Had he not enough faith? Was God punishing him or James?

Case Study: Healing and Autonomy

Mike and Joanne are the parents of James and Samuel, identical twins born 8 years ago. James is currently suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, kidney failure. James was originally brought into the hospital for complications associated with a strep throat infection. The spread of the A streptococcus infection led to the subsequent kidney failure. James’s condition was acute enough to warrant immediate treatment. Usually cases of acute glomerulonephritis caused by strep infection tend to improve on their own or with an antibiotic. However, James also had elevated blood pressure and enough fluid buildup that required temporary dialysis to relieve.
The attending physician suggested immediate dialysis. After some time of discussion with Joanne, Mike informs the physician that they are going to forego the dialysis and place their faith in God. Mike and Joanne had been moved by a sermon their pastor had given a week ago, and also had witnessed a close friend regain mobility when she was prayed over at a healing service after a serious stroke. They thought it more prudent to take James immediately to a faith healing service instead of putting James through multiple rounds of dialysis. Yet, Mike and Joanne agreed to return to the hospital after the faith healing services later in the week, and in hopes that James would be healed by then.
Two days later the family returned and was forced to place James on dialysis, as his condition had deteriorated. Mike felt perplexed and tormented by his decision to not treat James earlier. Had he not enough faith? Was God punishing him or James? To make matters worse, James’s kidneys had deteriorated such that his dialysis was now not a temporary matter and was in need of a kidney transplant. Crushed and desperate, Mike and Joanne immediately offered to donate one of their own kidneys to James, but they were not compatible donors. Over the next few weeks, amidst daily rounds of dialysis, some of their close friends and church members also offered to donate a kidney to James. However, none of them were tissue matches.
James’s nephrologist called to schedule a private appointment with Mike and Joanne. James was stable, given the regular dialysis, but would require a kidney transplant within the year. Given the desperate situation, the nephrologist informed Mike and Joanne of a donor that was an ideal tissue match, but as of yet had not been considered—James’s brother Samuel.
Mike vacillates and struggles to decide whether he should have his other son Samuel lose a kidney or perhaps wait for God to do a miracle this time around. Perhaps this is where the real testing of his faith will come in? Mike reasons, “This time around it is a matter of life and death. What could require greater faith than that?”

In a total of 500 words, describe how principalism would be applied according to the Christian worldview.

Week 3 paper

This assignment will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically analyze a case. Organizing the data in this way will help you apply the four principles and four boxes approach.

Based on the “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and other required topic study materials, you will complete the “Applying the Four Principles: Case Study” document that includes the following:

Part 1: Chart

This chart will formalize the four principles and four boxes approach and the four-boxes approach by organizing the data from the case study according to the relevant principles of biomedical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.

Part 2: Evaluation

This part includes questions, to be answered in a total of 500 words, that describe how principalism would be applied according to the Christian worldview.

What distinguishes the person who engages in health enhancing behaviors from those who do not? Who will perform health protective behavior and who will not and who is at risk of engaging in health harming behaviors?

Why Are We Interested In Health Behaviors


As psychologists, we are interested in health behavior for a number of reasons, the main
one being that we believe that behavior patterns are modifiable and thus there is potential to intervene to change behavior and thus modify health outcomes. As such, we are interested in all sorts of health behaviors. What distinguishes the person who engages in
health enhancing behaviors from those who do not? Who will perform health protective
behavior and who will not and who is at risk of engaging in health harming behaviors? Once we have identified the health behaviors we can start to address such questions, but before we can do that we need to identify the factors that influence the engagement in or
avoidance of specific behaviors – these we refer to as the ‘antecedents of behavior’ (this
will be explored in the next unit)

What Is Risk? How do individuals understand risk? How many of you are really confident you understand the probability calculations that lie behind the 0.05 alpha level?

Understanding Of Risk


What Is Risk?

How do individuals understand risk?

This largely depends on the question that is asked. If we ask: ‘what are the risks of
smoking?’ we are equating risk with potential negative consequences, such as developing cancer or heart disease. However, if we ask: ‘what is the risk that a non-smoker will develop heart disease?’ we are equating risk with the probability or likelihood of an outcome. Probability is difficult enough to understand, as a student of statistics: how many of you are really confident you understand the probability calculations that lie behind the 0.05 alpha level? However, when we ask ‘how risky is smoking?’ we are asking about both the negative consequences and the probability of those consequences occurring. Someone may understand the consequences of an action in relation to their health. They may not, however, understand the probability of those consequences occurring in general or on their own individual risk levels.  As such, risk perceptions consist of beliefs about the potential consequences of behaviour, beliefs about the probability of occurrence and beliefs about personal risk in the knowledge of any factors that might modify that risk. These beliefs, as with any other set of beliefs, can be influenced by a multitude of factors – consider the influences on health beliefs we covered during Unit 1.

s this building on previous research? Will it improve the understanding of the experience of illness? Will it help individuals with the condition maintain health behaviors?


Description of Assessment


You are required to submit a 15minute narrated presentation which proposes a research study to satisfy learning outcomes 1, 2 and 3. Your presentation should be written for an academic audience (imagine you are delivering the presentation at the university and both staff and students may attend).
Your presentation must be evidencebased, demonstrate breadth of reading and familiarity with relevant literature and be referenced throughout. You must provide a full narrated presentation i.e. an audio over Powerpoint presentation with narrated slides. The presentation must be no more than 15 minutes long. Your narrated research proposal is intended to identify a research study in the area of
health psychology. Broadly the research proposal must address 1) what you plan to accomplish, 2) why do you want to do it, 3) how are you going to do it.
