Healthcare Research and Ethics

Introduction

The paper focuses on the how a researcher can protect the research participant by adhering to ethical principles within healthcare research. The discussion within the content is about ethical principles in healthcare as well as in healthcare research. The harm to the research participants and protocol for the protection of research participants will also be a part of the discussion.

In our society, we are talking more and more of the "Ethics", but do we really know the meaning of this word? Ethics is a discipline that seeks to assess human behaviour from a system of values, or the requirements of compliance, and promotion of humanity. Ethics has a subjective dimension; it deals with the "good" or "bad" regarded as relative values. It depends on situations, people, and habits focusing on a particular subject.

It is a response to each situation and assessing what is best for the person right now.

Discussion

Clinical research must be understood in a social context and global where one of the main functions of the clinician is to earn the scientific and technical efficiency to achieve the most positive respond to all questions that are presented in the exercise of their activity. There is no doubt that the extensive development of medicine has reached- do in the last decades is due, above all, to push the investigation clinic has been in all areas and correct behaviour that have been apparent medical advances.

All physicians use the results of medical research in their clinical practices. To maintain their competence, the physician must be updated with current research in specialty programs through continuing medical education or continuing professional development medical journals and contacts with knowledgeable colleagues. Even if, not performing research, the physician must know how to interpret the results research and apply them to their patients. These potential problems can be solved. The values ethical physician - compassion, competence and autonomy - are also applied to medical researcher, so that there inherent conflict between the two functions. To the extent the doctor understand and follow basic rules of ethics research should have no difficulty in participating in research as an integral component of their clinical practice.

Weed and McKeown (1998) present two examples that show problems where the approach is different and allows us to understand the importance of the virtues of the investigator (739). On the one hand, pose problems related to lack of scientific rigor and the other, raise the problem of making inferences and recommendations for practice in health.

In the first aspect, the identification of misconduct in the research process is the key concept. Among the issues are clear that we must protect and educate are: manufacturing (invention), falsification and plagiarism of research. Other areas have less agreement, but they are no less important, as the rules of authorship of research, the misuse ...
