摘要

Background

Ethical counseling in healthcare aims to improve the quality of care by providing a qualified approach to supporting patients and healthcare professionals in ethically complex situations. The structural, procedural, and outcome quality of ethical interventions such as ethical case consultations should be based on ethically sound material and procedural principles and foundations, and should lead to ethically justified, jointly supported outcomes, which should be ensured by the professional and field expertise of the ethics consultants. As is the case in other professional fields, these consultants are recruited from various professions that occupy different various positions in the societal landscape and can develop their own dynamics in interaction.

Argument

Habitus is a very relevant basic concept in education, social work, and social science to better understand these interpersonal and social dynamics by increasing habitus sensitivity of professional actors, thereby reducing the dysfunctional influences of habitus on the dynamics with regard to professional goals through awareness and reflection. While there are also some studies on the relevance of habitus in healthcare, it has hardly been discussed in relation to the training of ethics consultants. In our article, we first use a case study to illustrate the possible influence of professional socialization on the dynamics of ethical case consultations. We then outline the concept of habitus with a particular focus on Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus and its application in occupational and educational research in general, as well as its relevance to habitus sensitivity in the professional socialization of physicians and nurses. Finally, we apply this to the professional situation and training of ethics consultants.

Conclusion

We summarize, by way of example, how habitus sensitivity can be strengthened with regard to the different socialization backgrounds of the various members of the treatment team seeking ethical case consultation and the patients concerned in order to further improve the process and outcome quality of ethics consultation.
