Medical Ethics Symposium: Faced by the Limit: Spiritual Struggle & Resources Amid Medical Finitude

Enduring Activity: 2023 Medical Ethics Symposium: “Faced by the Limit – Spiritual Struggle and Resources Amid Medical Finitude”

Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2023Ethics-KArvin

Target Audience
This program is intended for physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, chaplains, social workers, other healthcare providers, members of hospital ethics committees and community clergy.

Statement of Need
Within the dynamics of healthcare, circumstances can arise that impose difficult moral choices. During the pandemic, healthcare leaders and ethicists contemplated how to allocate ventilators if the number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation exceeded the number of available ventilators. On the individual level, a nurse may believe a patient is suffering and would decline treatment if the patient had the capacity to do so, but has orders and surrogate direction to treat the patient. These types of circumstances wear on a person’s moral fiber. Without guidance and support, such events can lead to oral and spiritual distress that harm the professional’s work and sense of self.

Providers may be unaware of the value of an ethics consultation and how it can reduce stress for a patient’s family and staff. They may also be unaware of how to cope when caught in an impossible moral dilemma.

Objectives
1) Describe the complexity of spiritual struggles amidst medical crises.
2) Identify interventions that engage spirituality as a resource.
3) Provide insights on how we can each facilitate interventions to address spiritual struggles.
