Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Medical Ethics
  • Translational Research

Background:

  • A significant gap exists between ethical norms and current biomedical/technological practices.
  • Translational bioethics aims to bridge this gap, but a structured approach is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a methodological framework for translational bioethics, termed "transformative medical ethics."
  • To provide a structured process for aligning medical practice with ethical requirements.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a 6-phase, 12-step translational framework.
  • Integrated conceptual philosophical inquiry and socio-empirical research.
  • Illustrated the framework using the ethical norm of respect for autonomy in medical decision-making.

Main Results:

  • The framework serves as a heuristic tool to identify barriers to ethical practice change.
  • It guides the development, implementation, and evaluation of ethically informed practice models.
  • Demonstrated its utility in addressing the ought-is gap in healthcare.

Conclusions:

  • The transformative medical ethics framework offers a strategic process for ethically informed practice change.
  • Further research is needed to refine the framework and evaluate its effectiveness across diverse practice areas.
