The predictive values of a Deliberative and a Paternalistic Attitude 123 5 on how to remain patient-oriented and, at the same time, not yield to pressure. In addition to that, they could be trained to learn to stick to the moral choice ultimately.   CONCLUSION This study suggests that yielding to pressure is influenced by moral deliberation and not by paternalism. More specifically, it suggests that that healthcare professionals with a high degree of moral deliberation are more prone to yield to pressure exerted by a patient and less prone to yield to other types of pressures that seem to go against the patient’s interest. However, further research is needed to reach more definite conclusions.
