Diminished or absent moral sensitivity can result in deficient care. In this context, assessing moral sensitivity is imperative for designing interventions to facilitate ethical practice and ensure that nurses make appropriate decisions. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title><jats:p> The main purpose of this study was to validate a scale for examining the moral sensitivity of Brazilian nurses. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Research design:<\/jats:title><jats:p> A pre-existing scale, the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire, which was developed by L\u00fctz\u00e9n, was used after the deletion of three items.
