“…Key aspects are to show respect for the human individual as a unique personality, for individual habits, customs and needs (14, 15). According to the research, infringements of psychological integrity and related problems typically occur in ordinary, everyday situations (9, 27, 28). Nurses may fail to respond to their patient's request for help quickly enough (29), or to take notice of their personal opinions, possibly thinking that they know better their patient's resources (9).…”

Nurses take the view that patient integrity is maintained reasonably well in long-term institutions. There are, however, some problematic areas that require special attention, particularly in the maintenance of psychological integrity. Future research needs to look at how patients and their relatives view the situation and to explore different training delivery options that can help raise the ethical quality of nursing care.

“…One factor which may facilitate or hinder autonomy for residents is the organisations approach to residential care, and this has been discussed in the literature for many years with some of the first discussions appearing in the early 1990s (Smith, 1992; Erlander et al. , 1993; Hofland, 1994; Quill & Brody, 1996).…”

As the population ages, the expectations of consumers rise and future care provision for older people will demand that autonomy is operationalised in residential care facilities. This paper looks at international publications related to identifying the factors which facilitate or hinder residents autonomy and directs the reader to reflect on their own custom and practice. There are many factors which both facilitate and hinder the level of autonomy which older people experience in residential care. This paper will discuss the three most pertinent factors that are discussed repeatedly in the literature, and they are as follows: the organisations approach to care, person-centred care and life planning.

“…There is an increasing body of research on the field of ethical challenges in healthcare 1 e.g. in the care of patients with ALS (Seitzer et al 2016 ), in elderly and dementia care (Hasselkus 1997 ; Van der Dam 2011 ; Bolmsjö et al 2006 ), in long-term care (Elander et al 1993 ), and in (community) mental healthcare (Liégeois and Van Audenhove 2005 ; Molewijk et al 2008a , b , 2015 ). Most ethical challenges are related to quality of care and quality of the organization of health care institutions.…”

There is an increasing body of research on what kind of ethical challenges health care professionals experience regarding the quality of care. In the Netherlands the Dutch Health Care Inspectorate is responsible for monitoring and regulating the quality of health care. No research exists on what kind of ethical challenges inspectors experience during the regulation process itself. In a pilot study we used moral case deliberation as method in order to reflect upon inspectors’ ethical challenges. The objective of this paper is to give an overview of the ethical challenges which health care inspectors encounter in their daily work. A thematic qualitative analysis was performed on cases (n = 69) that were collected from health care inspectors in a moral case deliberation pilot study. Eight themes were identified in health care regulation. These can be divided in two categories: work content and internal collaboration. The work of the health care inspectorate is morally loaded and our recommendation is that some form of ethics support is provided for health care inspectors.
