ABSTRACT
Prehospital emergency health services is one of the important links of the emergency health system chain that are critical for life saving and disability prevention goals. Due to its unpredictable environment-patient profile and its compelling nature to health professionals, fast and accurate decisions should be taken in favor of patients who demand this service in prehospital health services. Ethical problems are frequently encountered in the prehospital fields due to unusual situations in service delivery. Health professionals in this field need to have high ethical sensitivity in order to quickly identify and solve the ethical problems that they encounter. Ethical sensitivity, understood as an individual's ability to identify and attach importance to moral problems when they arise, is often recognized as a key competence and a prerequisite for ethical behavior in professional life. The usage of moral intelligence, which is a significant skill in the realization of ethical sensitivity, is of great importance. Moral intelligence, recently recognized concept in the field of health, consists of several interrelated parameters. It is known that the individuals with high moral intelligence levels exhibit more ethical behaviors. In this study, it is aimed to emphasize the significance of the concept of moral intelligence for the health professionals in the delivery of prehospital emergency health services. It is thought that the operationalization of moral intelligence parameters by health professionals in prehospital emergency health services will positively affect patient-employee interaction and service quality.

Keywords: Moral intelligence; prehospital emergency health; ethical sensitivity; professional ethics
ÖZET
Acil sağlık sistemi zincirinin halkalarından birini oluşturan hastane öncesi acil sağlık hizmetleri, yaşam kurtarma ve sakatlığı önleme hedefleri bakımından tartışılmaz bir öneme sahiptir. Öngörülemeyen ortam-hasta profiline sahip olması ve sağlık profesyonellerini zorlayıcı yapısı nedeniyle hastane öncesi sağlık hizmetlerinde bu hizmeti talep edenlerin lehine hızlı ve doğru kararlar alınması gerekmektedir. Hizmet sunumunda olağan dışı durumlar yaşanması nedeniyle hastane öncesi alanda etik sorunlarla sık karşılaşılmaktadır. Alandaki profesyonellerin, karşılaştıkları etik sorunları hızla tanımlayarak çözüme ulaştırabilmeleri için yüksek etik duyarlılığa sahip olmaları gerekir. Bireyin ahlaki sorunlar ortaya çıktığı zaman bunları belirleme ve önem atfetme yeteneği olarak anlaşılan etik duyarlılık, genellikle profesyonel yaşamda kilit bir yeterlilik ve etik davranışın bir ön koşulu olarak kabul edilmektedir. Etik duyarlılığın yaşama geçirilmesinde önemli bir beceri olan ahlaki zekânın kullanılması büyük bir öneme sahiptir. Sağlık alanında yeni farkına varılmış bir kavram olan ahlaki zekâ birbiriyle bağlantılı çeşitli parametrelerden oluşmaktadır. Ahlaki zekâ düzeyleri yüksek olan bireylerin daha fazla etik davranışlar sergilediği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, ahlaki zekâ kavramının hastane öncesi acil sağlık hizmetlerinin sunumunda sağlık profesyonelleri için öneminin vurgulanması amaçlanmıştır. Hastane öncesi acil sağlık hizmetlerinde ahlaki zekâ parametrelerinin sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından işler hâle getirilmesinin hasta-çalışan etkileşimini ve hizmet kalitesini olumlu yönde etkileyeceği düşünülmektedir.
