Ethics and Bioethics

1.3K
Ethics is a philosophical study of moral actions. Ethics attempts to determine what is valuable for individuals and society. It examines the rational justification of moral judgments and analyzes what is morally just, fair, and right. Bioethics is a sub-discipline of applied ethics that analyzes the philosophical, social, and legal issues in life sciences and medicine. Ethical theories serve as a foundation for decision-making and represent the viewpoints from which people seek direction. They...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.5K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Principles of Disease Surveillance

69
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Infection01:20

Infection

7.7K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Infectious Diseases Ethics (IDE)

Background:

  • COVID-19 highlighted ethical challenges in infectious diseases.
  • Infectious diseases ethics (IDE) is an under-researched field.
  • Professionals' involvement in IDE needs further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the involvement and attitudes of infectious diseases professionals in IDE.
  • To identify key themes and determinants of IDE engagement.
  • To inform strategies for enhancing IDE education and practice.

Main Methods:

  • Global survey conducted in 2021-2022 with 477 participants from 71 countries.
  • Responses analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and regression models.
  • Data stratified by demographics, WHO region, income, and prior ethics training.

Main Results:

  • High interest in IDE themes (stigma, inequity, research integrity) was observed.
  • Only 5% reported sufficient bioethics training; 28% were dissatisfied.
  • Ethics training was associated with higher IDE interest and involvement.
  • Demographic factors (region, age, gender, role) influenced IDE engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Identified key IDE themes to address training and practice gaps.
  • Ethics training is crucial for increasing IDE interest and activity.
  • Recommended offering ethics training to integrate IDE into daily clinical practice worldwide.
