Abstract
Background Nursing students, the future nursing workforce, are expected to be exposed to ethically challenging situations in their workplaces, and they must be knowledgeable about patients' rights to provide holistic care. However, limited research was cited on the knowledge of nursing students regarding the Bill of Rights and the factors influencing their knowledge. Purpose This study aimed to assess nursing students' knowledge of the patients' bill of rights and determine what factors influence this knowledge in Saudi Arabia. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional research study was conducted with a convenience sample of nursing students (N = 210) in a Saudi nursing college. Data were collected using a questionnaire that consists of three parts: demographic characteristics, knowledge of the patients' bill of rights, and six open-ended and reflective questions. Descriptive statistics and response analysis are used. Results The statistics showed that the total knowledge score about patients' rights ranged from 19 to 34, with a mean of 26.11 ± 2.32, among nursing students. About two-thirds of students reported adequate knowledge (n = 118, 65.5%), compared to those who had inadequate knowledge (n = 62, 34.5%). In addition to academic level and age, students reflected on many factors that shape their ethical knowledge, such as integrated, interprofessional learning experiences, workshops, a supportive and ethical learning environment, and the presence of an ethical committee. Conclusion Continuous efforts to foster ethics education with inspiring learning content and innovative instructional material are vital to improving nursing students' knowledge and readiness. Interprofessional education (IPE) sessions and awareness programs are effective strategies to improve their ethical awareness and knowledge.

Abstract
Background: The ethics and value bases in healthcare are widely acknowledged. There is a need to improve and raise awareness of ethics in complex systems and in line with competing needs, different stakeholders and patients’ rights. Evidence-based strategies and interventions for the development of procedures and practice have been used to improve care and services. However, it is not known whether and to what extent ethics can be developed using interventions. Objectives: To examine ethics interventions conducted on healthcare professionals and healthcare students to achieve ethics-related outcomes. Research design: A systematic review. Methods: Five electronic databases were searched: CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, Philosopher’s Index, PubMed and PsycINFO. We searched for published articles written in English without a time limit using the keywords: ethic* OR moral* AND intervention OR program OR pre-post OR quasi-experimental OR rct OR experimental AND nurse OR nursing OR health care. In the four-phased retrieval process, 23 full texts out of 4675 citations were included in the review. Data were analysed using conventional content analysis. Ethical consideration: This systematic review was conducted following good scientific practice in every phase. Findings: It is possible to affect the ethics of healthcare practices through professionals and students. All the interventions were educational in type. Many of the interventions were related to the ethical or moral sensitivity of the professionals, such as moral courage and empowerment. A few of the interventions focused on identifying ethical problems or research ethics. Conclusion: Patient-related outcomes followed by organisational outcomes can be improved by ethics interventions targeting professionals. Such outcomes are promising in developing ethical safety for healthcare patients and professionals.
