Ethical Dilemmas II01:30

Ethical Dilemmas II

Resolving an ethical dilemma in healthcare involves a systematic approach that considers every aspect of the issue, respecting both the patient's needs and values and the healthcare professional's ethical obligations. Here are potential steps to resolve an ethical dilemma:
Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...
Ethics in Research01:56

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.
Ethical Issues01:27

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.
Ethical Concerns in Healthcare:
Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying01:21

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from emotional distress. Anger...
Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care Research
  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Ethical Research Practices

Background:

  • Reflexivity is crucial in sensitive end-of-life research but lacks institutional support in palliative care.
  • Ethical sensitivity, emotional intensity, and relational complexity necessitate structured reflexivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the creation and initial outcomes of a Reflexivity Lab.
  • To establish a structured, collective method for reflexivity within palliative care research.

Main Methods:

  • A monthly Reflexivity Lab was established in a Swiss palliative care service.
  • The Lab convenes researchers to collectively discuss methodological, ethical, and emotional fieldwork challenges.

Main Results:

  • The Lab facilitated identification of recurring reflexive issues and fostered focused collective reflexivity.
  • Scholarly outputs were generated, exemplified by an analysis of "saying goodbye" to participants.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating a Reflexivity Lab into palliative care research infrastructure institutionalizes reflexivity.
  • This offers a practical and transferable model for ongoing methodological practice.
