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,...

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Gerontology
  • Ethics

Background:

  • Personal hygiene is vital for independent living in older adults and individuals with disabilities.
  • The ICT Supported Bath Robots (I-SUPPORT) project is developing an intelligent robotic shower system to promote independent showering.
  • This technology aims to support individuals in home and institutional settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify ethical issues in the development of a robotic shower system.
  • To utilize the Model for the Ethical Evaluation of Socio-technical Arrangements (MEESTAR) for ethical assessment.
  • To analyze the ethical implications of assistive robotic technology in personal care.

Main Methods:

  • A user-centered requirements analysis and usability testing were employed.
  • Focus groups with 14 older adults and 9 professional caregivers were conducted.
  • The MEESTAR model was used as a heuristic approach to analyze socio-technical arrangements and ethical problems.

Main Results:

  • The MEESTAR procedure was adapted for the specific research question and client groups, functioning as a discursive method.
  • The analysis provided insights into the meaning and background of ethical aspects related to the robotic shower.
  • Deeper understanding of nursing processes and system requirements was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • The study successfully identified ethical considerations for the robotic shower system.
  • Ethical dimensions require careful consideration and clear communication, as they are not always intuitive.
  • Future work includes developing and piloting a standardized assessment instrument for ethical evaluation.
