    abstract = "This research explores the intricate ethical landscape of pain management in
Maltese family medicine, emphasizing the delicate balance between opioid
prescribing practices and patient well-being, and aiming to balance effective
patient care while minimizing the risk of addiction. Rooted in Beauchamp and
Childress’ ethical principles, the study aims to provide nuanced insights into
local and global considerations, including deontological theories, rights-based
ethics, communitarianism, and ethics of care. By employing a mixedmethods
approach, the research seeks to inform evidence-based guidelines,
enhance practitioner training, and foster community dialogue. Through a
comprehensive exploration, the findings aspire to contribute not only to the
refinement of local practices but also to the broader international discourse
on responsible and patient-centred pain management",
