To understand the meanings attributed by Brazilian bioethicists to the principles of universality and integrality in the Brazilian public health system.
A qualitative and exploratory research was carried out with 20 Bioethics professors in the field of public health from July 2007 to July 2008. Participants were directors and former directors of the Brazilian Bioethics Society and of its local departments. Semi-structured interviews with open questions were conducted and followed by content analysis.
With regard to the principle of the universal access of Brazilians to the public system, most of interviewees were in favor of maintaining it. However, there were divergences of the principle of integrality, with the majority being inclined to restrict it.
Bioethicists hold a plurality of moral values and difficulties to morally decide on what would be a fair health system.
了解巴西生物伦理学家对巴西公共卫生系统中普遍性和整体性原则的理解。
2007 年 7 月至 2008 年 7 月,对公共卫生领域的 20 名生物伦理学家进行了定性和探索性研究。参与者是巴西生物伦理学会及其地方部门的主任和前任主任。采用开放式半结构访谈进行访谈,并进行内容分析。
关于巴西人普遍获得公共系统的原则,大多数受访者赞成维持该原则。然而,整体性原则存在分歧,大多数人倾向于限制该原则。
生物伦理学家持有多种道德价值观,难以在道德上决定什么是公平的卫生系统。
