Qlt1 Task 1

Awareness of what health threats I might be susceptible to, and information I learned in this course about health behavior change has led me to take primary and secondary prevention actions (Straub, 2014, pp. 204). Knowing that I have a predisposition to breast cancer, ovarian cancer, hypertension, and heart problems has motivated me to exercise and improve my physical fitness, and visit the doctor more regularly to stay as healthy as possible and keep myself from getting sick. I don’t do drugs or drink alcohol because such behaviors can cause short-term and especially long-term health consequences. These are examples of primary prevention. At a recent visit to the doctor, I was informed that I have high cholesterol,

She stated that her mother watches her children when needed, and reported no incidents ever occurring. Monica also stated that she does not have any knowledge of CPS ever being involved in their home growing up. Monica stated that she supports the placement and believes

According to the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2007, the assessment of risk-benefit ratio and consent from the participants are two important concerns of conducting any human research. These two issues help the participants to make an informed decision so that they can understand and outweigh the significance and possibilities of harm independently (Emanuel, 2008). Being a researcher, I would follow the National Statement on Ethical Conduct In Human Research 2007, hence, I must assess the magnitude of possible harm (physical, psychological, social, economic or legal) for the participants and handling the risk by identifying resources and monitoring them, thus, reducing the risk of their occurrence. (National statement on ethical conduct in human research,

Our study will comply with standard ethical research procedures. We will obtain informed consent from our participants before they participate in our study. Our potential participants will be fully informed about what will happen during our study; in addition, they will understand the effects that our study will have on them and our research (Grinnell, Unrau, and Williams, 2014). We will not use bribery, deception, threats, or any other forms of coercion in order to gain participants for our study. The physical/emotional safety of the participants will come before the research; therefore, we will adhere to all ethical research procedures.

As any other clinical research study different ethical issues could arise while conducting my practicum experience. Providing an effective informed consent process is an important ethical aspect that will be thoroughly managed during research design and while recruiting the 150 participants. Respect for potential and enrolled subjects is another topic that will be considered to avoid having ethical problems that will prevent for this to happen. The risk-benefit ratio will also be studied for this to be favorable for the participants.

There are several issues faced in this study case. All three principles (respect for persons, beneficence, and justice) that researchers are supposed to abide by are questioned in this study. Were the participates consider to have autonomy, if not did the researchers still continue? Was proper informed consent giving? If so, was the information fully comprehended? Was their agreement to participate coerced or voluntary? These questions help determine if the researchers had respect for person. In the case of beneficence, were the benefits of the experiment maximized and were the risk minimized? Was there any harm caused to the men? Were they aware of the potential harm? Was it justified why a vulnerable population was chosen to conduct the

Colin Robson and Kieran McCartan address that “…research, carried out with the best of intentions, becomes unethical because of such effects.” (Robson and McCartan, 2011: 208) These are called ‘unintended consequences.’ They go on to describe an article called, ‘The unanticipated consequences of planned social action’ (Merton, 1936), in which research was carried out and resulted in negative, unplanned repercussions. While this is never the aim of any research, it is appropriate to address that these outcomes can happen, as well as the reasons these might happen. Before beginning research, ethical considerations are put in place to properly protect both participants from harm and the researcher’s mode of study. Two of the most crucial to be considered are informed consent and confidentiality. Each of those come with their own

Throughout the research, the researchers have adopted Ethical Standards holding the knowledge as to what is wrong, as such, we had focused and proceeded towards what is right. This is done in order to prevent against conflicts arising in the research and developed solutions to prevent and combat them. These standards include principles in which were followed promoting values such as trust, good behavior and fairness. The researchers avoided being bias in terms of the information received and towards participants.

The investigator will ensure that ethical research is conducted. In this case, the respondents will give their informed consent before participating in the research and their privacy and anonymity will be maintained. Consequently, the ethics of working with vulnerable people will be

Aiken, Clarke, Sloane, Sochalski, and Silber (2002) study’s protocol was approved by the institutional review board (IRB) of the University of Pennsylvania for the utilization of patient/nurse data. Such board ensures that the study plan meets federal requirements for ethical research including that the risk to participants is minimized, informed consent was required and accurately documented, provisions were conducted to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the data. (Polit & Beck, 2004) The researchers are required to go through formal training on ethical conduct and become certified. The study showcased no signs of coercion, breach of confidentially, or lack of safeness. There are strict guidelines in order to be sponsored by the IRB, therefore it can be said that these researchers took the appropriate step to minimize, prevent and minimize

The researcher followed ethical guidelines from BCS (2015). Avoiding harm to participants, was one of the most important issues, due to nature of the unstructured interviews, areas of sensitivity could have been delved into, thus care and sensitivity was needed always. The participants understood their right to withdraw at any time within the research (Boyce, Neale 2006). The researcher referred to the  BSC Guidelines (2015), moreover, informed consent is number 4 (iii) in these guidelines. participants were initially approached with sample questions from the semi structured questionnaires, it was explained that follow up interviews would be conducted around these questions on a more informal level of conservation. Due to the unpredictable

Research ethics specifies the way the researchers’ ought to conduct themselves while conducting scientific research (Shrader-Frechette, 1994). As this research involved the participation of humans, it was important to let them

With such a strong pressure for researchers to share participant data with other colleagues, there is an urgent need to review possible ethical concerns surrounding such a practice to determine if it is moral. The aim of this essay is to discuss whether disclosing personal and unique information of participants to researchers not directly involved in the study should be made mandatory. Sharing will be defined as restricted-data sharing, where other health

Before carrying out the present study the ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional ethical clearance committee. Before the start of the study, the purpose and methodology of the study was explained to each of the subject and informed consent was obtained.
