Health professionals have made huge contributions to
health and socio-ecomonic development over the past
century, but we cannot carry out 21st century health
reforms with outdated or inadequate competencies….
That is why we call for a new round of more agile and
rapid adaption of core competencies based on
transnational, multi-professional, and long-term
perspectives to serve the needs of individuals and
populations
What we need, more than just disciplinary knowledge and
skills, is a well-rounded health professional acting as
change agent to address the health needs of the 21st
century

The ICF
• Function & Disability is…
• Result of a complex relationship between
health condition, participation and
contextual factors
• Contextual factors
• May hinder / cause barriers
• May facilitate
• No linear relationship between impairment /
activity / contextual factors – demonstrating
the complexity of health
Examples: Disabilities that may be associated
with the 3 levels of functioning linked to a health
condition.
Different levels of disability are linked to three
different levels of intervention.

Peter’s story (See handout and video)
PETER
Peter is a 76-year-old male who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease approximately 5 years ago. He has been referred by his
neurologist for a PT and OT consult. He lives in a two story row home in South Philadelphia with his wife, Mary. Peter reports that he
had a good understanding of his disease initially, but now feels confused. He has tried to stay active in order to maintain his level of
function. He is very involved in the community and has many long time friends. He has been taking medication, Sinemet, for about 3
years and it has “helped tremendously.”
Peter states that his condition has been steadily worsening, especially over the last 6 months. When he was diagnosed 5 years ago,
his right arm and leg seemed stiff and he had trouble moving them. Now he has more difficulty initiating his movements, especially in
the morning and after he gets to the bottom or top of the stairs. He says, “I get stuck, and I just can’t move.” He also states that it has
been taking him longer and longer to get to where he is going and he is often late for his community activities, such as attending church,
meeting friends for breakfast, and playing cards. He reported falling twice within a week about 2 months ago, both times tripping over
uneven sidewalks. Since then Mary suggested he carry a cane that she used after her hip replacement surgery ten years ago. He
reports that he is “embarrassed” to use it.
He is experiencing increased shaking, and more recently has had some difficulty eating, holding cards, and keeping his buttons on the
bingo cards. Two weeks ago when he was calling numbers for bingo, he pushed the wrong numbers several times and was very upset
and embarrassed. His wife reports that he has always carried the bags for their grocery shopping, but recently he has had difficulty
because he is “too tired.” Mary also reports that he has been getting extremely frustrated with his condition, and wonders if he is
depressed, as he has been leaving the house less frequently.
PMH: BPH, GERD, dyslipidemia, hypertension, Parkinson’s disease (PD)
Peter’s story (See handout and video) 2
Current medications:
terazosin 4mg PO daily
omeprazole 20mg PO daily
atorvastatin 10mg PO daily
hydrochlorothiazide 25mg PO daily
Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa) 50/200 ER PO at 8am, noon, 3pm, and 7 pm
Sinemet 25/100 IR at 8am, 10am and 5pm
Azilect (rasagaline) 0.5mg PO daily
Comtan (entacapone) 200mg PO four times daily
At Peter’s appointment:
VS: BP 100/68; HR 82; RR 25, T 37°C, Ht 5’11”, Wt 180 lbs
On physical examination, Peter demonstrated decreased passive and active range of motion in bilateral knee extension as well as bilateral shoulder
flexion and abduction, the right being worse than the left. He shows a slight thoracic kyphosis in both sitting and standing posture which can be
minimally corrected with cues, and almost completely corrected with manual assist. He shows decreased active and passive range of motion in trunk
extension, rotation and side bending.
There is limited shoulder ROM in BUE with greater limitations in R vs L (flexion, abduction, rotation), limitations in elbow extension bilaterally,
decreased flexion in fingers leading to decreased dexterity and coordination and in hand manipulation skills, problems with fine motor tasks such as
grasping utensils, manipulating fasteners, and handling small items such as money/coins, and cards.
While walking throughout his home, he had some “freezing” episodes. He also displays some intermittent resting tremors. Mild cogwheel rigidity is
evident in all four extremities. Sensation appears intact throughout.
