There are evidences that ethical self-concept is one of effective factors to ethical decision making in clinical setting. Regarding to the lack of study in the moral self-concept and the highlighted role of this variable in ethical decision making we have decided to do this re-search.This research is a sectional descriptive study with the purpose of survey the degree of nurse’s ethical self-concept who is employed in didactic hospitals dependent to the Medical Science University of Zahedan.

The results showed that fairly positive attitudes and perception were found amongst the participants, and nurses’ attitudes, in general, were positively correlated to their perception toward nursing advocacy. This means that with an improvement in perception, the attitude would also improve. In addition to our findings, it seems that these nurses needed more advocacy educational programs and support from responsible employers.
