Abstract

Medical ethics education aims to provide medical students with the ability to cope with ethical issues they may encounter in their professional lives and to make ethical decisions. The place and importance of ethics education in medical curricula is indispensable for developing skills such as being aware of ethical issues and able to analyze complex ethical dilemmas. In psychiatry, ethics education seems to be quite important due to the fact that patients are in a vulnerable group, their decision-making capacities are reduced due to some mental health problems, due to issues such as the importance of boundaries and confidentiality-privacy in the patient-doctor relationship, the dilemmas between benefiting the patients and confidentiality or respecting autonomy and stigmatization. This article aims to emphasize the importance of ethics education in medical education, especially in undergraduate psychiatry education, from the perspective of both an academician and a medical student.

Özet

Tıp etiği eğitimi ile tıp öğrencilerinin meslek yaşamlarında karşılaşabilecekleri etik sorunlarla başa çıkabilme ve etik karar verme yeteneğinin kazandırılması hedeflenmektedir. Tıbbi müdahaleler sırasında karşılaşacakları etik sorunların farkında olma ve karmaşık etik ikilemleri analiz edebilme gibi becerilerin geliştirilmesi için, tıp müfredatında etik eğitiminin yeri ve önemi vazgeçilmezdir. Psikiyatride, hastaların savunmasız ve incinebilir grupta olması, bazı ruhsal sorunlar nedeniyle karar verme kapasitelerinde azalma görülmesi, hasta-hekim ilişkisinde sınırların ve gizlilik-mahremiyet gibi konuların önemi, bazı psikiyatrik uygulamalar ile hastanın yararını gözetme ile gizlilik ya da hasta özerkliğinin gözetilmesi arasındaki ikilemler yaşanması ve damgalanma gibi nedenlerle psikiyatride etik eğitimi oldukça önemli görünmektedir. Bu yazı ile tıp eğitiminde ve özellikle mezuniyet öncesi psikiyatri eğitiminde etik eğitiminin önemini hem akademisyen hem öğrenci gözünden vurgulamak amaçlanmaktadır.
