Abstract

This study, prepared with the compilation method, aims to examine whether “dilemmas” are experienced regarding the phenomenon of “ethics”. The scope of this study is limited to reviewing the opinions in the literature on whether “dilemmas” are experienced regarding the phenomenon of ethics in health services. The research problem is presented as “Are ethical dilemmas experienced in health services?”. While the research hypothesis is structured as “ethical dilemmas are experienced in health services”. The findings obtained with the ‘compilation’ method used in the study show that “ethical dilemmas are experienced in health services”. In the study, instead of a limited number of data sources, the views obtained from very different, and many data sources were brought together to make our research original. Thus, protection was provided against the excessive influence of the findings obtained from a limited number of studies on the reader, or even the overlooking of important perspectives. It is thought that the original dimension of this study that can contribute to the literature may be at the point of “the necessity of a transformational attitude in coping with ethical dilemmas”.
