Abstrakt: Aim: To evaluate the suitability of a drama-based workshop as a method for ethical deliberation.
Background: Nurses worldwide are inadequately prepared to care for people who desire hastened death, which can lead to ethical and moral dilemmas. To address this problem, we developed a drama-based ethical deliberation workshop to assist nurses in these situations. Senghor and Racine's three moments of ethical deliberation and their quality criteria served as basis for evaluation.
Design: Qualitative descriptive study design.
Methods: Non-participant observations and a survey with incomplete sentences to be completed by nursing students were used. Data analysis followed Mayring's deductive content analysis approach.
Results: All three moments of ethical deliberation according to Senghor and Racine were identified. Participants recognised hastened death as morally problematic, shared their experiences and gained a deeper understanding of the problem. They reported feeling better prepared for encounters with persons seeking assisted suicide. In terms of its quality, the drama-based workshop achieved good and partial ethical deliberation.
Conclusions: The workshop has demonstrated its suitability as a method for ethical deliberation. The workshop should be complemented by specific modules, such as communication skills and be tailored to other professional groups. A validated instrument is needed to ensure a more comprehensive assessment of the quality.
