Moral Injury as a Challenge in a Value-Driven Profession: Insights from Ethics for the Education and Training of Police Agents. In: Staller, M.S., Koerner, S., Zaiser, B. (eds) Police Conflict Management, Volume II. Palgrave Macmillan, Cham: pp. 113-136. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-41100-7_6 Police and law enforcement agents in their professional work can, at times, face and experience situations which put them at risk of suffering from moral distress and moral injury. Moral distress and moral injury result from the discrepancy of one’s moral norms and values, on the one hand, and the organisational policy that a police and law enforcement agent has to implement, or the actual professional conduct he or she is performing, on the other hand. For example, a police officer using force (...) Forschungsethik – Erst kommt die Forschung, dann kommt die Moral?

S. 693-711. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-34158-9_37 Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt den Wert der normativen Ethik für die Berufsausbildung der Polizei im Allgemeinen und das Einsatztraining im Besonderen dar. Normative Ethik ist die philosophische Disziplin, die sich im Kern mit der Frage „Was soll ich tun?“ beschäftigt und diese Frage mit einem systematischen Rekurs auf moralische Normen und Werte zu beantworten sucht. Zentrale Normen, Werte, Tugenden und Theorien der Ethik werden konzise präsentiert und ihre Relevanz für das vorliegende Thema (...)

Warum brauchen wir Ethik in Public Health?Schröder-Bäck, Peter (2022) "Warum brauchen wir Ethik in Public Health?" Public Health Forum, vol. 30, no. 1: 2-4. https://doi.org/10.1515/pubhef-2021-0138 Public Health als wissenschaftliche Multidisziplin („Gesundheitswissenschaften“) und Institution orientiert sich an Werten. Werte sind das, was Menschen anstreben und als moralisch gut ansehen, beispielsweise „Gesundheit“ und „Öffentlichkeit“. Werte liegen moralischen Urteilen zugrunde. Muss man moralische Urteile begründen und Handeln rechtfertigen? Dieser Artikel plädiert für eine positive Antwort.

Sexual & Reproductive Healthcare https://doi.org/10.1016/j.srhc.2022.100726. The reduction of Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) remains a global health issue. Although major progress has been achieved in the past 15 years, the ratio is still high, especially in Low Middle-Income Countries. In the Southeast Asian region, most of the countries have not reached the Sustainable Development Goals target yet. Although the countries have several similarities in many aspects, such as community characteristics, cultural context, health systems, and geographical proximity, the MMR in (...)

Trust and The Acquisition and Use of Public Health Information.Holland, S., Cawthra, J., Schloemer, T. Schröder-Bäck, P. Trust and The Acquisition and Use of Public Health Information. Health Care Analysis (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10728-021-00436-y Information is clearly vital to public health, but the acquisition and use of public health data elicit serious privacy concerns. One strategy for navigating this dilemma is to build 'trust' in institutions responsible for health information, thereby reducing privacy concerns and increasing willingness to contribute personal data. This strategy, as currently presented in public health literature, has serious shortcomings. But it can be augmented by appealing to the philosophical analysis of the (...) Scenario planning: An alternative approach to European Commission for combating antimicrobial resistance by 2050Orellana García, L. P., Kaur, K. ., Brand, H. and Schröder-Bäck, P..

Med Law 39:2:249-268. Whereas the heart of the purpose and activity of the European Union is concerned with economic harmonisation, its internal market, and the freedom of movement of people, goods, services, and capital, necessarily require public health measures. The EU is committed to both human rights and to “Health in All Policies”. This paper considers how that agenda has been confronted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It considers how the EU Treaties limit the possible scope of that response. The paper (...)

Introduction: Public health professionals face decisions that have far-reaching ethical implications. Despite this, the field of public health ethics is relatively new, and teaching and training in ethics for public health professionals is “highly variable in quantity and content” (Doudenkova et al. 2017). Building on a prior body of research, surveys of ASPHER and EUPHA members were undertaken to explore current levels of ethics education. Methods: Online surveys were distributed to ASPHER and (...)