Peter’s story (See handout and video) 3
Equilibrium reactions appear delayed as evidenced when challenged in standing on a flat surface. He is afraid to stand on a balance beam. He can
stand on right leg for 20 seconds with eyes open, on left for 5 seconds. He starts to fall when he closes his eyes. When walking, there is diminished
arm swing and no trunk rotation. He also has a decreased step length and a slightly narrowed base of support. Walking is worse when he is tired.
Peter manages his medications now with his wife’s help. He has a regimen of taking all his medications at 8AM every morning with his breakfast that
typically consists of eggs and bacon. He used to be very good at remembering to take the other Sinemet doses at the scheduled times, but lately is
forgetting.
His activities include: playing cards and bingo 3 days a week at the local senior center a few blocks from his home, meeting at a breakfast club 3 days
a week at the local diner, attending Sunday and Wednesday Mass, and walking his dog, Paul, at least twice a day.
Peter likes the current lifestyle that he and Mary have established, especially assisting her in household duties of shopping, carrying laundry, and
chopping/prepping for meals. He is looking for ways to decrease his symptoms.

  • 53. Peter’s story (See handout and video) PETER Peter is a 76-year-old male who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease approximately 5 years ago. He has been referred by his neurologist for a PT and OT consult. He lives in a two story row home in South Philadelphia with his wife, Mary. Peter reports that he had a good understanding of his disease initially, but now feels confused. He has tried to stay active in order to maintain his level of function. He is very involved in the community and has many long time friends. He has been taking medication, Sinemet, for about 3 years and it has “helped tremendously.” Peter states that his condition has been steadily worsening, especially over the last 6 months. When he was diagnosed 5 years ago, his right arm and leg seemed stiff and he had trouble moving them. Now he has more difficulty initiating his movements, especially in the morning and after he gets to the bottom or top of the stairs. He says, “I get stuck, and I just can’t move.” He also states that it has been taking him longer and longer to get to where he is going and he is often late for his community activities, such as attending church, meeting friends for breakfast, and playing cards. He reported falling twice within a week about 2 months ago, both times tripping over uneven sidewalks. Since then Mary suggested he carry a cane that she used after her hip replacement surgery ten years ago. He reports that he is “embarrassed” to use it. He is experiencing increased shaking, and more recently has had some difficulty eating, holding cards, and keeping his buttons on the bingo cards. Two weeks ago when he was calling numbers for bingo, he pushed the wrong numbers several times and was very upset and embarrassed. His wife reports that he has always carried the bags for their grocery shopping, but recently he has had difficulty because he is “too tired.” Mary also reports that he has been getting extremely frustrated with his condition, and wonders if he is depressed, as he has been leaving the house less frequently. PMH: BPH, GERD, dyslipidemia, hypertension, Parkinson’s disease (PD)
  • 54. Peter’s story (See handout and video) 2 Current medications: terazosin 4mg PO daily omeprazole 20mg PO daily atorvastatin 10mg PO daily hydrochlorothiazide 25mg PO daily Sinemet (carbidopa/levodopa) 50/200 ER PO at 8am, noon, 3pm, and 7 pm Sinemet 25/100 IR at 8am, 10am and 5pm Azilect (rasagaline) 0.5mg PO daily Comtan (entacapone) 200mg PO four times daily At Peter’s appointment: VS: BP 100/68; HR 82; RR 25, T 37°C, Ht 5’11”, Wt 180 lbs On physical examination, Peter demonstrated decreased passive and active range of motion in bilateral knee extension as well as bilateral shoulder flexion and abduction, the right being worse than the left. He shows a slight thoracic kyphosis in both sitting and standing posture which can be minimally corrected with cues, and almost completely corrected with manual assist. He shows decreased active and passive range of motion in trunk extension, rotation and side bending. There is limited shoulder ROM in BUE with greater limitations in R vs L (flexion, abduction, rotation), limitations in elbow extension bilaterally, decreased flexion in fingers leading to decreased dexterity and coordination and in hand manipulation skills, problems with fine motor tasks such as grasping utensils, manipulating fasteners, and handling small items such as money/coins, and cards. While walking throughout his home, he had some “freezing” episodes. He also displays some intermittent resting tremors. Mild cogwheel rigidity is evident in all four extremities. Sensation appears intact throughout.
