	Principles of Clinical Ethics and Their Application to Practice Varkey, B. Medical Principles and Practice (2021) CC Open external link (215) Add to my MEDBOX Med Princ Pract 2021;30:17–28 An overview of ethics and clinical ethics is presented in this review. The 4 main ethical principles, that is beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice, are defined and explained. Informed consent, truth-telling, and confidentiality spring from the principle of autonomy, and each of them is discussed. In patient care situations, not infrequently, there are conflicts between ethical principles (especially between beneficence and autonomy). A four-pronged systematic approach to ethical problem-solving and several illustrative cases of conflicts are presented. Comments following the cases highlight the ethical principles involved and clarify the resolution of these conflicts. A model for patient care, with caring as its central element, that integrates ethical aspects (intertwined with professionalism) with clinical and technical expertise desired of a physician is illustrate Tags: ethics, conflict of ethics, principles, study, healthcare, Source: https://www.karger.com/Article/Pdf/50911

	The Role of Empathy in Health and Social Care Professionals - Review Moudatsou, M.; A. Stavropoulou, A. Philalidis, et al. Healthcare Journal (2020) CC Open external link (129) Add to my MEDBOX Healthcare 2020, 8(1), 26; https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare8010026 The current article is an integrative and analytical literature review on the concept and meaning of empathy in health and social care professionals. Empathy, i.e., the ability to understand the personal experience of the patient without bonding with them, constitutes an important communication skill for a health professional, one that includes three dimensions: the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral. It has been proven that health professionals with high levels of empathy operate more efficiently as to the fulfillment of their role in eliciting therapeutic change.The empathetic professional comprehends the needs of the health care users, as the latter feel safe to express the thoughts and problems that concern them. Although the importance of empathy is undeniable, a significantly high percentage of health professionals seem to find it difficult to adopt a model of empathetic communication in their everyday practice. Some of the factors that negatively influence the development of empathy are the high number of patients that professionals have to manage, the lack of adequate time, the focus on therapy within the existing academic culture, but also the lack of education in empathy. Developing empathetic skills should not only be the underlying objective in the teaching process of health and social care undergraduate students, but also the subject of the lifelong and continuous education of professional Tags: nurses, Health Workers, healthcare, empathy, communication skills, study, practice, health care users, Source: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/8/1/26/pd
	Ethics - Practice Standard College of Nurses of Ontario (2019) CC View PDF(19) Download (22) Add to my MEDBOX This document describes the ethical values that are most important to the nursing profession in Ontario. It also provides scenarios of ethical situations in which there is a conflict of values. Nurses are encouraged to use these scenarios for reflection and discussion. No solutions are offered because there is no one solution that is best in all situations. The behavioural directives are intended to help nurses work through ethical situations and provide information about the College of Nurses of Ontario’s (CNO’s) expectations for ethical conduct. These are taken into account when CNO Committees assess nurses’ practices. Nurses need to consider behavioural directives carefully when making decisions about ethical care as this process will strengthen their practice Tags: Ethics, nurses, Health Workers, nursing profession, behavior, healthcare, Source: https://www.cno.org/globalassets/docs/pr

	Medical Ethics and Bedside Rationing in Low‐Income Countries: Challenges and Opportunities Kapiriri, L. ResearchGate (2017) CC Open external link (172) Add to my MEDBOX Bioethics - Medical, Ethical and Legal Perspectives There’s evidence that implementing the four medical ethics principles may be challenging especially in low income country contexts with extreme resource scarcity and limited capacity to facilitate deliberations on the different ethical dilemmas. These challenges can partly be explained by the social, economic, and political contexts in which the decisions are made, as well as the limited time, training and guidance to facilitate ethical decision making. Based on current literature, and using the example of bedside rationing; this chapter synthesizes the challenges clinicians face when operationalizing the four principle; identifying the opportunities to address them. We suggest that clinicians’ ability to implement the four principles are constrained by meso‐ and macro‐level decision making as well as their lack of training, explicit guidelines, and peer support. To ameliorate this situation, current efforts to strengthen the clinicians’ capacity to make ethical decisions should be complimented with developing of context relevant guidelines for ethical clinical decision making. The renewed global commitment to the sustainable development goals and universal healthcare coverage should be recognized as an opportunity to leverage resources and champion the integration of equity and justice as a core value in resource allocation at the bedside, meso-, macro- and global levels Tags: Ethics, medical ethics, low-income countries, challenges, opportunities, healthcare, Health Workers, clinical care, bedside rationing, Source: https://www.researchgate.net/publication
