Eva V. Regel joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article: “How Should Clinicians Help Homeless Trauma Survivors Make Irreversible Surgical Care Decisions?”

When police officers and clinicians perceive a moral transgression committed by an agent responding to risk in the field, they are susceptible to moral injury.

Identifying when and how personal, professional, or social value systems are affected by moral injury can inform efforts to mitigate it.

Dr Wendy Dean joins Ethics Talk to discuss her article: “What Law Enforcement Can Learn From Health Care About Moral Injury.”

Improving health outcomes through patient-centered care is one way to build value for stakeholders in health care.

Responding well means navigating ongoing grief, restoring self-community and human-ecological relationships, and generating cultural vibrancy.

Patients writing daily journal briefs about work-related activities and pain can help clinicians help them.

Patients’ perceptions of how much input they have in making health decisions influence therapeutic alliance and outcomes.

Public and self-stigma negatively influence patients’ quality of life, employment, and housing opportunities.

Some clinicians cite absence of long-term data to justify not fully deferring surgery for children with DSD, and legal restrictions of early procedures are also at play.
