Findings showed that moral courage has a strong and direct correlation with moral sensitivity (p < .001, r = 0-.70) and safe nursing care (p < .001, r = 0-.74). Variables of moral sensitivity, safe nursing care, work experience, age and employment status can predict 64.76% of the variance in moral courage in these nurses.
