Etica, filosofia e mediazione linguistica: dall’Etica della filosofia occidentale al codice deontologico della mediazione linguistica
No full textAbstract – Over the last few years, the issue of professional ethics has received much attention in the field of interpreting and translation, and in particular in the field of Community Interpreting (CI) or Public Service Interpreting (PSI). (In this chapter we will refer to CI or PSI in Italian as ‘Mediazione Linguistica’.) Today, ‘ethics’ figures prominently in the literature, in international conferences, in interpreting courses, in translation/interpreting mailing lists as well as in the working lives of professional interpreters. As an object of theoretical inquiry (meta-ethics) as well as a guide for human conduct (normative ethics), ethics has been a prime focus of Western moral philosophy since the time of the Ancient Greeks. This chapter situates the main ethical tenets of the CI/PSI interpreting profession within the framework of the main principles of moral philosophy, namely notions of ‘good’, ‘virtue’, ‘duty’, ‘responsibility’, ‘utility’ and ‘consequence of actions’. The three principal ethical tenets of CI/PSI discussed in this chapter, Accuracy, Impartiality and Confidentiality, were identified on the basis of a general literature review and more specifically from a variegated (and to some degree representative) sample of CI/PSI Codes of Ethics. The chapter argues that there is an underlying connection between the principal tenets of moral philosophy and those of the interpreting profession (which mirror similar ethical principles in other professions). The tenet of Accuracy could be seen as a ‘contract’ between interpreter and client, interpreter and source, interpreter and text/translation process/profession. The chapter situates the interpreter’s sense of duty and responsibility towards this tenet at an individual and collective level, within the Kantian tradition of Duty. The other two tenets – impartiality and confidentiality – safeguard the interpreter’s conduct towards the source (author/speaker), professional community and institution as well as towards the receiver (reader/listener).</p

Change of a decision aid's (NutriDia app) application in shared decision making between health care professionals and patients with cancer
No full textBaggrund: Generelt vil 10 % og op til 83 % af alle patienter med cancer oplever sygdomsrelateret underernæring, hvoraf hoved-hals cancer og øvre GI er de to cancerområder, hvor sygdomsrelateret underernæring forekommer hyppigst. Sygdomsrelateret underernæring giver øget risiko for hospitalsindlæggelse, lavere fysisk aktivitetsniveau, øget morbiditet og generelt dårlige prognose. Beslutningsstøtteværktøjer søger at understøtte patienter i at træffe fælles beslutningstagning om behandling med sundhedsprofessionelle, samt at skabe større opmærksomhed på ernæringsvejledningens positive effekter i at hindre sygdomsrelateret underernæring. Formål: Nærværende projekt søgte at belyse, hvordan patienter i NutriDia oplever at anvende NutriDia appen i dialogen med sundhedsprofessionelle til at opnå fælles beslutningstagning, samt hvorvidt der eksisterer et grundlag for fælles beslutningstagning i de eksisterende møder med de sundhedsprofessionelle. Den indsamlede empiri blev anvendt til at identificere forandringspotentialer, som kan optimere forudsætninger for fælles beslutningstagning i NutriDia projektet. Metode: Med udgangspunkt i en hermeneutisk videnskabsteoretisk position, blev nærværende projekts problemformulering besvaret ved brug af et casestudie, der indeholdte en systematisk litteratursøgning og fire semistrukturerede individuelle interviews.Resultat: Patienterne i NutriDia anvendte ikke alle moduler i beslutningsstøtteværktøjet, hvilket vurderes at skyldes en manglende forståelse for interaktionen mellem modulerne i værktøjet. Yderligere varierede det hvor ofte og hvor meget patienterne indregistrerede deres data i beslutningsstøtteværktøjet. Litteraturstudiet viste, at beslutningsstøtteværktøj hjalp patienterne i dialogen med de sundhedsprofessionelle til fælles beslutningstagning. Overordnet oplevede patienterne i NutriDia ikke at beslutningsstøtteværket blev anvendt i møderne med de sundhedsprofessionelle, hvilket kan skyldes en manglende fælles brugerflade grundet forsinkelse i udviklingsprocessen af værktøjet. Dog oplevede én patient at indrapporteret data i beslutningsstøtteværktøjet blev anvendt en enkelt gang, hvilket patienten oplevede som positivt for hans ernæringsbehandling.Konklusion: På baggrund af de individuelle interviews blev der fundet grundlag for fælles beslutningstagning i de eksisterende møder. Yderligere blev der opstillet tre forandringspotentialer til, at kunne optimere forudsætninger for fælles beslutningstagning i NutriDia projektet: Der skal sikres en grundlæggende forståelse af interaktionen mellem NutriDia appens forskellige moduler, hos patienterne; Vejledning og anbefalinger for indrapportering af data i NutriDia appen; Data indrapporteret i NutriDia appen skal i større grad inddrages i dialogen mellem de sundhedsprofessionelle og patienterne.Background: Generally, 10% and up to 83% of all cancer patients will experience disease-related malnutrition, of which head and neck cancer and upper GI are the two types, where disease-related malnutrition occurs most frequently. Disease-related malnutrition increases the risk of hospitalization, decreased physical activity, increased morbidity, and generally poor prognosis. Decision aids seek to support patients in the shared decision making about treatment with health care professionals, and to raise awareness of the positive effects of nutritional guidance, in preventing disease-related malnutrition. Aim: This project aimed to illustrate how patients in NutriDia experienced the NutriDia app in the dialogue with the health care professionals to achieve shared decision making, and whether there is a basis for shared decision making