It is argued that dignity can be considered both subjectively, taking into account individual differences and idiosyncrasies, and objectively, as the foundation of human rights. Dignity can and should also be explored as both an other-regarding and a self-regarding value: respect for the dignity of others and respect for one’s own personal and professional dignity. These two values appear to be inextricably linked. Aristotle’s doctrine of the mean enables nurses to reflect on the appropriate degree of respect for the dignity of others and of respect for themselves. To develop an understanding of the rationale for and the significance and implications of dignity in health care practice, a view of human nature is proposed that implies vulnerability and fallibility, and that urges that an ethic of aspiration is embraced. Anonymized vignettes are included to illustrate points about the everyday nature of dignity.

It is important that in the future, nursing practice is framed with the humanoid nurse robot (HNR) functionality as a sure partner capable of expressing compassion that mimics human persons. Sr. Trecella May Macalam, SPC, a member of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres congregation, and doctoral student of St. Paul University Philippines and Dr. Rozzano Locsin, nurse theorist and author of the theory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing (TCCN) discuss the futurist idea of HNR’s capability to express compassion in nursing. Locsin’s theory has inspired the utility of advancing machine technologies in health care practice. Framing explanations and descriptions between human persons and HNRs as intelligent healthcare robots (IHRs) stimulate future nursing care in many ways. The theory of TCCN inspired “knowing persons as caring” as a process of nursing. In the future, this theory will most likely influence the inevitability and dependency of nursing through compassion in nursing by HNRs.

Research Investment

Implementation is the use of strategies to adopt and integrate evidence-based health interventions and to change practice patterns. In their article, “Implementation—the missing link in the research translation pipeline,” Lynch et al1 report that only a small fraction of published stroke rehabilitation research in leading clinical journals evaluates the implementation of evidence-based interventions into health care practice. Their findings are a wake-up call. If we are to achieve the end goals of our research investment and improve population health, then we need to also ensure that the evidence we generate is translated into real-world use.

Abstract Although efficiency is a core concept in health economics, its impact on health care practice still is modest. Despite an increased pressure on resource allocation, a widespread use of low-value care is identified. Nonetheless, disinvestments are rare. Why is this so? This is the key question of this paper: why are disinvestments not more prevalent and improving the efficiency of the health care system, given their sound foundation in health economics, their morally important rationale, the significant evidence for a long list of low-value care and available alternatives? Although several external barriers to disinvestments have been identified, this paper looks inside us for mental mechanisms that hamper rational assessment, implementation, use and disinvestment of health technologies. Critically identifying and assessing internal inclinations, such as cognitive biases, affective biases and imperatives, is the first step toward a more rational handling of health technologies. In order to provide accountable and efficient care we must engage in the quest against the figments of our minds; to disinvest in low-value care in order to provide high-value health care.

Evidence Based Health Care

ZusammenfassungDie Prinzipien der evidenzbasierten Medizin werden inzwischen auf nahezu alle Gesundheitsberufe angewandt. Damit stehen Wissenschaftler und Praktiker in der Sport- und Bewegungstherapie nicht nur vor der Herausforderung zielgruppen- und Setting-spezifische Interventionen zu entwickeln, sondern diese auch adäquat zu evaluieren. Trotz zahlreicher Studien ist die externe Evidenz für die Wirksamkeit von Bewegungsförderung allerdings gering. Dies ist neben der oft geringen methodischen Qualität der einzelnen Studien auch auf die großen Herausforderungen bezüglich der klinischen Relevanz von Studienergebnissen zurückzuführen.Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt zunächst das Konzept der evidenzbasierten Gesundheitsversorgung (Evidence-Based Health Care) (EbHC) vor. Davon ausgehend werden wichtige Arbeitsschritte bei der Planung einer Interventionsstudie vorgestellt, wobei insbesondere der Aspekt der Relevanz fokussiert wird.
