Key Ethical Principles

The issue of ethical principles, truth and fairness is one which can be integrated into all subjects in education as it is vital for individuals to have an understanding in. Year 10 students in health and physical education, in a unit of work will need to investigate how empathy and ethical decision making contributes to

According to Ogungbure, The aim of research ethics is to ensure that research projects involving human subjects are carried out without causing harm to the subjects involved. (Ogungbure 2011) As a nurse it is important to follow the ANA code of ethics. Being aware and practicing ethical principles will help with treating the Patient and keep them informed with their healthcare choices. Nursing in itself can be challenging and everyday you can be faced with ethical dilemmas.

I have decided to discuss ethics in Learning Disability Nursing. I selected this topic as I sought after to understand and grow my knowledge in this area. Additionally, I desired to distinguish how the values of ethics have altered towards patients with learning disabilities. Including how they compare to patients without learning disabilities.

Throughout research in Health and social care settings, there are many implications with the research, which takes place. Many research methods include ethical issues which have to be considered when conducting research. Ethical issues need to be considered when research is being conducted, in all methods of conducting the research information.

According to Belmont, three fundamental ethical principles are essentials when conducting research with children: Ethics as protection that emphasize on respect for persons; Ethics of care that emphasize on the beneficence; and Ethics of justice (Fombad, 2005; Matutina, 2009). Ethics as protection is recognizing child participants’ vulnerability and respecting their autonomy. Their vulnerability is shown on different aspects, such as rationality, maturity, language development, and intelligence. So researchers need to pay close attentions to all different aspects. Ethics of care require researchers to minimize the risks, safeguard children from any harm, and assure children’s welfare and wellbeing.

During this interview, I addressed some of parts highlighted in Ethical Principal 2.1.1 of the social work Code of ethics. I demonstrated professional demeanor and behavior by stating the confidentiality statement and I guided the client to know that she could express herself freely and openly without judgement. When the client and I first sat down I also made sure to set the mood with a relaxed “Good Morning how are you doing today” This lead to start other side conversations consequently creating an atmosphere appropriate for this type of interview. Because we could converse on other subjects besides the actual question. Thus, we could engage in effective communication from the beginning. We were also able to make good non-verbal gestures

Henrietta Lacks, a woman that died of cervical cancer in 1951, single handedly changed the field of science. Not long before she passed away, a doctor took a sample of her cancer cells, the cells from her cervix were later on named HeLa cells, and these cells helped pave the way to numerous experiments and research all over the world. Even though HeLa brought along many achievements with its discovery, it also brought disappointments to some researchers, and pain for her family. You see, she nor her family consented to her cells being sampled, or the amounts of experiments and research that occurred after. Her family was never aware that such actions even took place. Even so, on February 1st, 1951, the day Henrietta Lacks walked in to John

When taking into account the case study, four ethical principles will be examined. These are: respect for autonomy, non-malfeasance, beneficence and justice. The principles are seen as the starting points for the development of ethical approaches to care practice, providing a practical set of principles, which rather than offering direct answers to ethical dilemmas, set out useful guiding principles for practitioners when faced with controversial decisions (K217, Book 4, p34).

Those who pursue social science research (documentary work) walk quite a fine ethical line. Works of all types- from film to research studies to photography and videography including daily news stories- are open to criticism for the versions of reality they produce for their audiences. Indeed, there exist academic and professional guidelines explicitly itemizing set standards of practice for various mediums, for example- broadcast news stories, magazine articles and documentary films. And although they may have been meticulously outlined, these standards simply cannot account for all who make up the intended viewer or readership. Described as the study of human interaction and how it functions in society, social science research possesses an ethical dilemma that exists in large part because of an unavoidable subjective nature that can never be fully separated from the undertaking. American author and child psychiatrist, Robert Coles, contends this notion in his book

There are three basic principles to consider when evaluating the ethics of a study: 1) respect for persons, 2) beneficence, and 3) justice (Houser, J., 2012, pg. 54-56). To apply these

Ethics is an essential aspect of health care practice and those working in the nursing profession are often subject to frequent ethical dilemmas. It is essential for all nurses to be aware of the importance of ethics in health care and to practice within the ethico-legal parameters that govern the profession. However, while this is relatively easy in theory, ethics is not a black and white subject and often one’s culture, upbringing, attitudes and beliefs can influence what one views as ethical and this can therefore influence practice. This report will discuss the importance of ethics in nursing practice. The definition of ethics will firstly be presented followed

Ethics is very important in early childhood care. The Dahlberg & Moss (2005), defines ethics as the physical matter, which involves collective thinking on daily activities and decisions of all parties concerned. Sometimes our decision-making can be difficult as there are varieties of solutions which seem correct now. The ethical nature while working with children in their early childhood, and their families too is recognised in the service by the adoption of a professional code of ethics.

The application of moral principles in the procedure of planning, recruiting subjects, conducting research and publishing the results in the context of conducting research involving human participants can be called ethics. These principles comprise treating people with respect, consideration of all possible risks; moreover, the welfare of the participants. And treating all the subjects with fairness and equity.

This essay is aimed at my fellow students and tries to explain using some different case studies firstly what research ethics are and what happens when you don’t stick to these same ethics.
