The goal of this survey was to compare similarities and differences between two groups of pediatric nurses, a group from developing countries and a group from Israel, in confronting ethical issues and in the use of resources for support. Findings indicate similarities between the two groups in a majority of ethical situations that concern them in their work despite differences in cultural backgrounds.
