“…(17,25) This phase evidenced the complexity of the construct and the difficulty to measure bioethical constructs in the assessment areas is just beginning. (28) The need is highlighted to proceed with the validation in order to verify the psychometric properties of the instrument, with a view to expanding the knowledge production on the ethical issues involved in childcare. It should be kept in mind that adaptation and validation are different methods in the measuring process of measures, demanding methodological rigor and care.…”

Objective: To describe the adaptation process of the "Inventory of Ethical Problems in Primary Health Care" (IPE-APS) to the child health context. Methods: Methodological study, based on the universalist model. The following phases of equivalence were undertaken: conceptual, item, semantic and operational. Ten experts and 30 nurses from Family Health Services participated. Results: In the item and semantic equivalence developed by the judges, the first dimension of the IPE-APS presented the largest number of items with agreement <70 %, totaling five out of 18. In the pretest, the target population assessed the instrument as easy to understand, but suggestion a slight adjustment in the instruction and layout. The mean completion time was 15 minutes. Conclusion: The adaptation of the IPE-APS to the child health context was developed successfully. The tool is feasible and the subsequent validation phases will permit its inclusion in professional nursing practice. ResumoObjetivo: Descrever o processo de adaptação do "Inventário Problemas Éticos na Atenção Primária em Saúde" (IPE-APS) para o contexto da saúde da criança. Métodos: Estudo metodológico, baseado no modelo universalista. Seguiram-se as etapas de equivalência: conceitual, de itens, semântica e operacional. Realizado com a participação de 10 especialistas e de 30 enfermeiras de Unidades de Saúde da Família. Resultados: Na equivalência de itens e semântica, realizada pelos juízes, a primeira dimensão do IPE-APS apresentou maior número de itens com concordância <70 %, total de cinco entre 18. No pré-teste, a população-alvo avaliou o instrumento como de fácil compreensão, porém sugeriu pequeno ajuste na instrução e no layout. O tempo médio de preenchimento foi de 15 minutos. Conclusão: A adaptação do IPE-APS para o contexto da saúde da criança foi realizada com sucesso. O instrumento é viável e a continuidade da validação possibilitará sua inclusão na prática profissional de enfermeiras.

“…A structured questionnaire was used. The developmental process took into account methodological considerations and instruments of other empirical studies to obtain sufficient validation of the questionnaire [6,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. At the University of Munich, n = 42 participants were questioned, after they had been given special interaction-skill training for patients.…”

The majority of therapeutic decision-making takes place between therapists and elderly people. The present study sought to determine the individual preferences of elderly people in the therapist-patient interaction. From October 2010 to January 2011, data from elderly students (n = 297, mean age > 60) were collected at three different university sites in Germany (Halle-Wittenberg, Cologne and Munich). The study used a structured questionnaire. Younger students (n = 182, mean age = 20.5) at the University of Halle-Wittenberg were questioned as well, in order to show age-specific differences. None of the participants was hospitalised. At the University of Munich, elderly students (n = 42) were given interaction-skill training for patients prior to taking part in the study. The effect of the intervention was measured in the study. Elderly participants and especially those with higher morbidity and a poorer state of information about their state of health refused to get involved in the process of medical decision-making. A group of elderly participants who received special interaction-skill training for patients afterwards preferred an equal therapist-patient relationship as well as shared decision-making. Younger participants favored an informative-participative interaction. The guidelines of therapeutic decision-making that are applied in practise do not always meet the individual needs of the elderly. Interaction-skill training for patients has great potential to both: encourage patients to get involved in the process of medical decision-making and to assume more autonomy. Hence, the aim should be to compound autonomy-empowerment and interaction-skill training for elderly people.

“…A glance at English and German standard works of ethics and the curricula of existing advanced courses shows that the difficulties discussed in the previous sections have been mostly ignored until now 26–28. To my knowledge, there are also far more analytical discussions on the concept of the naturalistic fallacy in empirical ethics29–31 than critical analyses of the practical problems inherent in the critical appraisal and sound application of data in ethical reasoning and decision-making 32…”

How factual do we want the facts? Criteria for a critical appraisal of empirical research for use in ethics

Most contributions to the current debate about the consideration and application of empirical information in ethics scholarship deal with epistemological issues such as the role and the meaning of empirical research in ethical reasoning. Despite the increased publication of empirical data in ethics literature we still lack systematic analyses and conceptual frameworks that would help us to understand the rarely discussed methodological and practical problems in appraising empirical research. This paper demonstrates the need for critical appraisal and its crucial methodological role in the application of empirical information in ethical reasoning. Furthermore, it systematically examines the criteria and the appropriate appraisal of empirical research and the associated challenges by highlighting current problems in empirical ethics literature. These problems reveal the following challenges for a critical and responsible consideration of empirical information in ethical reasoning: (i) training in the basic skills of locating and communicating empirical data from the relevant studies; (ii) training in basic knowledge of how to critically appraise empirical (qualitative and quantitative) research and its results; (iii) determination of quality standards for empirical ethics research; (iv) adequate reporting of the methodology and results of empirical ethics research in scientific journals.
