Agenda

Workshop

Islamic Bioethics: What is it? What is it not? And how can it help us in Practice?

Sunday: 03/12/23 ( 2pm - 5pm)
Hosted by the Initiative on Islam and Medicine, this three-hour workshop will provide attendees with insights into the growing field of Islamic bioethics. It will also equip participants with practical reasoning tools and heuristics to consider as they engage with ethical issues in clinical practice. In this inaugural year, the workshop will more heavily tilt towards conceptual and discursive foundations of the field so that future iterations can hone in on specific ‘hot’ topics and applied bioethical issues.

The workshop will be divided into a two-part didactic and a group discussion. The didactic will cover the sources of ethical thinking in the Islamic moral tradition and the main actors in Islamic bioethics discourses. The group discussion will revolve around 1 or 2 clinical cases and cover the related extant juridical rulings and moral dimensions of decision-making.

Finally, registered participants will receive relevant articles and the slide-deck, and copies of relevant books by the author will be made available for purchase.

Intended Audience: Physicians, allied health professionals, academic researchers, bioethicists, chaplains, religious leaders and policymakers interested in the intersection of religion, bioethics, and medical practice.

Note: This workshop is open to anyone who registers for the Conference on Medicine and Religion, as well as a "stand-alone" at a cost of $50.

Intervention Study

More About Study

Qualitative Study and Interviews

Fifty Muslim multiethnicity women (40 years old and above) were interviewed (6 focused group) and 19 in individual interviews. We found religious beliefs did informed mammography intention, which includes (1) the perceived religious duty to care for one’s health, (2) religious practices as methods of disease prevention, (3) fatalistic notions about health, and (4) comfort with gender concordant health care.

Quantitative Study and survey

240, 40 years of age or older, were surveyed (72 respondents were Arab, 71 South Asian, 59 African American, and 38 from another ethnicity). We found that positive religious coping and perceived religious discrimination in health settings significantly (negatively) affected mammogram adherence among Muslim women in Chicago.

3R model

Reframing “switch train tracks”
  • Keep the barriers belief intact but change the way one thinks about it so it is consonant with the desired health behavior
  • Normalizes the barrier belief
Reprioritize: “show them a better train”
  • Introduce a new belief and create higher valence for it than the barrier belief
  • Normalization of the barrier belief is optional
Reform: “breakdown the train carriage”
  • Negate the barrier belief by demonstrating its faults by appealing to authority structures
