Ethics and Bioethics01:22

Ethics and Bioethics

2.8K
Ethics is a philosophical study of moral actions. Ethics attempts to determine what is valuable for individuals and society. It examines the rational justification of moral judgments and analyzes what is morally just, fair, and right. Bioethics is a sub-discipline of applied ethics that analyzes the philosophical, social, and legal issues in life sciences and medicine. Ethical theories serve as a foundation for decision-making and represent the viewpoints from which people seek direction. They...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity01:23

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

501
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Structural Protein Function01:56

Structural Protein Function

29.9K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Long-term Depression01:05

Long-term Depression

33.2K
Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Environmental Psychology
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Health care environments, particularly the built environment, can act as interventions influencing resident experiences in long-term care (LTC).
  • Evidence-based design research highlights the clinical and behavioral impact of environmental conditions, yet these findings are not consistently applied in LTC construction and renovation.
  • Gaps exist due to divergent knowledge development across medicine, architecture, and LTC operations, leaving environmental design shortcomings unrecognized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the gap in integrating environmental design research into long-term care (LTC) settings.
  • To develop a multidisciplinary evaluative process for LTC design.
  • To improve safety, well-being, and autonomy for individuals in long-term care.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Bioethics Peer Review for Long-Term Care Design model.
  • Grounding the model in clinical ethics consultation principles.
  • Alignment of the model with the 5M geriatric framework.
  • Pilot application and evaluation in two LTC facilities.

Main Results:

  • The Bioethics Peer Review for Long-Term Care Design model provides a structured approach to evaluating LTC environments.
  • Pilot applications demonstrated the feasibility and utility of the multidisciplinary review process.
  • Lessons learned from pilot studies offer insights for refining the model and its implementation.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating ethical considerations and evidence-based design through a peer review process can enhance LTC environments.
  • The developed model offers a framework to bridge the gap between design research and practical application in LTC.
  • Future implementation of this model has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for LTC residents.
