Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative

This assignment will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically analyze a case. Organizing the data in this way will help you apply the four principles of principlism.

Based on the “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and other required topic study materials, you will complete the “Applying the Four Principles: Case Study” document that includes the following:

Part 1: Chart

This chart will formalize principlism and the four-boxes approach by organizing the data from the case study according to the relevant principles of biomedical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.

Part 2: Evaluation

This part includes questions, to be answered in a total of 500 words, that describe how principalism would be applied according to the Christian worldview.

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

 Describe one internal and one external method for the dissemination of your EBP project results. For example, an internal method may be the hospital board, and an external method may be a professional nursing organization. Discuss why it is important to report your results to both of these groups. How will your communication strategies change for each group?

Consider the following scenario:

Rene is a health care administrator who works for an Health Service Organization (HSO) in a large urban area. Because she was previously a health care provider, Rene is sensitive to the need for health care delivery that also promotes patient safety. As part of the responsibilities in working within the HSO, the board of directors has asked Rene about the needs of the HSO for fostering improvement initiatives. To that end, Rene suggested initiatives aimed at increasing patient safety in light of a recent report citing poor patient safety across all departments in the HSO. The board agreed and has made Rene responsible for developing a new patient safety initiative. Rene quickly communicated with several department leads to determine potential courses of action to improve patient safety within the HSO. A meeting to hear from each respective department with contributions on how to implement a new patient initiative is slated for next week. Several department heads and the board of the HSO have been impressed with the commitment that Rene has demonstrated thus far.

How are improvement initiatives put into place within HSOs? How might leadership and the approaches used by leaders contribute to the implementation of improvement initiatives in practice? As a current or future health care administrator, you will likely encounter improvement initiatives aimed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of health care delivery.

For this Discussion, reflect on the scenario presented and consider the role of leadership for improvement initiatives in HSOs. Then, think about improvement initiatives currently in place at your HSO or an HSO with which you are familiar.

Post a description of the improvement initiative(s) currently in place at your Health Service Organization (HSO)  or an HSO with which you are familiar. Explain how leadership is related to the particular improvement initiative selected. Then, explain the levels of the integrated system of the HSO, and suggest two approaches that leadership might use to work within these levels to execute the improvement initiative you selected. Be specific and provide examples.

Andragogy

            Andragogy is a theory of learning that focuses on the learner; increasing educational experience and motivation by active participation and learner experience (Aucoin, 2011). The theory emphasizes a learner-directed approach to education rather than the traditional teacher-directed approach (Aucoin, 2011).

Andragogy and Art-Based Learning

 One interesting learning experience that I found discusses an andragogy-informed art-based learning strategy (Nguyen, Miranda, Lapum, & Donald, 2016). The authors assessed the experiences of 155 undergraduate nursing students after one 24-week course that involved learning activities using arts and andragogical principles (Nguyen, Miranda, Lapum, & Donald, 2016). There were three nursing concepts that were focused on, adherence, uncertainty, and empowerment; the study incorporated arts using drama, illustrated narratives, and reflection exercises (Nguyen, Miranda, Lapum, & Donald, 2016). The findings showed that most students favored this approach and felt that their learning experiences were enhanced (Nguyen, Miranda, Lapum, & Donald, 2016). The study suggests that the approach of andragogy and art-based learning helped the students develop empathy, which enhances emotional intelligence (Nguyen, Miranda, Lapum, & Donald).

            I enjoyed reading this study because I find that my learning is enhanced through similar activities such as small group discussion, reflection, and simulation activities. I am often the one in group discussions who shares many stories; not only do I want to share my experience, but I am hoping that I will learn of others related experiences through sharing my own. This study used the learner-based principle of andragogy and combined it with an arts-based learning approach.

Applying Andragogy

            Keeping in mind the andragogical principle of focusing more on the process of teaching and less focus on the content (Roebuck, et al., 2015), educators can assess learning preferences of their students to develop interactive activities to enhance learning experiences. In a survey of 272 nurse practitioners, learning needs and learning preferences were assessed in relation to skin cancer prevention, assessment, and diagnosis (Roebuck, et al., 2015). Using andragogical theories, preferences for learning were assessed in the survey with the most desired learning tools being a pocket guide, online continuing education activities and presentations (Roebuck, et al., 2015). By determining learning preferences, educational programs and curriculum can be developed in the student-learning style of andragogy.
