Abstract Background While the theoretical benefits and harms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been widely discussed in academic literature, empirical evidence remains elusive regarding practical ethical challenges developing AI for healthcare. Bridging gap between theory practice is an essential step understanding how to ethically align Therefore, this research examines concerns perceived by experts that addresses healthcare context needs. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has only partially (or not at all) been integrated into medical education, leading to growing concerns regarding how train healthcare practitioners handle the changes brought about by introduction of AI. Programming lessons and other technical information curricula proposed as a solution support personnel in using AI or future technology. However, integrating these core elements computer science knowledge might meet observed need that students will benefit from...
While Canadian maternal mortality rates suggest widespread access to high-quality care, perinatal health care outcomes and experiences among pregnant people in Canada vary widely, particularly communities that have been historically oppressed, excluded, marginalized. The lack of patient-oriented research measurement services led the RESPCCT (Research Examining Stories Pregnancy Childbirth Today) Study which used a community participatory action (CPAR) approach examine pregnancy childbirth...
Introduction: For children with cancer, early integration of pediatric palliative care in conjunction curative treatments is recommended. In Switzerland, mostly provided by an interdisciplinary primary oncology team that mainly composed nurses. However, only a small fraction receive and minority them timely manner. The main aim was to identify barriers the provision Swiss oncology. Method: This qualitative study consisted five focus groups. total, 29 providers participated (13 nurses, 11...

The aim the study was to examine understanding and attitudes towards from perspective health providers working in oncology Switzerland promote implementation care. Five mixed focus groups were conducted with 29 (oncologists, nurses, psychologists, social workers) at five Swiss group centers. interviews analyzed using thematic coding. Most participants associated non-curative treatment....
While the technologies that enable Artificial Intelligence (AI) continue to advance rapidly, there are increasing promises regarding AI's beneficial outputs and concerns about challenges of human-computer interaction in healthcare. To address these concerns, institutions have increasingly resorted publishing AI guidelines for healthcare, aiming align with ethical practices. However, as a form written language can be analyzed recognize reciprocal links between its textual communication...
Ineffective communication and limited autonomy frequently lie at the core of negative birth experiences. Numerous studies indicate a need to improve decision-making with deliberate shift towards person-centered care. Thus, it is imperative study determinants autonomy-depriving ineffective through both provider birthing people perspectives. Our explores providers' perceptions attitudes in birth, particularly regarding person-centeredness, autonomy, informed consent, capacity. We conducted...
Abstract Evidence shows that during birth women frequently experience unconsented care, coercion, and a loss of autonomy. For many countries, this contradicts both the law medical ethics guidelines, which emphasize competent fully informed women’s autonomy must always be respected. To better understand discordance, we empirically describe perinatal maternity care providers’ moral deliberation surrounding coercive measures birth. Data were obtained from 1-on-1 interviews with providers (N =...
Parents frequently attempt to shield their children from distressing prognostic information. Pediatric oncology providers sometimes follow parental request for non-disclosure of information children, invoking what we call the stability family argument. They believe that if they inform child about terminal prognosis despite wishes, cohesion and structure will be severely hampered. In this paper, argue against non-disclosure. Firstly, present argument in more detail. We, then, set out...

Abstract Background Normality is both a descriptive and normative concept. Undoubtedly, the normal often operates normatively as an exclusionary tool of cultural authority. While it has prominently found its way into field medicine, remains rather unclear in what sense used. Thus, our study sought to elucidate people’s understanding normality medicine identify concepts that are linked it. Methods Using convenient sampling, we carried out cross-sectional survey. Since survey was advertised...
Abstract Background Numerous studies show that negative birth experiences are often related to birthing people's loss of autonomy. We argue a fetal‐focused decision‐making framework and maternal–fetal conflict lens applied, creating false dichotomy between autonomy fetal beneficence. Given the high prevalence autonomy‐depriving decision‐making, it is important understand how can be enhanced. Methods interviewed 15 Swiss perinatal care practitioners (eight midwives, five physicians, two...
Abstract Background Due to rising health care costs, in 2012 Switzerland introduced SwissDRG, a reimbursement system for hospitals based on lump sum per case. To circumvent possible negative consequences like reduction length of stay, acute and transitional (ATC) was anchored into the law (Federal act insurance) 2011. ATC as discharge option is applicable patients who physicians deem will not fulfill rehabilitation criteria, but are unable return home need temporary professional nursing...
Lived experiences of childhood cancer patients and their families have been described as interrupted a loss normal life. Apart from symptoms due to the disease, continuously experience burden treatment. Since coping capacities are unique each individual, we captured variables that offer objective measures treatment burden, with particular focus on disruptive effects families’ lives. Our sample was comprised by 193 children died cancer. Medical records were extracted retrospectively....
