Der Einfluss von Religiosität und Spiritualität auf die Haltung von Schweizer Ärzten gegenüber ethisch umstrittenen medizinischen Fragen

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Obwohl das Thema Religiosität und Spiritualität (R/S) in der Medizin immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnt, wurden die religiösen Haltungen von Ärzten und ihre Auswirkungen auf die ethische Entscheidungsfindung in der Schweiz bisher kaum untersucht. Die vorliegende Studie evaluiert deshalb den Einfluss von R/S auf die Einstellung von Ärzten gegenüber ethisch umstrittenen medizinischen Fragen. Die Resultate zeigen, dass religiöse Ärzte mehr Vorbehalte in Bezug auf ärztlich assistierten Suizid, Schwangerschaftsabbruch und dem Verschreiben von Verhütungsmitteln an Minderjährige haben. Eine weitere Analyse belegt zudem konfessionelle Unterschiede: Evangelikale Ärzte haben mehr Vorbehalte, gefolgt von katholischen und protestantischen Ärzten.

Physicians’ religious/spiritual characteristics and their behavior regarding religiosity and spirituality in clinical practice

“…From within the NERSH collaboration Lee et al were able to share with us a sample of German hospital chaplains (N = 138), [27] and Hefti et al had used the questionnaire to query family practitioners from the region of Bale and Aarau in Switzerland (N = 105). [28] The citation search found 4 eligible surveys. Cordero et al had collected 2 samples of Spanish and Portuguese nursing students,[ 29 30 ] (N = 75 and N = 158 respectively), and from Brazil by Menegatti-Chequini et al we identified 2 samples of psychiatrists: the first based on a survey among members of the Brazilian Psychiatry Association (ABP) (N = 508), and also a sample from a psychiatric department in São Paulo (N = 84).…”

Duplicates from the ABP and IPqHC-FMUSP samples were removed.…”