  • 55. Peter’s story (See handout and video) 3 Equilibrium reactions appear delayed as evidenced when challenged in standing on a flat surface. He is afraid to stand on a balance beam. He can stand on right leg for 20 seconds with eyes open, on left for 5 seconds. He starts to fall when he closes his eyes. When walking, there is diminished arm swing and no trunk rotation. He also has a decreased step length and a slightly narrowed base of support. Walking is worse when he is tired. Peter manages his medications now with his wife’s help. He has a regimen of taking all his medications at 8AM every morning with his breakfast that typically consists of eggs and bacon. He used to be very good at remembering to take the other Sinemet doses at the scheduled times, but lately is forgetting. His activities include: playing cards and bingo 3 days a week at the local senior center a few blocks from his home, meeting at a breakfast club 3 days a week at the local diner, attending Sunday and Wednesday Mass, and walking his dog, Paul, at least twice a day. Peter likes the current lifestyle that he and Mary have established, especially assisting her in household duties of shopping, carrying laundry, and chopping/prepping for meals. He is looking for ways to decrease his symptoms. (Acknowledgement: George Washington University

Editor's Notes

  1. Students took greater ownership for holistic patient-centred care Students committed to IP biopsychosocialspiritual model of care, questioning the outdated, traditional biomedical approach still modelled in most medical schools. Students were able to integrate ethical and human rights issues in patient care. Students appreciated and took an interest to work in a rural and community-based setting after graduation. Students started IP community projects in response to gaps identified by applying the ICF framework while caring interprofessionally for patients.
  2. Use this example to show how there is no linear relationship between impairment activity and part Restr. Also emphasise the extent to which contextual barriers may result in part restr, irrespective of the severity or presence of impairments.
  3. Emphasize the intervention and prevention strategies linked to each element. Link to SA health care approach of primary prevention. Emphasise secondary prevention in chronic conditions. Note the need for management / containment of contextual factors to successfully integrate a patient back into society and his social roles. Service providers to be aware of the impact of these factors on pt’s ability to attend appointments, or rehab or be able to follow health care protocol.
  4. Explain perceptions. If time allows, explain impact of contextual factors if this is 1st world setting vs 3rd world setting where patient has to walk to clinic, work, stand in train etc. vs. driving to work, etc.
  5. Discuss and explain the different concepts in 10-15 minutes. Assess if students can apply it in case study to follow. Notes from Willie Pienaar in “Textbook of Psychiatry” on principle-based ethics, p.38-41. Principle-based ethics represents a number of principles, which support the shared moral values of society. These principles are always prima facie (not absolute, but always valid at face value), place a duty on the individual to respect them, and are not contrary to any other moral theory. The four principles that today form the foundation of bio-ethics arguments are (i) respect for the autonomy of every person, (ii) beneficence, (iii) non-malevolence and, (iv) justice. Every person agrees about the intrinsic value of these four principles and they are therefore often called the common-morality.   Autonomy. Everyone has a right to self-determination. This means, allowing an autonomous agent (person) the right to voice his or her own opinions, make decisions and to act according to his or her own values or belief systems. What is an autonomous agent (person)? This is someone who is free from the ‘control’ of another individual and someone who is free from limitations in his or her own decision-making. For the psychiatrist, it is often extremely difficult to judge whether a person with a mental illness is ‘free’ from the limitations to free choice. Sometimes it is easy, as when a patient is suffering from a severe psychotic disorder and is without contact with reality and is a danger to himself and possibly to others. This patient is temporarily not an autonomous person, and should the therapist be in a position to restore autonomy, it would be beneficent to intervene and treat him. In other borderline cases it might be extremely difficult to determine when one should temporarily limit autonomy and when not. Consider patients with severe depression with suicidal thoughts or patients with life-threatening anorexia nervosa. These difficult scenarios underline the essence of principle-based ethics. The principles give us good and valuable points of departure, but difficult decisions will still have to be made daily. The four principles can be opposed to one another, and that is why it is essential to weigh and balance these principles. Nevertheless, it is vital for the therapeutic team to respect the patient’s autonomy. Very good reasons should exist for the temporary suspension of the principle of respect for autonomy. (More will be said on this topic in the section Informed Consent, Competence and Therapeutic Actions). It is the duty of the therapist to empower the patient (person) or, otherwise stated, to inform the patient in such a manner that he or she is able to make informed decisions. In order to do this, the doctor must do five things:   Speak the truth Respect the patients’ privacy Respect confidentiality Obtain informed consent Aid the patient in making decisions by imparting helpful information and discussing treatment options, but only if such help is requested.   