MOLINA MONTOYA, Nancy Piedad. Model of Bioethical Decision Making in Health Sciences. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.1, pp.135-150. ISSN 1657-4702.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.3598.

The importance of ethical decision making in health sciences has promoted the generation of schemes that guide this process. The objective is to propose a theoretical model of bioethical decision making. We searched and reviewed the literature in databases and electronic libraries with keywords, eleven models of ethical decision making were identified and analyzed according to established parameters and results of studies on the subject were included. The schemes analyzed propose a decision making process based on a variable number of cognitive steps and, in general, provide few elements for their practical application. The Reason-Emotion Integration Model for Bioethical Decision Making in Health Sciences was proposed. This model synthesizes the cognitive steps to make appropriate decisions, by integrating reason and emotion, the possibility of applying various ethical frameworks and implementing an ethical competence and critical thinking skills.
