Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Quite frequently, ethical problems in clinical settings cannot be addressed by the simple application of good will, hard work and perseverance by medical personnel. However, clear guidelines (legal, ministerial, or governmental) outlining the expectations for clinical ethics do not exist. The medical personnel assigned to the case all face deep ethical dilemmas. In these instances, if the fulfillment of ‘ethics’ relies solely on the capacity of personnel to apply their own individual moral efforts, the result will be burn-out among these workers who have a high sense of responsibility. In order to avoid this, a system which comprises multiple physicians, nurses, and other personnel must be established, allowing for collaboration when an appropriate response is required. A main component supporting this approach is the offering of Clinical Ethics Consultations.
