RESEARCH FOCUS MODELS OF HEALTH CARE SOCIETY

PI: Willibald Stronegger

Focus: Concepts for the good life - especially in old age or at the end of life - include social norms and value orientations on health and illness. They unfold against the background of cultural paradigms and make descriptive or normative claims to varying degrees. They are always part of orders of knowledge (Michel Foucault) or of knowledge cultures. One challenge is to identify different guiding principles for shaping a healthy life and to classify them in the respective cultures of knowledge and institutional framework conditions in order to explore their potential and limits for care structures in nursing and medicine.

Networking: Cooperation exists with research institutes and with practice-oriented institutions as well as with individuals, including the Institute for Moral Theology at the Karl-Franzens-University Graz (Johann Platzer), the Institute for Ethics and Law in Medicine, University of Vienna (Stefan Dinges), the VertretungsNetz – Erwachsenenvertretung, Graz (Karin Reinmüller) and the Elisabethinen Krankenanstalten GmbH, Graz (CEO Christian Lagger).

Projects

Conference Series "Interdisciplinary Dialogue Forum Man and Finitude Goldegg"

  • In view of its embedding in diverse institutional contexts and their respective sub-sensory worlds, the humane shaping of old age and the end of life requires a scientific dialogue that is supported by openness towards all disciplines involved. With this objective in mind, the Interdisciplinary Dialogue Forum on Man and the End of Life was launched at Goldegg Castle (Pongau) in 2017. Each year, the event has its own focus topic.
  • 4th Dialogue Forum Goldegg "Between Emotion Robots and Relationship Work: The Technization of Accompaniment and Care", Goldegg, 20.-22.9.2021
  • Duration: 2017-2021
  • Funded by: Elisabethinen Krankenanstalten GmbH Graz, Land Salzburg.
  • Project partners: Stefan Dinges (Wien), Angelika Feichtner (Innsbruck), Lena Goldnagl (London/Graz), Christian Lagger (Graz), Elisabeth Medicus (Innsbruck), Johann Platzer (Graz), Karin Reinmüller (Graz).

Symposium "Conflict area medical certificate? Medical participation between professional self-image and the requirements of adult protection law"

  • The symposium aims to shed light on the conflicting medical role in the establishment of out-of-court adult representations and the different medical and legal concepts of illness and their legal consequences. Furthermore, our ambitious goal is to initiate a well-structured dialogue between medicine and law also in adult protection, similar to what has already been achieved, for example, with the precautionary dialogue in hospice and palliative care.
  • 26. April 2021, 13-18 Uhr. Palais Epstein, Dr. Karl-Renner-Ring 1, 1010 Wien.
  • Duration: 2021
  • Funded by: VertretungsNetz – Erwachsenvertretung Graz; Institute for Ethics and Law in Medicine, University of Vienna  
  • Project partners: Stefan Dinges (Wien), Johann Platzer (Graz), Karin Reinmüller (Graz).

Digitization of health care

  • The technologies of "digital health" will fundamentally transform the relationship work in health care and the social relationships of aging people. The 4th volume of the Goldegg conference book series is devoted to three ethical and legal areas of tension. In the field of tension between personal dignity and digital care, it is about balancing individual ideas about the good life with those of digitized technologies. In this way, new information technologies enable both more self-determination and more complete control of everyday life. Analogously, in the field of tension between freedom and security, technology can reinforce one aspect at the expense of the other. Finally, in the field of tension between simulation and authenticity, it is about the human consequences of the construction of reality.
