  1. Ethische Entscheidungen in Hospizen: Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Studie in drei Hospizen in Nordrhein-Westfalen.Andreas Walker & Christof Breitsameter - 2013 - Ethik in der Medizin 25 (4):301-313.
    In der vorliegenden Arbeit geht es um Entscheidungsspielräume und Entscheidungsprozesse von hauptamtlichen Hospizmitarbeiterinnen und -mitarbeitern in ethisch relevanten Situationen. Wie sich diese Prozesse und Spielräume konkret in der Praxis gestalten, erforschten wir mittels einer qualitativen Studie, die wir in drei Hospizen in Nordrhein-Westfalen durchführten. Als ethische Haupthandlungsfelder nannten die befragten Pflegekräfte die Medikation in der präfinalen Phase, den Umgang mit terminaler Sedierung und mit der Flüssigkeitszufuhr und Ernährung am Lebensende. Entscheidungen innerhalb dieser Felder werden i. d. R. kollektiv getroffen. Die (...)

  • Conflicts and conflict regulation in hospices: nurses’ perspectives: Results of a qualitative study in three German hospices. [REVIEW]Andreas Walker & Christof Breitsameter - 2013 - Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 16 (4):709-718.

  • Bearing witness in nursing practice: More than a moral obligation?Mikelle Djkowich, Christine Ceci & Olga Petrovskaya - 2019 - Nursing Philosophy 20 (1):e12232.
    In this paper, we explore the concept of bearing witness in nursing practice. We examine the description of bearing witness in the nursing literature, particularly that offered by William Cody who suggests that bearing witness results in the limited moral obligation of “true presence.” We then turn to Lorraine Code's work on testimony, drawing parallels between the concepts of testimony and bearing witness. Code suggests that receiving testimony results in a responsibility to respond, and that this is an ethico‐political obligation. (...)
