摘要

This commentary examines the methodological and practical implications of the Ethical Case Reflection sessions reported by Bennesved et al. (2025). We argue that Ethics Case Reflection offers a distinctive contribution to clinical ethics by surfacing both ethically desirable aspirations and problematic attitudes that shape everyday practice. By applying a qualitative descriptive design and conventional content analysis to the original session transcripts, we illustrate how Ethics Case Reflection functions not only as a tool for case-based deliberation but also as an ethics laboratory in which participants explore a broad spectrum of possibilities. We highlight the importance of skilled facilitation for recognizing moments of self-critical reflection, promoting specificity in recommended actions, and supporting attention to both patient-centred and organisational dimensions.
