The purpose of this study was to analyze nursing ethics education from the perspective of nurses codes of ethics in the basic nursing education programmes in polytechnics in Finland with the following research questions: What is known about nurses codes in practice and education, what contents of the codes are taught, what teaching and evaluation methods are used, which demographic variables are associated with the teaching, what is nurse educators adequacy of knowledge to teach the codes and nursing students knowledge of and ability to apply the codes, and what are participants opinions of the need and applicability of the codes, and their importance in nursing ethics education. The aim of the study was to identify strengths and possible problem areas in teaching of the codes and nursing ethics in general. The knowledge gained from this study can be used for developing nursing ethics curricula and teaching of ethics in theory and practice. The data collection was targeted to all polytechnics in Finland providing basic nursing education (i.e. Bachelor of Health Care). The target groups were all nurse educators teaching ethics and all graduating nursing students in the academic year of 2006. A total of 183 educators and 214 students from 24 polytechnics participated. The data was collected using a structured questionnaire with four open-ended questions, designed for this study. The data was analysed by SPSS (14.0) and the open-ended questions by inductive content analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. Inferential statistics were used to estimate the differences between the participant groups. The reliability of the questionnaire was estimated with Cronbachs coefficient alpha. The literature review revealed that empirical research on the codes was scarce, and minimal in the area of education. Teaching of nurses codes themselves and the embedded ethical concepts was extensive, teaching of the functions of the codes and related laws and agreements was moderate, but teaching of the codes of other health care professions was modest. Issues related to the nurse-patient relationship were emphasised. Wider social dimensions of the codes were less emphasized. Educators and students descriptions of teaching emphasized mainly the same teaching contents, but there were statistically significant differences between the groups in that educators assessed their teaching to be more extensive than what students had perceived it had been. T he use of teaching and evaluation methods was rather narrow and conventional. However, educators and students descriptions of the used methods differed statistically significantly. Students knowledge of the codes and their ability to apply them in practice was assessed as mediocre by educators and by students themselves. Most educators assessed their own knowledge of the codes as adequate to teach the codes, as did most of the students. Educators who regarded their knowledge as adequate taught the codes more extensively than those who assessed their knowledge as less adequate. Also students who assessed their educators knowledge as adequate perceived the teaching of the codes to be more extensive. Otherwise educators and students demographic variables had little association with their descriptions of the teaching. According to the participants, nurses need their own codes, and they are also regarded as applicable in practice. The codes are an important element in nursing ethics education, but their teaching needs development. Further research should focus on the organization of ethics teaching in the curricula, the teaching process, and on the evaluation of the effectiveness of ethics education and on educators competence. Also the meaning and functions of the codes at all levels of nursing deserve attention. More versatile use of research methods would be beneficial in gaining new knowledge.

Kierkegaardian Intersubjectivity and the Question of Ethics and Responsibility By Kevin Krumrei. Kierkegaard's contributions to philosophy are generally admitted and recognized as valuable in the history of Western philosophy, both as one of the great anti-Hegelians, as the founder (arguably) of existentialism, and as a religious thinker. However valid this may be, there is similarly a generally admitted critique of Kierkegaard in the Western tradition, that Kierkegaard's philosophy of the development of the self leads the individual into an isolated encounter with God, to the abandonment of the social context. In other words, a Kierkegaardian theory of intersubjectivity is a contradiction in terms. This is voiced eloquently by Emmanuel Levinas, among others. However, Levinas' own intersubjective ethics bears a striking resemblance to Kierkegaard's, with respect to the description and formulation of the basic problem for ethics: the problem of aesthetic egoism. Further, both Kierkegaard and Levinas follow similar paths in responding to the problem, from Kierkegaard's reduplication in Works of Love, to Levinas' notion of substitution in Otherwise than Being. In this comparison, it becomes evident that Levinas' reading of Kierkegaard is mistaken, for Kierkegaard's intersubjective ethics postulates, in fact, the inseparability and necessity of the self s responsible relation to others in the self s relation to God, found in the command, "you shall love your neighbour as yourself."

As of April 1, 2013 kinesiology became a regulated health profession in Ontario. With its own governing body, the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario (CKO), there are new ethical and professional standards to which kinesiologists must adhere. The purpose of this study is to investigate kinesiologists thoughts and perceptions regarding the CKOs Practice Standards, Guidelines and Code of Ethics, and their level of ethical knowledge and training. Eleven semi-structured interviews were carried out with kinesiologists. Interview data was analyzed through the development of general themes. Findings revealed that kinesiologists are confident of their ethical decision making skills but are in need of more ethical and professional education and training in order to become respected healthcare professionals in the healthcare community and in the eyes of the public. Furthermore, there were key areas identified in need of improvement regarding the quality of the Practice Standards, Guidelines and Code of Ethics. Additional findings, implications and recommendations for future research were also discussed.

