The Role of Medical Ethics in the Practices of Assisted Dying
An increasing number of countries worldwide are regulating practices of ‘assisted dying’, in particular (physician-) assisted suicide and euthanasia. While a huge amount of research has been conducted on the various ethical, legal, and social aspects of assisted dying, one issue stands out: the role of medical ethics expertise and ethics support in these practices has not yet been addressed in depth. Although laws and professional codes of practi…
Artificial Intelligence in Medical Care – Patients' Perceptions on Caregiving Relationships and Ethics: A Qualitative Study
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) offers several opportunities to enhance medical care, but practical application is limited. Consideration of patient needs is essential for the successful implementation of AI-based systems. Few studies have explored patients' perceptions, especially in Germany, resulting in insufficient exploration of perspectives of outpatients, older patients and patients with chronic diseases. We aimed to explore how…

Defining complementary and alternative medicine: Revisiting the Debate and Plea for a Strategy Based on Plausible Effectiveness
Discourse about Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is also controversial in several respects, including terminology. Understanding and using the term ‘CAM’ precisely remains necessary in some discussions. This article provides a contribution to a terminologically more reflected debate about CAM. Analytical methods are applied to analyse ‘CAM’ conceptually: reasons to define CAM are discussed, common definitions are critically analysed i…
From book to bedside? A critical perspective on the debate about “translational bioethics”
The concept of “translational bioethics” has received considerable attention in recent years. Most publications draw an analogy to translational medicine and describe bioethical research that aims at implementing and evaluating ethical interventions. However, current accounts of translational bioethics are often rather vague and seem to differ with regard to conceptual and methodological assumptions. It is not clear and scarcely analyzed what exa…
Climate-sensitive health counselling in Germany: A cross-sectional study about previous participation and preferences in the general public
Almost half of the participants in this sample would like to receive CSHC, especially those who are younger, more alarmed about CC and more politically oriented to the left. More research and training on patient-centred implementation of CSHC is needed
Efficacy of Three Numerical Presentation Formats on Lay People’s Comprehension and Risk Perception of Fact Boxes—A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
(1) Background: Fact boxes present the benefits and harms of medical interventions in the form of tables. Some studies suggest that people with a lower level of education could profit more from graphic presentations. The objective of the study was to compare three different formats in fact boxes with regard to verbatim and gist knowledge in general and according to the educational background. (2) Methods: In May 2020, recruitment started for this…
Public information needs and preferences on Covid-19: A cross-sectional study
There are extensive information needs regarding various aspects on COVID-19 among the general population. In addition, target-specific dissemination strategies are still needed to reach different groups
Relevance of a normative framework for evaluating the impact of clinical ethics support services in healthcare
Framework for evaluation research on clinical ethical case interventions: The role of ethics consultants
Evaluation of clinical ethical case consultations has been discussed as an important research task in recent decades. A rigid framework of evaluation is essential to improve quality of consultations and, thus, quality of patient care. Different approaches to evaluate those services appropriately and to determine adequate empirical endpoints have been proposed. A key challenge is to provide an answer to the question as to which empirical endpoints…
Types of Ethical Problems and Expertise in Clinical Ethics Consultation in Psychiatry – Insights From a Qualitative Empirical Ethics Study
Background: Ethics consultation has been advocated as a valuable tool in ethically challenging clinical situations in healthcare. It is paramount for the development and implementation of clinical ethics support services (CESS) in psychiatry that interventions can address the moral needs of mental health professionals adequately and communicate the nature of the services clearly. This study explores types of ethical problems and concepts of ethic…

Physician Assisted Suicide: Knowledge and Views of Fifth-Year Medical Students in Germany
Suicide and assisted suicide are not criminal acts in Germany. However, attempting suicide may create a legal duty for physicians to try to save a patient's life. This study presents data on medical students' legal knowledge and ethical views regarding physician assisted suicide (PAS). The majority of 85 respondents held PAS to be illegal. More than a third of the students viewed PAS in certain situations to be ethically acceptable whereas a smal…
