The purpose of this study was to investigate how physical therapists construct morality and ethics in their lives and in their clinical practices. I conducted a series of interviews to solicit the life and clinical experiences of five physical therapists. Because the participants highlighted their own transcripts for instances of morality and ethics, they became active participants in the analysis and interpretation in this study. Through this interview-collaboration process several themes and subthemes were developed illustrating morality and ethics.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of this study was to investigate how physical therapists construct morality and ethics in their lives and in their clinical practices. I conducted a series of interviews to solicit the life and clinical experiences of five physical therapists. Because the participants highlighted their own transcripts for instances of morality and ethics, they became active participants in the analysis and interpretation in this study. Through this interview-collaboration process several themes and subthemes were developed illustrating morality and ethics.
520 $a All of the participants experienced a common Western metanarrative tradition while growing up that included Judeo-Christian morality, spiritualism, and a Protestant work ethic. In addition, the participants were influenced by community values that at times helped to reinforce, and at other times were at odds with, their Judeo-Christian morality. These two influences continued to interact and to influence the participants' moral understanding. The result was that the participants formed a matrix of core values from which they unconsciously derived many of their moral intuitions. The participants' use of language and metaphor reflected their moral understanding and structured their patterns of ethical decision-making.
520 $a In addition, all of the participants described moral dilemmas and made ethical decisions in their daily clinical practices. Many of the participants initially made sense of moral dilemmas through a process of moral imagination (listening and interpreting the language and viewpoints of others) and through emotional reactions to new (nonprototypical) situations. Furthermore, many of the moral dilemmas resulted from a health care system that valued cost control over patient care. In response, each of the participants developed imaginative ways of caring for their patients and themselves within the imposed financial constraints of managed care.
520 $a An implication of this study is that our basic moral concepts are unconsciously grounded in our experiences and the stories we recall about ourselves. In clinical practice and education, physical therapists should learn to attend to the language and stories of their patients in order to understand the moral framework of others, and to help them make better-informed judgments about the consequences of ethical decisions.