However, it is very easy for the therapist to be paternalistic. His or her knowledge, experience, skills and even good intentions contribute to this attitude. In addition, the patient’s faith in our profession and the fact that help is being requested make a paternalistic approach such a common state of affairs. We must be careful when we use the word ‘paternalism’. Paternalism may mean ‘loving father’. An example of this would be if the therapist makes a sincere decision to go against a patient’s wishes in order to ensure a better outcome for the patient or to avoid harm. In certain therapeutic situations this type of paternalism is good. Another form of paternalism can never be good. In this form, paternalism means ‘meddling’ or interfering, such as when denying the patient’s right to exert free choice, placing unnecessary pressure on a person, twisting the truth, concealing information, or performing any action that prevents autonomous decisions by the patient. The therapist must first empower the patient to make his or her own decisions. Thereafter, the therapist should accept and respect the competent patient’s decision, even a ‘wrong’ decision. Isaiah Berlin summed up the principle of autonomy eloquently in the following: Isaiah Berlin (Latvian-born British historian and liberalist, 1969)3: “I wish my life and decisions to depend on myself, not on external forces of whatever kind. I wish to be the instrument of my own, not of other men’s acts or will. I wish to be a subject, not an object: to be moved by reasons, by conscious purposes, which are my own, not causes which affect me, as it were from outside. I wish to be somebody, not nobody, a doer, deciding, not being decided for, self directed and not acted upon by external nature or by other men as if I were a thing, or an animal, or a slave… I wish, above all, to be conscious of myself as a thinking, willing, active being, bearing responsibility for my choices and able to explain them by references to my own ideas and purposes”.   Privacy means that the therapist does not intrude on the privacy of the patient. This includes unnecessary and inappropriate intimate physical contact, eliciting personal facts and attitudes, and performing inappropriate actions in the one-on-one situation. Violation of the privacy of the patient can take place at any time during the therapist-patient interaction, but it is especially a risk in a psychotherapeutic relationship. The clinical skill of the therapist in being comfortable, respectable, empathic and friendly has strong boundaries that must always be regarded.   Confidentiality refers to something that belongs to the patient that the therapist cannot give away without being given explicit consent. In psychiatric practice and in the context of the patient-therapist relationship, patients frequently share very ‘private’ personal information, sometimes spontaneously, sometimes of necessity. If this information is appropriate within the therapeutic process, the patient should be able to trust us with this information. If the patient can no longer trust confidentiality in the practice of psychiatry, we have lost the most important reason for our existence. In exceptional circumstances it would be desirable to breach the confidentially rule without the patient’s permission:   In an emergency situation in which the patient cannot provide consent and the breach of confidentiality is clearly essential for a good result. (Weigh and balance confidentiality against beneficence). When compelled to do so by the presiding officer of a court of Law, then under protest. When demanded by the Law, for example when reporting child abuse. Rarely, when another person’s rights stand to be violated (justice) the right to confidentiality might be waived (weigh and balance).   Beneficence. Beneficence means to do good to your patient. In most cases this will mean respecting the wishes, choices or preferences of the patient. In general, respect for autonomy carries a great deal of weight in current moral debates and in society. The principles of beneficence and autonomy are frequently in conflict with one another. An example would be if my patient’s requests are not in his or her best interests, or are harmful, or do not constitute good clinical practice or do not represent good professional conduct. In these cases it is sometimes just or reasonable not to comply with the patient’s request but to act in the best interests of the patient. All four principles, autonomy, beneficence, non-malevolence and justice are good, but in practice often need to be weighed against one another. If a competent person makes a wrong decision, the consequences of which are not serious and which still falls within the bounds of good clinical practice, the autonomy of the patient should have precedence.   