Public policies often involve choices of alternatives in which the size and the composition of the population may vary. Examples are the allocation of resources to prenatal care and the design of aid packages to developing countries. In order to assess the corresponding feasible choices on normative grounds, criteria for social evaluation that are capable of performing variable-population comparisons are required. We review several important axioms for welfarist population principles and discuss the link between individual well-being and the desirability of adding a new person to a given society.

Cet article discute des problemes de gouvernance et de corruption en Afrique dans le cadre dun debat politique et philosophique large entre universalisme et relativisme, idealisme et realisme, ainsi que entre individualisme et communautarisme. Premierement, je defends que lapproche realiste de lethique politique et du leadership ne permet pas de differencier entre les elements descriptifs et prescriptifs de la gouvernance et peut aisement etre utilisee pour justifier les Mains Sales des dirigeants au nom de linteret superieur de la nation, meme dans les cas ou linteret personnel est la seule force motivationnelle pour les actions qui sapent les codes sociaux et ethiques ordinaires. Deuxiemement, larticle montre la faillite de la confiance publique dans le gouvernement et la faiblesse de lEtat renforce les politiques communautariennes sub-nationales qui tendent a etre fondees sur lethnie et exclusive, et par consequent, qui viole le cur de lethique publique, cest-a-dire limpartialite. Finalement, larticle suggere que les principes dethique universels pour les services publiques soient introduits en complement plutot quen concurrence avec les ethiques locales, socialement et culturellement limitee au prive. Cela requiere, dune part, que nous comprenions mieux la complexite historique, les circonstances economiques et sociales et les arrangements politiques transitionnels dans les pays africains. Dautre part, un nous devons investir dans une education ethique civique et professionnel reflexive qui adopte un point de vue nuance entre le realisme politique et lidealisme comme point de depart des reformes institutionnelles, aussi bien que modalite de changement des comportements a long terme.

Cette etude de cas est issue dun module final de formation pour les employes du service public dune agence de leau. Nous explorons les resultats de plusieurs strategies utilisees pour souligner le besoin de changement dans les comportements individuels et institutionnels en vue dameliorer les services aux clients. En particulier, nous explorons certaines manieres douvrir la discussion sur les pratiques de corruption de maniere non-triviale sans offenser les sensibilites ou provoquer lindifference. Comme point de depart, il est demande aux participants de relever les problemes institutionnels quils caracterisent comme ethiques, meme si dautres problemes appartiennent a dautres categories identifiees plus tard. Pour eviter une approche purement theorique des devoirs et obligations envers les clients, ils sont derives de la mission de lagence telle que definit par la loi qui la creee.

Research and teaching in societal development ethics face potentially four fundamental types of objection: first, that ethics is obvious already; second, that it is instead impossible, on epistemological grounds; third, that it is theoretically possible but in practice fruitless; and fourth, that it is in any case politically insignificant. The paper presents qualified rebuttals of the four objections. In the process of doing so, it builds up a picture of this field of thought and practice: its modes, methods and alternative forms of organization, and some of its pitfalls and potentials, exemplars and achievements.

La thse examine les liens entre la vision pluraliste de la science et lthique de la mdecine tibtaine et les nouvelles pratiques en mdecine occidentale, soit la longvit et la recherche sur la gntique amlioratrice. Elle cherche cerner lapport que la mdecine tibtaine peut apporter aux recherches occidentales sur la longvit et la gntique humaine amlioratrice. Elle traite donc dun enjeu social cl et du dbat qui sy rattache. La dcouverte et la description sont centrales la mthodologie et informent lanalyse. Nous avons examin dans un premier temps, les travaux de recherche sur la longvit relie la gntique amlioratrice (mmoire et muscles). Nous nous sommes penchs galement sur les fondements de la mdecine tibtaine en tant que systme intgr. Pour ce faire, nous avons trait des notions telles que la sant, lidentit, la perfection et limmortalit. Notre cadre conceptuel repose sur la thorie bouddhiste de linterdpendance qui se caractrise par la formulation de catgories qui ensuite sont synthtises dans lessence; les deux niveaux dinterprtation de la thorie sont dcrits en dtail avant de passer une comparaison avec la notion de complexit occidentale. La mdecine tibtaine de fait prsente un systme o lthique et la science sont intgres et se prte bien une comparaison avec la vision pluraliste de la science partir dune perspective thique/biothique. Les commentaires recueillis auprs des experts nous ont permis de cerner comment la science, lthique et lamlioration de la longvit sont dfinies au sein des deux paradigmes de lEst et de lOuest. Nos rsultats montrent six points qui se dgagent au terme de cette recherche permettent de jeter un pont sur la vision pluraliste de ces paradigmes. Ceux-ci transcendent les points de vue doctrinaux individuels de religions ainsi que du monde scientifique occidental. Plus que tout, ils laissent entrevoir un cadre de rfrences novatrices qui contribuera la prise de dcision lgard de questionnements biothiques.
