“…The Editor Emeritus, Jeff Garner, recognised this and commissioned special issues as yearly supplements. As the current EIC, this has been taken further with the commissioning of multiple special issues per year, most of which were a resounding success judging by downloads, and it was many of these commissioned articles that resulted in our increased IF 6. We have used the topic of ‘Emergency Preparedness’ as the first issue of BMJ Military Health , recognising the increased role that the military has in providing assistance to civil authorities in the future 7.…”

Ethical Bearing Is About Our Conduct: Ethics as an Essential Component of Military Interprofessional Healthcare Teams

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction The need to maintain medical ethical standards during conflict and peace has been the source of considerable academic discourse. Although still an unsolved challenge, scholars have made significant contributions to the literature, constructing categorizations that can help military providers contend with ethical conflicts. However, insights into the ethical comportment of military interprofessional healthcare teams (MIHTs) have yet to be reported. Materials and Methods This interview-based study collected insights from 30 military healthcare providers who participated in and/or led MIHTs. Altogether, participants represented 11 health professions, both officers and enlisted military members, and the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force. Following Grounded Theory methodology, data were collected and analyzed in iterative cycles until theme saturation was reached. Results The research team identified two themes of ethical bearing that enable MIHT success in and across care contexts. One theme of successful ethical bearing is “raising concerns,” referring to speaking up when something needs to be addressed. The other is “making compromises,” where individuals have to make sacrifices (e.g., lack of equipment, non-sterile environment, etc.) to give patient care. Conclusions These data suggest that effective MIHTs have a collective moral compass. This moral compass is the team’s ability to judge what is ethically right and wrong, as well as the team’s willingness and ability to act accordingly—to consistently “do the right thing.” There is a collective moral compass, and while the team may not all agree on what exactly is true north—they are all bending that way.
