Abstract: Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence on the visibility of care ethics in the professional training of nursing from an Adventist philosophy perspective. Methodology: This study is a literature review. Information was sourced from online databases including Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL plus, MEDLINE (PubMed), Wiley, Lilacs, and Google Scholar. Selection criteria included original and review articles from 2009 to 2020. Thirty documents related to nursing philosophy and Christian philosophy were analyzed. Of these, 21 met the inclusion criteria, which highlighted the Adventist vision and worldview, the value of human life, care ethics, patient valuation, love for one's neighbor and God, who is the Creator, sustainer, and redeemer. Results: Nursing professionals who incorporate religion into their training adhere to care ethics. Adventist nursing philosophy focuses on the individual and their worldview, encompassing knowledge, logic, epistemology, action, and ethical values. Conclusions: The literature showed that the philosophy of Adventist nurses strengthens and magnifies professional practice. Adventist nursing bears witness to the practice of Christian principles and values throughout its training and professional practice, providing holistic care that covers physical, mental, social, and spiritual aspects.
