Ethical principles serve as the moral compass in the longstanding tradition of nursing, guiding healthcare professionals in their interactions with patients and families. These principles, namely autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, provide a robust framework for navigating the ethical complexities of daily nursing practice.
Autonomy
Autonomy underscores the significance of a patient's self-determination and freedom from external control. In healthcare, respecting...

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.
Initially, Mr. John's...

Area of Science:

  • Risk analysis
  • Regulatory science
  • Public health
  • Animal sciences

Background:

  • Risk assessment and management are crucial for evaluating human, environmental, and animal health risks.
  • Ethical considerations in risk decision-making have been historically under-addressed.
  • Existing frameworks lack comprehensive ethical guidance for risk evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elaborate fundamental ethical principles for fair, balanced, and equitable risk-based decision-making.
  • To develop an integrated risk decision-making model incorporating ethical considerations.
  • To enhance awareness and application of ethics in health risk identification, assessment, and management.

Main Methods:

  • Convened experts and global thinkers from risk, health, regulatory, and animal sciences.
  • Utilized a participatory and knowledge translation approach.
  • Developed and applied an integrated model using contemporary risk and regulatory contexts.

Main Results:

  • Developed ten core ethical principles: autonomy, minimize harm, maintain respect and trust, adaptability, reduce disparities, holistic, fair and just, open and transparent, stakeholder engagement, and One Health lens.
  • Demonstrated the relevance of public sector values and moral norms to risk decision-making.
  • The principles provide a framework for ethical risk evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • Ethical principles are essential for robust and equitable risk decision-making.
  • The proposed principles offer practical guidance for risk assessors, managers, and decision-makers.
  • Increased awareness and application of ethics can improve health risk management outcomes.
