Özet:
COST Action EDEM CA21137 - Ethics in Dementia (EDEM) will
hold a Management Committee (MC) & Working Group (WG) Meeting in Istanbul Acibadem
University on September 4-5, 2025. The Local Host of the COST-EDEM Istanbul
Meeting will be the History of Medicine and Ethics Department at Acibadem
University School of Medicine represented by Prof. Dr. Yesim Isil Ulman, a
member of the Action. The COST Action EDEM aims to reduce burnout and moral
distress among caregivers and promote the dignity, autonomy, and quality of
life of people with dementia, as a health challenge on the rise. With its two
hundred known disease forms, dementia poses healthcare, societal and ethical
issues to handle on a value based intervention.
Their gradual cognitive loss complicates retainment of
autonomy and agency, and causes a number of ethical care dilemmas, including:
balancing beneficence with freedom, deciding on the best interest of patient and
recognising that the needs of the person with dementia may sometimes conflict
with the needs of others who also deserve consideration. EDEM addresses this
challenge. By involving a multitude of stakeholders in developing an ethical
framework, recommendations and an educational toolkit available for use across
Europe, EDEM aims at improving dignity, autonomy and quality of life of people
with dementia, as well as reducing burnout and moral distress among caregivers.
Within the scope and aims of the COST Action EDEM will dedicate Istanbul Meeting on the ongoing and planned works, book projects and collaborative studies of the WG 3, WG 4, WG 5 during two days in Istanbul Acibadem University.
