For this reason, there is a substantial need for further medical dementia research. People with dementia have the right to decide whether or not they want to participate in clinical research on the basis of their free informed consent. High standards for the informed consent process and the assessment of decision-making capacity are important to protect potential research participants.<\/p>\r\n<p>ENSURE is an international and interdisciplinary collaboration involving the following project partners:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uni-frankfurt.de\/52220650\/FFIA?legacy_request=1\">The Frankfurt Forum for Interdisciplinary Ageing Research<\/a>, Goethe University Frankfurt<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bioetica.porto.ucp.pt\/en\">The Institute for Bioethics<\/a>, Catholic University of Portugal<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/investigacion.udc.es\/en\/Research\/Details\/G00080\">The Department of Philosophy of Law<\/a>, School of Law, University of A Coru\u00f1a<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>ENSURE involves researchers from gerontology, psychology, psychiatry, law and medical ethics. The project aims to enhance the capacity to consent of people with dementia, to improve the assessment of decision-making capacity, to protect those who do not have the capacity to consent, and to ensure that the inclusion of people with dementia in neuroscientific and medical research is ethically justifiable. The Bochum subproject focuses on ethical and conceptual questions regarding informed consent and decision-making capacity.<\/p>\r\n<p>Within the thematic context of ENSURE, Jochen Vollmann and Jakov Gather serve as trustees of the German Academy for Ethics in Medicine and Matth\u00e9 Scholten and Astrid Gieselmann as experts for the AMWF S2k clinical guideline \u201cInformed consent to medical treatment for persons with dementia.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<h5>RESEARCHERS:<\/h5>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ethik.geschichte.med.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de\/en\/dr-med-jakov-gather-m-a\/\">Jakov Gather<\/a>\u00a0(Projektleitung)<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ethik.geschichte.med.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de\/matthe-scholten\/\">Matth\u00e9 Scholten<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ethik.geschichte.med.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de\/jochen-vollmann\/\">Prof. Dr. Dr. Jochen Vollmann<\/a>\u00a0(Projektleitung)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"projects\">\r\n<h4>Psychiatric Advance Directives<\/h4>\r\n<h5>Project description:<\/h5>\r\n<p>Advance directives are documents that enable patients to articulate their treatment choices for later periods of incompetence. In psychiatry, advance directives are particularly helpful for service users who suffer from disorders that may entail recurrent phases of temporary incompetence, such as bipolar, depressive and schizophrenic disorders. Psychiatric advance directives can strengthen the autonomy of psychiatric service users and increase their share in medical decision-making. In addition, they can lead to a reduction of involuntary treatment and coercion rates.<\/p>\r\n<p>The implementation of psychiatric advance directives raises several fundamental ethical concerns. How, for example, should mental health professionals deal with advance directives in which patients indiscriminately reject all forms of psychiatric treatment? Should psychiatric advance directives be revocable at any time or should psychiatric service users have the right to exclude the possibility of revocation under conditions of incompetence?<\/p>\r\n<p>Besides the ethical questions that arise in the context of advance directives, their implementation in clinical practice also raises several empirical issues. Although many psychiatric service users express interest in advance directives, in practice few of these documents are actually completed. This may be caused by barriers to the implementation of psychiatric advance directives such as limited time resources in psychiatric practice and lack of access to completed directives.<\/p>\r\n<p>A dissertation project will identify the institutional barriers and difficulties in the implementation process of advance directives. By means of a nationwide quantitative questionnaire, the attitudes, knowledge and experience of psychiatrists with regard to various forms of psychiatric advance care planning will be investigated. The data will be analyzed by means of descriptive statistics.<\/p>\r\n<h5>RESEARCHERS:<\/h5>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ethik.geschichte.med.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de\/en\/dr-med-jakov-gather-m-a\/\">Jakov Gather<\/a><\/li><li>Astrid Gieselmann<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ethik.geschichte.med.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de\/jochen-vollmann\/\">Prof. Dr. Dr. Jochen Vollmann<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"projects\">\r\n<h4>Ethical expertise in clinical practice: An empirical-ethical inquiry into normative competence in value conflicts in psychiatry<\/h4><p>Ruhr University Bochum<br\/>Researchers: <a href=\"https:\/\/ethik.geschichte.med.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de\/en\/dr-phil-joschka-haltaufderheide-m-a\/\">Joschka Haltaufderheide<\/a> und <a href=\"https:\/\/ethik.geschichte.med.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de\/jochen-vollmann\/\">Prof. Dr. Dr. Jochen Vollmann<\/a><br\/>2017-2018<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"projects\">\r\n<h4>Winter school: Beneficial coercion in medicine?
