The National Rural Bioethics Project has conducted a number of research studies that:
-
identify the bioethics-related issues that develop in rural healthcare settings;
-
identify existing resources that respond to those issues;
-
identify the need for culturally compatible ethics-related resources; and
-
develop, pilot-test and disseminate such resources to rural communities and healthcare settings.
The confluence of findings from the research efforts studies indicate that bioethics-related resources that respond to either organizational or clinical issues, are scarce in rural areas. In fact, most rural hospitals have no access to any ethics-related resources. In addition, most rural healthcare providers have received limited training in bioethics. Healthcare providers say they want and need resources that help them solve ethical problems that accompany patient care. Below are links to descriptions of the research studies and articles describing key findings.
