Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Ethics
  • Clinical Practice Improvement
  • Organizational Learning

Background:

  • Ethics reflection groups (ERGs) are ethics support services designed to address complex ethical challenges in healthcare settings.
  • This study focuses on evaluating the significance of ERGs within Danish psychiatric and general hospital departments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the significance and impact of ethics reflection groups (ERGs) in Danish psychiatric and general hospitals.
  • To identify the benefits of ERGs for patients, clinicians, and ward managers.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative action research approach was employed.
  • Data collection involved 28 individual interviews and 4 focus groups with healthcare professionals.
  • Systematic text condensation and analysis of documented ethical challenges from ERGs were utilized.

Main Results:

  • A recurring ethical challenge identified was balancing patient autonomy, paternalism, professional, and institutional values.
  • Participants reported positive impacts of ERGs across three categories: patients, clinicians, and ward managers.
  • Benefits for patients were observed both directly (longer admissions) and indirectly (improved clinical practice for future patients).

Conclusions:

  • ERGs demonstrate positive significance and impact as interdisciplinary learning resources in healthcare.
  • ERGs contribute to individual learning, clinical practice development, and organizational improvement.
  • Further research is recommended to explore the impact of ERGs from patient and relative perspectives.
