Abstract：
Veterinary team members encounter a wide range of ethically challenging situations (ECS) in their work. Inability to resolve ECS in accordance with their values may negatively impact the wellbeing of veterinary team members. We sought to determine the types of ECS described in published ethical vignettes in the veterinary literature. We performed a strategic literature search, followed by a thematic analysis of vignettes published in the veterinary literature from 1990-2020. We identified 567 published vignettes in 544 publications. In the majority of vignettes, the protagonist was a veterinarian (61.6%) and the most common categories of animal involved were dogs (28.0%), livestock in general (10.8%), and cattle (10.6%). The primary type of ECS was coded for each scenario, generating 29 themes. These findings extend knowledge about types of ECS that may be encountered by veterinary team members. These themes can help to inform curricula and better prepare veterinary team members to navigate ECS. They may also highlight factors that contribute to ECS that can be addressed on a broad scale, such as through regulation, continuing professional development, or stakeholder education. Knowing that others may experience similar ECS may help veterinary team members feel part of a moral community.
摘要：
兽医团队成员在工作中遇到各种各样的道德挑战性情况（ECS）。无法根据其价值观解决ECS可能会对兽医团队成员的健康产生负面影响。我们试图确定兽医文献中已发表的伦理小插图中描述的ECS类型。我们进行了战略文献检索，随后是1990-2020年兽医文献中发表的小插曲的主题分析。我们在544种出版物中确定了567种已发表的插图。在大多数小插曲中，主角是兽医（61.6％），最常见的动物类别是狗（28.0％），牲畜总体(10.8%)，和牛(10.6%)。为每个场景编码了ECS的主要类型，产生29个主题。这些发现扩展了有关兽医团队成员可能遇到的ECS类型的知识。这些主题可以帮助告知课程，并更好地准备兽医团队成员浏览ECS。它们还可能突出有助于ECS的因素，这些因素可以广泛解决，例如通过监管，持续的专业发展，或利益相关者教育。知道其他人可能会经历类似的ECS可能会帮助兽医团队成员感受到道德社区的一部分。
