Description
Adolescence is a critical developmental stage marked by rapid physical, emotional and cognitive changes. Healthcare professionals are often challenged with navigating complex ethical situations when providing care to adolescents. This webinar, hosted by the Kenya Paediatric Association, will explore key ethical principles in adolescent healthcare and how they intersect with clinical practice. We will discuss confidentiality, consent, autonomy, and the role of family dynamics in ethical decision-making. Join us as we delve into real-life case studies and evidence-based strategies to enhance ethical practice in adolescent care.
Objectives
Understand Ethical Frameworks: Gain insight into the ethical principles guiding adolescent healthcare, with a focus on autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice.
Explore Informed Consent and Confidentiality: Discuss the complexities of obtaining informed consent from adolescents and the limits of confidentiality in the context of healthcare.
Navigate Family Dynamics: Understand how to balance adolescent autonomy with family involvement and when parental consent is essential in clinical decision-making.
Address Ethical Dilemmas: Examine real-life case studies to identify and resolve ethical dilemmas commonly encountered in adolescent healthcare settings.
Promote Best Practices: Learn strategies for implementing ethical practices in clinical settings, particularly in scenarios involving sensitive topics like sexual health, mental health, and substance use.
