Ethical Issues01:27

Ethical Issues

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:
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...
Obedience01:08

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation, obedience...
Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Methods of Documentation V: CBE

Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...
Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Philosophy of Science
  • Mental Health Studies

Background:

  • The dominance of biomedical evidence-based practice in healthcare.
  • Critiques of biomedical notions of evidence as exclusive and limiting.
  • Persistence of biomedical paradigms despite social constructionist challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To queer evidence-based practice by deconstructing evidence, knowledge, and mental illness.
  • To utilize queer theory to challenge biomedical normativity and address marginalization in mental health.
  • To explore a relational, entangled approach to knowledge that integrates biomedical, constructionist, and queer perspectives.

Main Methods:

  • Deconstructing the concept of 'evidence' within healthcare narratives.
  • Applying queer theory to analyze normativity and marginalization in mental health.
  • Utilizing Deleuzian rhizome metaphor for a relational knowledge approach.
  • Examining the body as a site of knowing within different discourses.

Main Results:

  • Biomedical notions of evidence remain largely intact despite critiques.
  • Queer theory offers tools to disrupt norms and highlight marginalization.
  • A 'both/and' approach is proposed, integrating diverse knowledge systems.
  • Queer knowledge celebrates difference and disrupts taken-for-granted norms.

Conclusions:

  • Queering evidence-based practice is essential for social justice in mental health.
  • Challenging power relations in knowledge production is crucial.
  • New intersections for understanding mental health knowledge can emerge through diverse perspectives.
