in our country and other countries take action to promote ethical sensitivity in response to the rapidly increasing epidemic by considering the factors that adversely affect ethical sensitivity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/09697330211003231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]],"date-time":"2021-04-29T03:32:00Z","timestamp":1619667120000},"page":"1124-1136","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["The effect of Covid-19 on ethical sensitivity"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8123-2211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Selda","family":"Mert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Kocaeli University, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aylin Aydin","family":"Sayilan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kirklareli University, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ayfer Peker","family":"Karatoprak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Canan","family":"Baydemir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kocaeli University, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"bibr1-09697330211003231","first-page":"122","volume":"6","author":"Yal\u00e7\u0131nkaya E","year":"2019","journal-title":"T\u00fcrk Biyoetik Derg"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr2-09697330211003231","first-page":"139","volume":"5","author":"Ak\u0131n Paland\u00f6ken E","year":"2020","journal-title":"\u0130zmir Katip \u00c7elebi \u00dcniv Sa\u011fl\u0131k Bilimleri Fak Derg"},{"key":"bibr3-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0969733020901830"},{"key":"bibr4-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp2005492"},{"key":"bibr5-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hast.1110"},{"key":"bibr6-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/inr.12598"},{"key":"bibr7-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.31744\/einstein_journal\/2020AE5775"},{"key":"bibr8-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0969733020956733"},{"key":"bibr9-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMp2005689"},{"key":"bibr10-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMsb2005114"},{"key":"bibr11-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13613-020-00702-7"},{"key":"bibr12-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.5046"},{"key":"bibr13-09697330211003231","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15265161.2020.1764138"},{"key":"bibr14-09697330211003231","unstructured":"The Hastings Center.
