Abstract
A part of the residents of nursing homes drink alcohol. This regularly leads to moral questions and discussions. An explorative qualitative study has been done to gather insight into the experiences and views of residents and staff regarding alcohol consumption in nursing homes. Aim of this publication was to support care professionals in nursing homes to deal with moral challenges related to alcohol consumption. With interviews and a focus group with residents and staff, experiences, values and moral dilemmas were collected. While residents viewed alcohol consumption as a private matter, opinions of staff were not uniform. Staff is confronted with various moral questions based on different values, such as Respect for Autonomy, Quality of Life, Authenticity and (collective) Safety. This study advises staff to use the value scheme in case of concrete moral questions as a tool to careful analyse which values and norms are at stake and balance what could be an appropriate response.
