  1. Ethical considerations on the value of patient knowledge in long-term care.Susanne L. van den Hooff & Anne Goossensen - 2015 - Nursing Ethics 22 (3):377-388.
    Aim:This study explores experiences of patients suffering from Korsakoff’s syndrome. It contributes to improved reflection on the value of patient knowledge.Background:An ethics of care perspective states the importance of moving to patients in their vulnerable state of being, and to figure out patients’ individual needs necessary to provide good care. The information given by patients suffering from Korsakoff’s syndrome might be mistaken, invented and even not true. The value of these patients’ experiences and knowledge had not been researched to date.Method:Data (...)

  • Safe and competent nursing care: An argument for a minimum standard?Siri Tønnessen, Anne Scott & Per Nortvedt - 2020 - Nursing Ethics 27 (6):1396-1407.
    There is no agreed minimum standard with regard to what is considered safe, competent nursing care. Limited resources and organizational constraints make it challenging to develop a minimum standard. As part of their everyday practice, nurses have to ration nursing care and prioritize what care to postpone, leave out, and/or omit. In developed countries where public healthcare is tax-funded, a minimum level of healthcare is a patient right; however, what this entails in a given patient’s actual situation is unclear. Thus, (...)

  • What is nursing in the 21st century and what does the 21st century health system require of nursing?P. Anne Scott, Anne Matthews & Marcia Kirwan - 2014 - Nursing Philosophy 15 (1):23-34.
    It is frequently claimed that nursing is vital to the safe, humane provision of health care and health service to our populations. It is also recognized however, that nursing is a costly health care resource that must be used effectively and efficiently. There is a growing recognition, from within the nursing profession, health care policy makers and society, of the need to analyse the contribution of nursing to health care and its costs. This becomes increasingly pertinent and urgent in a (...)

  • Niven and Scott (2003): Sixteen years of hindsight.P. Anne Scott - 2019 - Nursing Philosophy 20 (3):e12250.
    This paper revisits a 2003 publication in Nursing Philosophy: The need for accurate perception and informed judgement in determining the appropriate use of the nursing resource: hearing the patient's voice. The author suggests that the basic ideas and focus of this 16‐year‐old paper are still topical and relevant in considerations of nursing care. However, it is also suggested that greater attention to the importance of the nurse–patient relationship in considerations of resource allocation, and potential rationing of nursing care, would have (...)

  • Perceiving the moral dimension of practice: insights from Murdoch, Vetlesen, and Aristotle.P. Anne Scott - 2006 - Nursing Philosophy 7 (3):137-145.
    This paper situates the moral domain of practice within the context of a particular description of nursing practice – one that sees human interaction at the heart of that practice. Such a description fits not only with professional rhetoric but also with literature from patients and recent empirical work exploring the nature of nursing practice.Martha Levine in her 1977 description of ethics, within the context of nursing practice, indicated that what was important from an ethical perspective was how we interact (...)

  • Patient restrictions: Are there ethical alternatives to seclusion and restraint?Raija Kontio, Maritta Välimäki, Hanna Putkonen, Lauri Kuosmanen, Anne Scott & Grigori Joffe - 2010 - Nursing Ethics 17 (1):65-76.
    The use of patient restrictions (e.g. involuntary admission, seclusion, restraint) is a complex ethical dilemma in psychiatric care. The present study explored nurses’ (n = 22) and physicians’ (n = 5) perceptions of what actually happens when an aggressive behaviour episode occurs on the ward and what alternatives to seclusion and restraint are actually in use as normal standard practice in acute psychiatric care. The data were collected by focus group interviews and analysed by inductive content analysis. The participants believed (...)
