Health Care Ethics through the Lens of Moral Distress (The International Library of Bioethics Book 82)

"This book provides a bridge between the theory to practice gap in contemporary health care ethics. It explores the messiness of everyday ethical issues and validates the potential impacts on health care professionals as wounded healers who regularly experience close proximity to suffering and pain. This book speaks to why ethics matters on a personal level and how moral distress experiences can be leveraged instead of hidden. The book offers contributions to both scholarship and the profession. Nurses, physicians, social workers, allied health care professionals, as well as academics and students will benefit from this book."--Page 4 of book Front Matter ....Pages i-xv Chasing the Science (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 1-19 Understanding Complex Human Responses (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 21-38 A Socio-Ecological Perspective (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 39-52 Acute Care Contexts (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 53-66 Community Health Care Contexts (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 67-85 Personal and Professional Identities (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 87-100 More Than Moral Distress (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 101-110 Ethics, Leadership, and Compassion (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 111-121 Moral Courage (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 123-136 Navigating Moral Distress (Kristen Jones-Bonofiglio)....Pages 137-153 Back Matter ....Pages 155-158
