Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.
Ethical Concerns in Healthcare:

The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...

Ethical Dilemmas I01:17

Ethical Dilemmas I

Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...
Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Primary Care Research
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Continuity of care is a cornerstone of family medicine, fostering long-term patient relationships and improving health outcomes.
  • Understanding how trainees perceive and value continuity of care is crucial for effective medical education and practice development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the influence of continuity of care on family physician trainees.
  • To compare the perspectives of established family physicians, physicians in episodic care, and family medicine trainees on continuity of care.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of semistructured focus group interviews.
  • Seven focus groups were conducted with established family physicians, physicians in episodic care, and family medicine trainees in Southeastern Ontario.
  • Constant comparative analysis was used to identify themes related to the value of continuity of care.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences emerged in how relationship continuity and informational continuity were valued across the three physician groups.
  • Experienced family physicians emphasized long-term relationships, while episodic care physicians prioritized informational continuity.
  • Family medicine trainees valued efficiency and patient recognition, but experienced greater distress with difficult patient interactions compared to experienced physicians.

Conclusions:

  • Varying perceptions, practice settings, and acquired skills influence the valuation of continuity of care among physicians.
  • These differences may impact career trajectories and practice decisions for family medicine trainees.
