Description
Moral reasoning Competencies Development in Community Pharmacists in Ireland. (PhD thesis). Professional ethics education as proposed in 'Moral Development in the Professions: Psychology and Applied Ethics' (Rest & Narvaez, 1994) incorporates the Four Component Model (FCM) of morality, namely moral sensitivity, reasoning , motivation and implementation, as interactive elements in the development of a professional (Bebeau & Monson, 2008; Bebeau, 2002; Bebeau & Thoma, 1999). Moral reasoning is the component specifically considered in this study, which reviews the development of moral reasoning competencies, as measured by a psychometric measure known as the DIT2 (Rest et al, 1999a, 1999b), following an educational intervention incorporating profession-specific dilemmas. Participants in the educational intervention had all been, at the time, registered pharmacists for at least three years and working in community pharmacies, referred to as Retail Pharmacy Businesses (RPBs) in the Pharmacy Act (Pharmacy Act, 2007). Research in other professions, e.g. dentistry (Bebeau, 2002) and business (Jones, 2008), indicates that even relatively short profession-specific educational programmes (referred to as an intervention for the purposes of this research) can lead to significant improvements in moral reasoning competencies, especially when the design, development and delivery of the intervention is context-appropriate. The question that this research aimed to address was whether a similar intervention could impact on community pharmacists using the Irish context as a study environment. This study therefore included the design, development and delivery of a profession-specific educational intervention, delivered over 16 weeks as a blended learning programme, in order to consider its impact on moral reasoning competencies in community pharmacists in Ireland as measured by the DIT2.Recognition
