“…Ethical theories have been used to assess quality of care (Kuis, Hesselink and Goossensen 2014) but have focused on measuring care which has in itself been argued to be ethically problematic (Nagington, Luker and Walshe 2013). This study utilises poststructural theory to shape an understanding of quality care as ethical care without relying on measurement.…”

Quality of care is a prominent discourse in modern health‐care and has previously been conceptualised in terms of ethics. In addition, the role of knowledge has been suggested as being particularly influential with regard to the nurse–patient–carer relationship. However, to date, no analyses have examined how knowledge (as an ethical concept) impinges on quality of care. Qualitative semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 26 patients with palliative and supportive care needs receiving district nursing care and thirteen of their lay carers. Poststructural discourse analysis techniques were utilised to take an ethical perspective on the current way in which quality of care is assessed and produced in health‐care. It is argued that if quality of care is to be achieved, patients and carers need to be able to redistribute and redevelop the knowledge of their services in a collaborative way that goes beyond the current ways of working. Theoretical works and extant research are then used to produce tentative suggestions about how this may be achieved.

“…Die affektive Natur, (latente) Einstellungen und das Moralverständnis einer Person gelten als schwer messbare Konstrukte, die in der Überprüfung der Pflegequalität bislang kaum eine Rolle spielen (Kuis et al 2014 (Hasseler et al 2016). Die jeweilige Performance einer pflegerischen Situation wird jedoch auch durch verschiedene Determinanten außerhalb der methodischen, sozialen und fachlich-kognitiven Kompetenzen konstituiert.…”

“…9,10 This disqualifies the use of standard categories for evaluation since these might not correspond to the values of the individual. 16,17 Third, CE is a political-ethical discipline 9 with ambitions that stretch further than personal relationships, which also pays attention to institutions and systems. It can be deduced that there should be attention not only for the relationship within care ethical evaluation but also for systemic forces and clashing logics and rationalities that are of influence within the institutional context.…”

“…Mismatch could be caused by a lack of relational attunement to the needs and wishes of the other, even while medical-technical care is excellent. 17 In a review study, 17 40 instruments were identified based on this operationalization, of which three qualitative instruments appeared most promising for the evaluation of care from a care ethical perspective. In this study, the most promising of these three methods, the emotional touchpoint method, is tested.…”