in the existing meetings. The empirical data was used to identify potentials for change, that could optimize the prerequisites for shared decision making in the NutriDia project.Method: Based on a hermeneutical approach, the problem posed in this project was answered by a case study consisting of a systematic literature review and four semi-structured individual interviews. Result: The patients in NutriDia did not use all the modules in the decision aid, which could be due to a lack of understanding of the interaction between the modules in the decision aid. Further, there was a variation in how often and how much patients registered their data in the decision aid. The literature study found that decision aid helped the patients obtain shared decision making in the dialogue with the health care professionals. Overall, the patients in NutriDia did not experience the decision aid being used in the meetings with the health care professionals, which could be due to a lack of the cross-platform interface, which was caused by a delay in the development process of the decision aid. Conclusion: Based on the individual interviews, there was found a basis for shared decision making in the existing meetings. Furthermore, three potentials for change were identified to optimize the prerequisites for shared decision making in the NutriDia project: Ensure a basic understanding of the interaction between the various modules of the NutriDia app; Guidance and recommendations for data entry in the NutriDia app; a broader use of the data reported in the NutriDia app in the dialogue between health care professionals and patients. <br/
Refinement of the More2Eat-model at Aalborg University Hospital: Refinement of the More2Eat-model at Aalborg University Hospital
No full textTitel: Videreudvikling af “More2Eat”-modellen på Aalborg Universitetshospital.Baggrund: At være i ernæringsrisiko under en hospitalsindlæggelse kan være forbundet med individuelle og samfundsøkonomiske konsekvenser, men kan imødekommes ved implementering af god ernæringspraksis. På Aalborg Universitetshospital er der indført en ernæringsindsats i form af “More2Eat“-modellen, men modellen har, i sin nuværende form, endnu ikke formået at implementere god ernæringspraksis i tilstrækkelig grad.Formål: At undersøge barrierer og facilitatorer forbundet med ernæringspraksis med henblik på at anvende den viden til at udvikle forandringsforslag, der kan medvirke til at videreudvikle “More2Eat“-modellen, således at ernæringspraksis implementeres på flere sengeafdelinger på Aalborg Universitetshospital.Metode: Til at besvare problemformuleringen og de tilhørende forskningsspørgsmål udføres en systematisk litteratursøgning og kvalitative interviews. På baggrund heraf udføres to individuelle analyser. De fremanalyserede data syntetiseres herefter, efterfulgt af endnu en analyse og fortolkning, med inddragelse af self-determination theory og Edgar Scheins teori om organisationskultur. Til slut diskuteres de fremkomne resultater i forhold til den nuværende “More2Eat”-model, og hvor der på den baggrund udvikles forandringsforslag. Der tages afsæt i filosofisk hermeneutik som videnskabsteoretisk ramme.Resultat: På baggrund af de anvendte metoder er følgende fem forandringsforslag fremkommet: Større åbenhed vedrørende forskellighed i plejepersonalets individuelle kompetencer, Ledelsen skal motivere plejepersonalet til at deltage i afdelingens ernæringsteams, Fast plan for hvordan plejepersonalet skal prioritere under travlhed, Fokus på én ting af gangen og slutteligt Faste emner til dialog med afdelingernes ernæringsteams.Konklusion: Med afsæt i de fremkomne forandringsforslag fremgår det, at ledelsen har en stor betydning for implementeringen af god ernæringspraksis, hvorfor "More2Eat"-modellen i højere grad skal indtænke ledelsen i den videre udvikling af modellenTitle: Refinement of the “More2Eat”-model at Aalborg University Hospital.Background: Being at nutritional risk during hospitalization can be associated with individual and socioeconomic consequences, but can be acceded to by implementing good nutritional practice. At Aalborg University Hospital a nutrition program, the “More2Eat”-model, has been implemented, but the model has yet not managed to improve good nutritional practices to a sufficient extent.Aim: To investigate perceived barriers and facilitators associated with nutritional practice, and to use this knowledge to develop recommendations for change in regards to further development of the “More2Eat”-model, so that implementation of good nutritional practice can improve at Aalborg University Hospital.Method: To answer the research question and the associated research questions a systematic literature study and qualitative interviews are carried out. Based on these two methods, two individual analyzes are carried out. The analyzed data is then synthesized, followed by another analysis and an interpretation, with application of self-determination theory and Edgar Schein ́s theory of organizational culture. Finally the results are discussed in relation to the current “More2Eat”-model, from which the recommendations for change emanate. Philosophical hermeneutics is chosen as the theoretical framework.Results: On the basis of the used methods the following five recommendations for change have been developed: Greater openness regarding differences in the health care staff ́s individual skills, Management should motivate the health care staff to participate in the hospital wards nutrition teams, Fixed plan for how the health care staff should prioritize when busy, Focus on one thing at a time and finally Fixed topics for dialogue with the hospital wards nutrition teams.Conclusion: Based on the recommendations for change it appears that management is of great importance for the implementation of good nutritional practice. Therefore the “More2Eat”- model must incorporate management to a greater extent as an essential factor in the further development of the model
