Abstract:
This commentary reflects on twelve stories of participants in clinical ethics consultations from the perspective of family members, some of whom are ethics consultants, and healthcare professionals. Together they reveal expectations of ethics consultations and suggest descriptions of the service. Some common themes emerge, including the role of the clinical ethics consultant in navigating complex situations, assuring all stake-holder voices are heard, attending to moral distress, addressing issues that seem beyond medical practice, and being accessible. They are almost uniformly positive about the experience, with criticism primarily about lack of access to the service.
摘要:
这篇评论从家庭成员的角度反映了临床伦理咨询参与者的十二个故事,其中一些是道德顾问,和医疗保健专业人员。他们共同揭示了对道德咨询的期望,并提出了对服务的描述。出现了一些共同的主题,包括临床伦理顾问在驾驭复杂情况中的作用,确保所有利益相关者的声音都被听到,参加道德困境,解决似乎超出医疗实践的问题,并且可以访问。他们对这次经历几乎一致肯定,批评主要是关于缺乏对服务的访问。
