v.1. Thesis - Converting potential organ donors: a situational analysis of Australian physicians -- v.2. Professional portfolio - A clinical investigation of acceptance and commitment therapy and its application in health psychology
Summary
This theory-building research suggests that the key to unlocking Australia's potential organ donor pool is to reduce the ethical ambiguity and legal uncertainty plaguing physicians' interepretation of the patients's best interests standard. This may generate a greater acceptance of organ donation as part of end-of-life patient care amongst our physicians
