The aim of this study is to investigate attitudes on decisions to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatments in critically ill children in Swedish intensive care units. This is a survey among pediatric critical care physicians.
In conclusion, understanding the variables influencing ethical decision-making among nursing students is crucial for developing interventions to minimize moral distress and promoting their ability to cope with ethical issues and dilemmas. While acknowledging the existence of ethical challenges, it is noteworthy that there is a dearth of studies investigating the intricate relationship between ethical sensitivity and the development of professional identity among nursing students. This research aims to fill this gap, advancing our understanding and providing valuable insights for shaping effective educational practices. In this improvement, the research problem is clearly stated: the need to explore the relationship between ethical sensitivity and professional identity among nursing students, with a call for further research to bridge the existing gap. In light of the identified research gap regarding the correlation between ethical sensitivity and the development of professional identity among nursing students, this study seeks to answer the following question: How does ethical sensitivity influence the formation of professional identity in nursing students within the context of contemporary healthcare environments, characterized by evolving technology and complex health systems?
Under the impetus of governing bodies, learned societies, hospital management, CPPs, etc., clinical research has developed and structured considerably, in order to provide the medical community and patients with the most appropriate care, and to formulate recommendations. In anesthesia, clinical research evaluates drugs, medical devices or care pathways. However, the general public's perception of this research in our specialty remains confidential. Several studies carried out in oncology have shown limited interest in research on the part of the general public and patients, and more often than not a lack of awareness of ethical laws and the role of french ethics committee (CPP). By means of an anonymous questionnaire handed out at the anesthesia consultation, the investigators would like to assess patients' level of knowledge of clinical research in anesthesia, and find out how they feel about the possibility of being included in a trial.
Given the continuing ethical problems faced by physiotherapists, improving their students' ethical competence is relevant. The development of ethical decision-making skills is particularly important for students preparing to enter professional health careers like physiotherapy. According to the Bologna process, the education of physiotherapists includes the cultivation of relevant generic/transversal competencies, including ethical competence. To achieve this, diverse teaching, learning, assessment, and feedback strategies are necessary and helpful in facilitating the acquisition of these competencies. The physiotherapist needs to carry out ethics efficiently through ethical reasoning and critical thinking to develop ethical decision-making abilities. Active learning methods allow us to get students to follow the highest ethical standards and successfully manage ethical situations in the workplace. Despite some studies showing physiotherapists have a deficit in clinical practice ethics. However, there is a lack of research focusing on online learning (OL) physiotherapy ethics education, and studies of review on mixed health professionals many times do not include physiotherapy studies. Considering this, the primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an OL program in developing ethical competence in physiotherapy students. Specifically, the study aims to evaluate the impact of the program on generic competences, knowledge acquisition, ethical sensitivity, engagement, and instructional design within the OL environment.
Most patients who die in the intensive care unit do so after a withholding or withdrawing of life sustaining treatments (WWLST) decision. The implementation of formalized interdisciplinary team meetings for ethical deliberation in the ICU may improve nurses participation in WWLST decisions. The investigators decided to implement such team meetings in their ICU. At this occasion, the investigators will measure job satisfaction, job related frustration and ethical decision making climate climate.
The XPHI-COVID-2 randomized study aims to investigate the moral choices in a context of scarce resources. The participants are asked to complete the questionnaire of the Oxford Utilitarianism Scale and are exposed to medical triage dilemmas. Participants are randomized between a group with reading of ethical guidelines and a group without reading of ethical guidelines, before they are asked to complete the questionnaire and being exposed to triage dilemmas.
Porcine derived products are being used as biological grafts in mainly in orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery and general surgery. It is well known that consuming pork or porcine products are prohibited in some religions or divisions of religions. It may be a tender point for patients undergoing surgery in which porcine derived products are utilized.In this survey study we aimed to determine the level of awareness and perception of surgeons with an international anquette. The study will also reveal the choices of surgeons about this issue both in elective and emergency procedures
In this study, a prospective, multicenter, randomized, and controlled trial will be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of an audio and animated cartoon questionnaire (AACQ) at improving child understanding and enhancing a positive attitude to participate in biospecific nonspecimen specimen donation.
In 2014, the authors conducted a survey of key opinion leaders on ethical resuscitation practices in 31 European Countries. The authors administered a comprehensive questionnaire to 1-2 ʺexpertsʺ from each country; subjectivity-related bias could not be excluded; however, the questionnaire was actually administered twice over a 6-month period to all participants, in order to confirm results' reproducibility. The questionnaire spanned across the following 4 domains: A: ethical practices (41 questions); B: access to best available care (39 questions); C: death diagnosis and organ donation (22 questions); and D: emergency care organization (40 questions). Accordingly, a 142-point scoring system of the responses of the participants was developed. Country-specific scores varied widely [e.g. score range of 1-41 for the ethical practices (domain A), and of 9-32 for emergency care organization (domain D)]. The authors also found a significant association between domain A and domain D scores (r2 = 0.42, P < 0.001). The results of the 2014 survey highlighted variability across European countries in their approach to the ethics of resuscitation/end-of-life care. Results also indicated the presence of substantial need for improvements in all the aforementioned domains of practice and emergency care organization On the other hand, such evolution should be substantially augmented and accelerated by the above-described combination of new guidelines, RCT-based support of ACP, legislation / governmental policies, and educational activities. With this study the authors undertake a methodologically improved version of the 2014 survey, in order to test the following hypotheses: 1) compared to 2014, there may be significant improvements in overall domain A to D scores for 2019, reflecting improved quality of ethical practice in the field of resuscitation/end-of-life care; 2) such progress, may be more marked in countries with ʺlowʺ (i.e. below-average) domain A to D scores for 2014.
