Week 4 Discussion

TASK

Post your initial response to one of the two topics below.

Ethics in Healthcare

Post your initial response to one of the two topics below.

Topic 1

Two nurse researchers are interested in studying whether a pain assessment tool for critical care patients is valid and reliable when applied to a group of patients who cannot communicate verbally due to mechanical ventilation. They design a validation study in which randomly selected patients will be assessed using the tool after a painful procedure (tracheal suctioning) and after a nonpainful procedure (oral care). If patient responses result in higher scores after the painful procedure than after the nonpainful one, then the researchers will conclude that the tool is effective for these patients in differentiating pain responses from responses to nursing procedures in general.

Using the definitions in the textbook:

Discuss and draw a conclusion as to whether this study will likely be exempt, expedited, or full review.

Would the study be considered ethical? Explain your rationale.

Topic 2

Research a historical experiment that impacted or helped shape the development of ethical codes and regulations. The videos from week 1 have already described some of the issues during WWII and Nazi Germany and the Tuskegee Study,  avoid using those examples as the ethical issue you select.

Discuss the experiment and discuss the rights violated within the study.

Discuss any outcomes or legislature associated with the study.

What type of consent would have been needed to make the study ethical and valid?

Week 1 Project  

Instructions

Human Research Protection

This week you will examine the concept of protecting human subjects in research. The aim is to familiarize you with the ethical issues associated with research and gain firsthand information of the processes used to protect research participants.

Search YouTube for the following videos to review:

Caring Corrupted: The Killing Nurses of the Third Reich

Research Ethics involving Human Subjects

The Belmont Report (Part One: Basic Ethical Principles)

The Belmont Report (Part Two: Applying the Principles)

Guiding Principles of Institutional Review Boards (IRB)

After viewing the videos, in a Microsoft Word document of 2-3 pages formatted in APA style, address the following criteria for each video:

Describe one point from each video that you think is important regarding protecting human subjects in research.

Your rationale for why you think the point you described is important.

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the South University Online Library.
