Deontology, care, and virtues: The ethics of patient care in terms of unseen compassion
Type de matériel :
22
Many patients rank compassion as one of the most desirable qualities among health professionals. However, healthcare providers never officially identify it as a formal skill. This should provoke concern, and rightly so. But, how does this quality relate to the ethics of caregivers? If the ethical deontological model has failed to bring about its emergence when explicitly required, is the model to blame? What about other models? We investigate whether the ethical approaches of deontology, care, and virtues include compassion in patient care. The aim is to explore how compassion allows us to learn from these different conceptions, helping guide the conduct of health professionals and vice versa.
