Abstract

Patients and family members (N = 671) were surveyed in five Mid-Atlantic U.S. hospitals to ascertain the number and kinds of ethical concerns they are presently experiencing or have previously experienced while being sick or receiving medical care. Seventy percent of participants had at least one (range 0-14) type of ethical concern or question. The most commonly experienced concerns pertained to being unsure how to plan ahead or complete an advance directive (29.4%), being unsure whether someone in the family was able to make their own decisions (29.2%), deciding about limiting life-sustaining treatments (28.6%), wondering about disclosing personal medical information to others in the family (26.4%) and not being sure whether to undergo treatment because of cost (26.2%). Most were interested to some degree in getting help from ethics consultants in the future (76.6%). Given this prevalence, common concerns might usefully be addressed systematically, rather than exclusively on a case-by-case basis.

患者和家庭成员在疾病或医疗护理期间产生的道德问题。
患者和家庭成员(N = 671)在美国大西洋中部的五家医院接受了调查,以确定他们目前或之前在生病或接受医疗护理时所经历的道德问题的数量和种类。70%的参与者至少有一种(范围0-14)类型的道德问题。最常见的担忧是不确定如何提前计划或完成预先指示(29.4%),不确定家庭中的某个人是否能够做出自己的决定(29.2%),决定限制维持生命的治疗(28.6%),想知道是否向家庭中的其他人透露个人医疗信息(26.4%),并且由于费用原因不确定是否接受治疗(26.2%)。大多数人在一定程度上对未来获得道德顾问的帮助感兴趣(76.6%)。鉴于这种普遍性,系统地解决常见问题可能是有益的,而不是仅根据具体情况。
