Research and Healthcare Statistics

The first is the informed consent and self determination on behalf of the participants of the research study. Participants must be willing to participate in the research and aware of of any benefits and costs. It is required that all participants are notified of the reasoning of the research, the risks within the conduction of the research and how collected data will be used. Usually plain statements will be given, in plain language that can be understood by the participants outlining what there involvement requires and the aims of the research. Following, participants will be required to sign a consent document outlining that they are aware of the details of the research and agree on

A criterion for waiving informed consent is that, when appropriate, subjects are provided additional pertinent information after the study. In which of the following studies would it NOT be appropriate to provide subjects with information about missing elements of consent:

In order for consent to be valid, participants should be aware of all the procedures carried out in this research beforehand. They should be clearly informed about the duration of consent, risks that may occur during procedure and the purpose of the research. When conducting any tissue sample generic consent can be requested to avoid any further consent in future (Hta.gov.uk,

Discuss what is required to disclose patient information to family members, friends, and when ordered by courts or government

For this study, the first task was to approach three different participants at different times. Then, we gave each participants an informed consent verbally, which consisting of asking them if he or she would like to participant in a study for our research and methods class. Also, we would tell the participants that the study takes about five to ten minutes of their time and there is no risks involved for participating in this study. The participants who answered yes to the verbal informed consent moved to the next step of the study, where the three individuals participating in the study were randomly assigned to one of the three conditions (Foresight, Hindsight A, and Hindsight B). The Foresight, Hindsight A and Hindsight B conditions are the

Respect for human dignity includes two rights; the right to self-determination and the right to full disclosure. When conducting a research study these two rights must be maintained to ensure that the participants are not coerced into participation and that they are making the choice of their own free will. Patients must be provided with all the information necessary to make an informed decision and voluntarily participate. No deception or concealed data collection can be done because it will violate the patients’ rights.

It is the responsibility of the physician to explain the risks and benefits and to answer any questions that the patient may have. A patient must be competent to sign the informed consent or the informed consent will not be valid. If the patient is not able to consent, a power of attorney may consent for the patient (Bashore, 2012).

In the case study regarding Mr. and Mrs. G, there were many questionable areas of concern regarding ethical practices and obtainment of an informed consent. As the nurse researcher, the duty to advocate for the patient is of primary concern. The first concern recognized through this case study is that of vague description of the study. As the nurse researcher, I would need to be made aware of the data collection process and the parameters upon which the research is based. Obtainment of data to be used in research must maintain patient confidentiality. Did the researchers use patient medical records, family member interviews, patient interviews or staff involvement in patient selection? Were there any HIPPA violations in the selection process? Were the subjects informed that they were being screened for participation? I would also need to assess the preliminary review of literature that is driving this particular study. What is the appropriate time to conduct a study such as this? Is the purpose of this study going to facilitate a change in patient outcomes? Awareness of the motivation for this study and the benefit that is expected to the future

Being selected to participate in research consumes a huge amount of time and energy which intrudes the subjects’ regular activities. Therefore, informed consent is valuable as it ensures participant consent is voluntary and they are allowed the right to refuse

Informed consent is the very important first step to conducting a psychological study. Before any type of research occurs, the participants must be completely informed of what they are participating in. The explanation should include: a statement that participation is voluntary, purpose of the research, procedures involved in the research, all foreseeable risks, which include not only physical injury but also possible psychological, benefits of the research to society, length of study, person to contact for answers to questions, subjects' right to confidentiality and the right to withdraw from the study at any time without any consequences. (Reference) There are instances where it is impossible to get consent for a study.

“Respect for human beings involves giving due scope to peoples capacity to make their own decisions. In the research context, this normally requires that participation be the result of a choice made by the participants” (NHMR, 2007, p.3).  Freegard 2012 (p.60), states that “respecting the rights of others,” includes a responsibility for Health professionals “to let others know about their rights” and that this forms the basis of an informed consent.

After our participants have been selected they will be greeted and will receive an informed consent form explaining the nature of the study and how they were selected.

The researcher will collect the signed informed consent forms and the surveys once they have been completed. Participants will be informed of their rights to end participation of the study at any time they choose without the fear of adverse consequences. The researcher will prepare the population and develop survey sampling of where of the data will be collected, collect demographic information from managers, supervisors, staff members, and employees.
