Domain VI: Professional Growth and Responsibility
Published in Nicole M. Augustine, Prevention Specialist Exam Study Guide, 2023
The principles of ethics are models of exemplary professional behavior. These principles of the Prevention Think Tank Code express prevention professionals’ recognition of responsibilities to the public, to service recipients, and to colleagues within and outside of the prevention field. They guide prevention professionals in the performance of their professional responsibilities and express the basic tenets of ethical and professional conduct. The principles call for honorable behavior, even at the sacrifice of personal advantage. These principles should not be regarded as limitations or restrictions, but as goals toward which prevention professionals should constantly strive. They are guided by core values and competencies that have emerged with the development of the prevention field.

All health care professions have codes of professional conduct that clearly identify the importance of privacy and confidentiality when supporting vulnerable people. This information is generally shared with students as they join a professional course and is reiterated across assessments. Further, all professional regulators provide social media guidance. However, E-Portfolio inhabits a hybrid digital space between assessment and personal use with students not necessarily making the connection that E-Portfolios have many features similar to social media. Therefore, this connection needs to be explained in terms of how professional conduct needs to be incorporated into the artefacts. Guidance is required as to where students should record values they hold, roles and responses that influence how they develop their professional identity for example, reflecting on practice and actions that improve teaching, support, medical plans or providing a service to clients, students or colleagues (Gaufberg et al. 2010).
Beyond the Boundaries: Ethical Issues in the Practice of Indirect Personality Assessment in Non-Health-Service Psychology
Published in Journal of Personality Assessment, 2020
The case generated strong criticism of the BAP and the conduct of the investigators from the mental health establishment, describing the professional conduct as a violation of professional ethics, finding especially objectionable the effort to deceive a defendant in a way that was unique to her psychological vulnerabilities (Janofsky, 2001; Schafer, 2001). Commentators advocated the application of an independent and sound professional judgment in a balancing test based on the American Psychological Association ethics code in weighing ethical obligations: “the consequences of doing harm to an individual as in the Squillacote matter must be balanced against the consequences of not doing such harm” (Ewing & Gelles, 2003, p. 101). Morgan and colleagues (Morgan et al., 2006) advocated awareness of limits of expertise, proper recognition of the client, and recognizing the ethical balance of “risk of harm to the individual and the risk to the welfare or safety of others in society” (p. 27). Meloy (2004) also addressed risks associated with indirect personality assessment, advocating circumspect acknowledgment of potential harm, diligent efforts to corroborate findings, and the need to be clear about limitations of uncorroborated findings.

Written explanations on why nurses were for or against professional MR showed that, regardless of nurses’ endorsement of the law, there was wide consensus that it is a nurse’s professional responsibility to protect children and to prevent child maltreatment, as the following nurses noted: Nurses who act as primary healthcare provider have the responsibility to raise out problems discovered and reduce risk or harm, as we have close relationship with patients/clients in the healthcare setting. (Female, Bachelor’s, registered nurse (RN), surgery)The role of healthcare provider is abided by the professional conduct that is to speak for the patient. I don’t think with or without legislation would influence our decision to report a suspected child maltreatment case. (Male, Master’s, RN, psychiatry)
