Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

28
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

7.8K
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...

Reason and Intuition01:37

Reason and Intuition

6.4K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Health Sciences
  • Information Systems

Background:

  • The Delphi technique, developed by Rand Corporation, traditionally builds expert consensus on uncertain issues.
  • Its application has broadened across disciplines like nursing, health, and social sciences.
  • Methodological diversity has increased, challenging traditional applications and rigor.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Critically reflect on the current application and methodological development of the Delphi technique.
  • Revisit the method's evolution and controversies, building on prior work.
  • Examine key aspects and advances of the Delphi technique, particularly concerning its flexibility and rigor.

Main Methods:

  • Critical reflection on existing literature regarding the Delphi technique.
  • Analysis of methodological diversity and its impact on traditional applications.
  • Review of emerging guidelines aimed at preserving the integrity of the Delphi method.

Main Results:

  • The Delphi technique's flexibility is a strength but also a challenge.
  • Balancing flexibility with rigor is crucial for actionable outcomes.
  • There is a need for consensus on the Delphi technique itself to ensure methodological integrity.

Conclusions:

  • The Delphi technique's evolution necessitates a critical re-evaluation of its application.
  • Achieving a balance between flexibility and rigor is essential for robust Delphi studies.
  • Further consensus on the Delphi technique's core principles is needed to guide its diverse applications.
