Kontemplasi (sudah sadar/ingin/berpikir tapi belum beraksi)
Persiapan (langkah awal utk bertindak)
Tindakan
Pemeliharaan

Health Promotion & Communication Ethics

Dimensions of Biomedical*
 Paternalism/Autonomy
 Beneficence
 Non-maleficence
 Justice

* (Beauchamp & Childress, 1989, cited in Northhouse & Northhouse, 1992)

Biomedical ethics?*

 Biomedical ethics is concerned with the application of ethical principles and theories to the problems that occur in the fields of health care and medicine
 Etik biomedis merupakan aplikasi prinsip etik dan teori masalah yang terjadi di dalam area pelayanan kesehatan dan medis
    *(Beauchamp & Childress, 1989, cited in Northhouse & Northhouse, 1992)
The distinctive challenge of health promotion ethics
Biomedics
Individually
Patient’ autonomy
The objectives of “treatment” is curing, no harm and beneficence
Health promotion
Group, community, local or national population
Initiated by professionals, not clients
The “ends” of health promotion are innately problematic and contested
The distinctive challenge of health promotion ethics
Biomedics
Takes place in social context, but they work through physical and biological process
Health promotion
Health promotion interventions work through both physical and social processes – human being in a variety of ways and cannot be as easily isolated from their cultural, economic and social contexts as can most therapeutic interventions
‘culture’ is frequently not only a context but also a working medium of health promotion

Ethics in health promotion:
 Consider the concepts of:
 Well-being/kesejahteraan
 Integrity/integritas
 Virtues/kebaikan
 Autonomy/otonomi
 Responsibility/tanggung jawab
 Civility/keberadaban
 Caring/perhatian
 Solidarity/solidaritas

Challenges in Health Promotion Ethics
Promosi kesehatan kadang diinisiasi oleh profesional daripada “klien” atau masyarakatnya sendiri
Profesional tersebut melakukan “intervensi” pada kehidupan orang lain, yang kadang “tanpa mengundang terlebih dahulu”
Berbeda dengan intervensi terapetik “individual” à ada kontrak antara terapis dan klien/pasien sebelumnya
Challenges in Health Promotion Ethics
Promosi kesehatan ditujukan pada populasi lokal, bahkan nasional, tidak hanya individu.
   Implikasinya:
Efek utk baik atau sakit akan lebih besar
Pelaksana program promosi kesehatan “sepertinya” lebih memikirkan orang-orang secara abstrak atau statistik daripada mengidentifikasi orang
Secara rutin pelaksana program promosi harus mengukur perbedaan kebutuhan dan prioritas dari kelompok dan individu
Pelaksana promosi kesehatan berhadapan dengan hubungan dengan “banyak-banyak” orang, daripada “hubungan satu satu”

Challenges in Health Promotion Ethics
 Akhir dari promosi kesehatan kadang problematik
Ada pertanyaan tentang mentargetkan usaha dan distribusi manfaatnya (dan keadilan)
Ada juga pertanyaan tentang “apa yang dipromosikan” – issu tentang arti, dan dimensi berbeda dari kesehatan
Ada pertanyaan sulit tentang konsekuensi jangka pendek dan jangka panjang (apakah mungkin promosi kesehatan mempunyai “efek non kesehatan” sebagai indikator keberhasilan program

Challenges in Health Promotion Ethics
 Promosi kesehatan ditujukan pada  manusia yang tidak dapat diisolasikan dari konteks ekonomi, budaya dan ekonomi (seperti intervensi individual)
 Intervensi promosi kesehatan dilakukan melalui proses fisik dan sosial

Challenges in Health Promotion Ethics
 Budaya tidak hanya konteks, tetapi juga medium kerja promosi kesehatan
Bagaimana caranya menilai penerimaan secara etis tentang sesuatu yang disebut rekayasa sosial atau budaya
Seberapa jauh kemungkinan untuk melakukan evaluasi intervensi promosi kesehatan lepas dari pertimbangan kontribusi untuk iklim sosial secara luas

Issues in health promotion:
 Does a particular approach respect autonomy?
 Does it bring about some benefit?
 Does it avoid harm?
 What combinations of benefit and harm does it produce?
 Dangerous to our own health à there is far less agreement on what can or should be done to make people less foolish
Where does personal choice and collective responsibility begin
How we reconcile two of our most prized social values, personal freedom and good health?
Issues in health promotion ethics:
What are the appropriate limits of the country/province/district in liberal society in regulating, restricting or prohibiting behaviors that lead to premature morbidity and mortality in shaping, molding or influencing the preferences and desires of its citizens, in protecting citizen from commercial influences that may encourage or sustain patterns of behavior that are an-ethical to the goals of public health?

A case
Pikirkan bahwa sebuah tim promosi kesehatan diminta untuk mempromosikan kesehatan pada kelompok remaja umur 16-18 tahun yang sudah tidak sekolah lagi, pengangguran, dan menggunakan sebagian besar waktunya untuk menonton televisi, pergi rame-rame, merokok, minum-minuman keras dan melakukan aktivitas seksual secara bebas.
 Apa aktivitas prioritas yang akan dilakukan?

Harm principle
What about  an injury that is threatened, on that is possible, or only remotely so, one that is merely statistical, smoking in an open-air café, for example?
What if the potential harm involves an annoyance, for example the smell of smoke in open-air?
What if act that is self-regarding in terms of injury is other-regarding in terms of economic cost, for example smoking alone?

Paternalism
We do not leave it to the discretion of  consumers, however well informed, whether or not to drink grossly polluted water, ingest grossly contaminated foods, or inject grossly dangerous drugs
We simply prohibit such things on grounds of public … to a very large extent … the justification of public health measures, in general, must be baldly paternalistic
Their fundamental point is to promote the well-being of people who might otherwise be inclined cavalierly to certain sorts of diseases
Health Communication campaigns and the censorship of advertising
Health communication campaigns that discourage certain activities or encourage the adoption of others are the most common form of intervention designed to promote healthy behavior.
They would at first appear to pose no ethical challenges.
Messages targeted at those most at risk may open the way to stigmatization and hence to the imposition of inequitable burdens.

Health Communication campaigns and the censorship of advertising
Two examples illustrate this point. In the context of the AIDS epidemic efforts to counter the tendency toward marginalization of those most at risk led to the creation of campaigns that suggested that everyone was at risk for HIV infection.
The second case involved decision made by the New York State Health Department to require the posting of warning at bar about the potential hazards of alcohol consumption during pregnancy.
The ethics of social marketing :
Is not surprising that public health officials have come to recognize that they had much to learn from the advertising industry
If, for example, advertising could convince adolescents around the world that they wanted and needed nike running shoes could they not be convinced that cigarette smoking was bad? Could not the manipulative capacity of advertising be mobilized for public health goals?
Whatever the answer to those questions will be-and the challenges of using advertising for public health goals may be substantial-social marketing raises critical ethical issues.

The ethics of social marketing :
Is the subversion of autonomy implicit in the manipulation of desire and preference ever justifiable? Can the protection of individuals from the manipulative activity of commercial advertisers justify counter-manipulation in the name of public health? Does such manipulation simply attempt to level the playing field? And does such an effort at balancing provided the ethical warrant for what otherwise might be considered morally troubling?
In testimony before Congress the American Public Health Association stated, “Advertisements should be to promote good health products and not products that kill.”
