Abstract:
The consensus recommendations by Salter and colleagues (2023) regarding pediatric decision-making intentionally omitted adolescents due to the additional complexity their evolving autonomy presented. Using two case studies, one focused on truth-telling and disclosure and one focused on treatment refusal, this article examines medical decision-making with and for adolescents in the context of the six consensus recommendations. It concludes that the consensus recommendations could reasonably apply to older children.
摘要:
Salter及其同事(2023)关于儿科决策的共识建议故意忽略了青少年,因为他们不断发展的自主性带来了额外的复杂性。使用两个案例研究,一个专注于说实话和披露,一个专注于拒绝治疗,本文在六项共识建议的背景下,研究了与青少年的医疗决策。报告的结论是,协商一致的建议可以合理地适用于年龄较大的儿童。
