    Study Notes

    Ethical Theories

    • Ethics is concerned with thinking about different issues involved in making decisions
    • Deontology focuses on duties and principles, doing what is right based on ethical principles, regardless of the outcome
    • Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative is a school of moral philosophy in which ethical behavior equals following rules

    Deontology

    • Can be either religious or secular
    • Religious deontology: goals set by religious beliefs, apply to believers, and don't apply to everyone
    • Secular deontology: set of rules for humanity, apply to all, and based on reason and compassion for human nature
    • Universalism: rules apply to everyone under all circumstances
    • Relativism: rules apply to people under certain circumstances, or within certain traditions, and has the advantage of flexibility

    Types of Ethical Theories

    • Consequentialism: morality about outcomes, should assess the most likely result of our action and choose the actions with the best results
    • Virtue Ethics: morality is about good people, should work on becoming more honest, compassionate, kind, and courageous as we become more virtuous
    • Deontology: morality about finding good rules, should come up with a system of rules to guide our behavior and stick by it

    History and Importance of Deontology

    • Deontology is rarely separated from virtue ethics, most moral and religious traditions combine these two approaches
    • Controversies in deontology, including the categorical imperative, which claims that we should always act according to the same rules that we rationally want everyone else to follow

    Sexuality and Ethics

    • Pre-marital sex: any sexual activity with an opposite-sex partner or same-sex partner before marriage
    • Adultery: any married woman who has sexual intercourse with a man who is not her husband, or a man who knows that a woman is married and has sexual intercourse with her
    • Concubinage: committed by a married man and a woman who is not his spouse
    • Homosexuality: experience of exclusive or nearly exclusive erotic preference for others of the same sex

    RH Law and Contraception

    • Reproductive Health Law is a Philippine law aimed at promoting access to reproductive health services, education, and information for all citizens
    • Elements of the RH Law include family planning, maternal and child health, prevention of abortion, adolescent and youth reproductive health, and more
    • More Catholics than non-Catholics supported the RH bill, despite Catholic bishops being against modern family planning methods and artificial contraceptives

    Principle of Stewardship and Role of Nurses

    • Stewardship is a concept that offers nurse leaders critical insight into how they can assist nurses to shift their epistemology of practice, integrating a form of practical reasoning that is virtue-based
    • The principle of stewardship extends the practice of bearing witness and encompasses the ethical responsibility to act on behalf of others and honor the responsibility of service rather than pursue one's own self-interest
