对道德原则和价值观的关注不仅限于卫生专业人员。然而，护理伦理原则作为社会控制的安全阀，以防止职业不端行为和滥用客户的权利。由于殖民经验，博茨瓦纳等发展中国家通常会效仿欧洲，特别是英国的榜样。本文探讨了在博茨瓦纳，在撒哈拉以南非洲的发展中国家与农村护理实践的伦理问题和困境。已查明的主要伦理问题与农村社区卫生资源的分配和获取有关。建议护士必须通过与政府和其他专业机构合作，在获取和分配领域承担责任，护士作为一个全球社区必须作为一个团队相互支持。
The concern for ethical principles and values is not limited to health professionals alone. However, ethical principles in nursing act as safety valves for social control to prevent professional misconduct and abuse of the rights of clients. As a result of colonial experience, developing countries like Botswana usually follow the European lead, especially examples from the UK. This article examines the ethical problems and dilemmas associated with rural nursing practice in Botswana, a developing country in sub-Saharan Africa. The major ethical problems identified are related to the distribution of and access to health resources in rural communities. It is proposed that nurses must assume responsibility in the field of access and allocation by working collaboratively with governments and other professional bodies, and that nurses as a global community must work together as a team to support each other.
