    Main Results:

    • Autonomy and beneficence are often in conflict when making medical decisions for adolescents.
    • The application of each principle depends on the specific clinical context, the adolescent's maturity, and the nature of the medical intervention.
    • Shared decision-making models can help navigate these ethical complexities.

    Conclusions:

    • Ethical decision-making in adolescent healthcare requires careful consideration of both autonomy and beneficence.
    • A nuanced approach is necessary to respect adolescent self-determination while ensuring their well-being.
    • Further research into practical ethical guidelines for pediatric and adolescent care is warranted.
