Study Notes
Ethical Considerations in Research
- Research is a systematic effort to understand a subject and uncover truths that benefit humanity.
- Research ethics are crucial, as history shows the misuse of research subjects (e.g., WWII medical experiments).
- The Nuremberg Code (1947) established ethical guidelines for human experimentation.
- The Helsinki Declaration (1964), a medical ethics document, still serves as a benchmark for medical research.
- The Nuremberg Code and Helsinki Declaration were reviewed and amended in 1982 and then further revised in 1992, with global ethical guidelines for research on human subjects being established.
- Researchers need both methodological and ethical expertise.
Ethical Qualities of Researchers
- Integrity: Research findings should be truthful. Researchers must be honest in their data representation; avoid altering or manipulating data.
- Objectivity: Scientists must avoid bias. Results must be presented as observed; no fabrication or alteration..
- Respect for persons: Research subjects must be treated with dignity and compassion. Their needs must come first when conducting research.
- Confidentiality: Research participants' privacy should be protected. Subjects have the right to anonymity.
- Avoiding Harm: The safety of research subjects is paramount. Researchers should take preventive steps to minimize risk to subjects and maintain their well-being.
- Informed Consent: Research participants must understand the research protocol completely. Subjects must sign off that they completely understand, and explicitly agree to participate.
- Voluntary Participation: Subjects' autonomy is critical; they can freely choose to participate or withdraw from a study at any time.
- Transparency: Researchers should present their study methodology and findings openly and honestly.
- Expertise: Researchers must have adequate training and experience to conduct the study successfully and responsibly.
- Collaboration: Collaborative effort with other researchers to achieve quality results if needed.
Vulnerable Populations
- Protection of children: Research with children requires parental or guardian consent.
- Protection of pregnant women & nursing mothers: Research protocols with this group must specifically address potential risks and benefits for both mother and child. Risk avoidance is paramount.
- Persons with disabilities: Research on individuals with disabilities needs careful consideration of their needs and accommodations. Special measures must be taken to ensure voluntary participation.
Research on Animals
- Appropriate animal care is essential. Researchers need to demonstrate concern for animal welfare.
Withdrawal from Research
- Subjects have the right to withdraw from a study at any point without penalty.
- Researchers should anticipate withdrawals or drop-outs and plan accordingly.
Confidentiality
- Confidentiality of research results and participants' data is vital.
- Participants' privacy must be prioritized; results should not reveal subject identities.
