Spirituality or religion often presents as a foreign element to the clinical environment, and its language and reasoning can be a source of conflict there. As a result, the use of spirituality or religion by patients and families seems to be a solicitation that is destined to be unanswered and seems to open a distance between those who speak this language and those who do not. I argue that there are two promising approaches for engaging such language and helping patients and their families to productively engage in the decision-making process. First, patient-centered interviewing techniques can be employed to explore the patient's religious or spiritual beliefs and successfully translate them into choices. Second, and more radically, I suggest that in some more recalcitrant conflicts regarding treatment plans, resolution may require that clinicians become more involved, personally engaging in discussion and disclosure of religious and spiritual worldviews. I believe that both these approaches are supported by rich models of informed consent such as the transparency model and identify considerations and circumstances that can justify such personal disclosures. I conclude by offering some considerations for curbing potential unprofessional excesses or abuses in discussing spirituality and religion with patients. 相似文献

Immigrants lacking health insurance access the health care system through the emergency departments of non-profit hospitals.
Because these persons lack health insurance, continued care can pose challenges to those institutions. I analyze the values
of our health care institutions, utilizing a Walzerian approach that describes its appropriate sphere of justice. This particular
sphere is dominated by a caring response to need. I suggest that the logic of this sphere would be best preserved by providing
increased access to health insurance to this population. This access would marry the rights of these members of our community
to access care to our responsibility to contribute to financing of the system. I close with some considerations on what it
means to be a member of the community. 相似文献

Contemporary bioethics has been somewhat skewed by its focus on high-tech medicine and the resulting development of ethical frameworks based on an acute-care model of healthcare. Research and scholarship in bioethics have payed only cursory attention to ethical issues related to disability. I argue that bioethics should concern itself with the full range of theoretical and practical issues related to disability. This encounter with the disability community will enrich bioethics and, potentially, society as well. I suggest a number of items that the bioethics agenda should include, such as the development of a casuistry of the right to healthcare and to community integration and an advocacy role in fostering an understanding among the public and policy makers of the need to reform research and treatment related to disability. 相似文献

I explore the possible meanings that the notion of the common morality can have in a contemporary communitarian approach to
ethics and public policy. The common morality can be defined as the conditions for shared pursuit of the good or as the values,
deliberations, traditions, and common construction of the narrative of a people. The former sense sees the common morality
as the universal and invariant structures of morality while the second sense is much more contingent in nature. Nevertheless,
the communitarian sees both aspects as integral in devising solutions to public policy problems. I outline how both meanings
follow from communitarian philosophical anthropology and illustrate how they work together when addressing a question such
as that of providing universal health insurance in the United States. The common morality forms the basis of building an implicit
consensus that is available to and reaffirmed by the shared reflections of the citizenry. 相似文献