One should, however, do good only if it is truly good. Unreasonable requests coming from competent patients cannot be complied with. An example of this would be a young man who asks the doctor to complete a sick certificate or disability claim form without good reason, or requests a ‘double’ prescription to save money. Initially, it appears to be ‘good’ to concede to the person’s requests, but these actions do not ultimately promote the common good. In practice it can become very tempting, especially when persons are in dire straits, to try to be ‘good’ and help them by ‘beating the system’. The therapist should, however, seriously consider the end result and what is ultimately the ‘good’ thing to do.   Non-malevolence. It is better to do nothing than to do harm. Therapists have a natural inclination to want to help. This tendency or attitude can sometimes be exaggerated. Since we see the therapist-patient relationship as a 50/50 one, the therapist also has the right to refuse certain actions that could be harmful. Especially in psychiatry, where we often have therapeutic dealings with patients with ‘difficult’ personality traits, we need to guard against actions that could ultimately be harmful. These difficult situations in therapy must be recognised and become part of the psychotherapeutic process.   Good clinical practice, professional standards and peer group evaluation are our measurement instruments in the healing professions.   Justice. Very few things in life are fair. The natural lottery of life may perhaps be indiscriminate, but for those who come last in it, it seems very unjust. Beauty, riches, poverty, health, love, talents, et cetera, are part of this natural lottery. The form of justice on which we shall now focus, is the justice that has been fashioned in the community by societal norms.   Justice, fairness and equity are principles toward which society must strive. This can occur through the legal system, but occurs mainly by means of changed social norms and by consensus. The principle of justice advocates that each person deserves at least a minimum degree of equality, fairness and impartiality. Can some then be afforded a greater degree of ‘fairness’ than others? Aristotle expresses it so well when he says, ‘Equals must be treated equally, but unequals must be treated unequally’. What does this ‘outrageous’ declaration mean? It means that no person should, despite all the differences between individuals, be treated ‘unequally’, except when those differences are relevant to the way in which they should be treated. We can therefore make the following practical deduction. We should make special concessions (treatments) available to young children, the cognitively impaired elderly and patients with serious mental disorders, by treating them as ‘unequals’.   One of the big dilemmas of our current health system is the affordability of health care. The science of health care is far more advanced than the level we can afford to deliver. How should we, with a small budget, perform the large masses of work that need to be done? Who do we treat and who should not be treated? We talk about distributive justice. The macro allocation of the health budget is done by the government. Here international rules hold, and differences exist between first and third world countries. The micro allocation of funds deals with how we should apply the frequently inadequate funds, the management thereof, and the channelling of funds to the man in the street. In the face of a small available budget, we must design and maintain a minimum, basic, effective health care system, affordable and available to all. This would constitute a reasonable and fair service. The application of private funding over and above the above-mentioned basic services is also admissible, but will not be discussed further here.   As mentioned, the different principles and rights of persons clash with one other. In the therapist’s employment of the weighing and balancing process to ensue good moral action, justice and reasonableness must occupy an important place. If, for example, a person with HIV/AIDS, after thorough counselling, and without good reason, still refuses to practice safe sex and inform his or her sexual partner, and insists on the therapist’s confidentiality, what course of action would be reasonable or unreasonable? Build a moral argument by asking the following questions: 1. What carries greater weight, respect for confidentiality, or fairness? 2. What are all the facts of the case? 3. What course of action will produce the best results? 4. Must the therapist base his action on good intention alone? 5. What would a good or a virtuous person do? 6. Whose rights are being violated? 7. What will the community expect from the patient and therapist? 8. And, finally, what is the therapist’s duty of care? In this simple case we have used all the moral theories discussed to build moral arguments.
