Ethical Dilemmas I01:17

Ethical Dilemmas I

768
Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Anal

418
Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development describes the anal stage as occurring between 18 months and three years of age. During this period, children derive pleasure from controlling and releasing their bowel movements. However, they quickly learn that societal expectations impose restrictions on when and where this can happen. This stage marks a critical point where children begin to develop a sense of control and mastery over their bodily functions, as well as their broader...

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,...

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

32.3K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Child and Adolescent Mental Health
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Scrupulosity, defined as pathological guilt related to religion and morality, affects up to 33% of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
  • Prevalence and understanding of scrupulosity in youth are less understood, complicated by developmental factors, religious practices, and clinician inexperience.
  • Mental health providers, including pediatric clinicians, often lack knowledge and express apprehension regarding scrupulosity symptoms and treatments in youth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing literature on pediatric scrupulosity, including its unique challenges.
  • To describe evidence-based treatments for scrupulosity in pediatric populations.
  • To provide recommendations for clinical practice and future research.

Main Methods:

  • This study employed a narrative review methodology.
  • The review synthesized existing literature on pediatric scrupulosity.
  • Practice guidelines were developed based on the reviewed evidence.

Main Results:

  • The review identified significant challenges in diagnosing and treating pediatric scrupulosity due to its overlap with religious beliefs and developmental factors.
  • Existing literature highlights a need for increased clinician awareness and training regarding scrupulosity in youth.
  • Evidence-based treatment strategies, adapted from adult OCD protocols, show promise for pediatric populations.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric scrupulosity is a significant concern within obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) that requires specialized attention.
  • Addressing clinician apprehension and enhancing knowledge are crucial for effective intervention.
  • Evidence-based treatments, when appropriately applied, can effectively manage scrupulosity symptoms in children and adolescents.
