NURS693 Week 6 Discussion 1 & 2 latest 2018

DQ1 Although you are not implementing your project at this point and conducting studies with human participants, IRB is an important step in research. State the required components one should look for in a project to determine if IRB submission is needed. Discuss an example of a research study found in one of your literature review articles that needed IRB approval. Specifically, describe why IRB approval was needed in this instance.

DQ2 Visit the Yale Center for Bioethics Cases in Research Ethics website. Choose one of the three cases below to read and respond to in this week’s discussion. Be sure to read the background of the study, the ethical and regulatory issues raised by the IRB, and the comments presented at the end of each case.

Choose from one of these three cases:

Case 1: Payments to subjects who are substance abusers

Case 5: Reasonable right to privacy for patients accessing hospital services

Case 6: An ethnographic study of homeless adolescents

Address the following in your response:

Identify the key ethical issues that are questioned in this case and the category of risk: physical, psychological, social, or economic harm.

Do you feel the level of questioning and concern by the IRB was appropriate? Were you surprised by any of the IRB’s decisions? Explain.

Identify a risk or red flag in this study that you may not have considered on your own prior to reading this study.

Present a new perspective you gained about the IRB, the type of study you read about, the ethics involved, or human subject research processes.

In your replies to peers, respond to at least one peer who chose a different study.

NURS693 Assignment: Week 7 Predictions, Outcomes, and Variables

Develop your project predictions and desired outcomes portion of your paper using the following as starting points:

Describe the desired outcomes: Specifically, state the purpose, focus, and viewpoint of the project as well as its expected accomplishments. While you may not be implementing your project, you should have a goal in mind that relates to solving your problem.

A project goal should reference the project’s benefits in terms of cost, time, and/or quality that address needs or changes, results, impacts, or consequences that the project has on people, programs, or institutions.

Goals and objectives should be measurable, shared, and hypothetically agreed on by all key stakeholders. They are directly linked to the concept of project success factors.

What variables need to be considered and would you have control over them? For example, if you were to implement a department wide system change, would budget be an issue and how would you address that variable?

If you were to implement your study, how would you gather data? Would the focus be qualitative or quantitative?

What will your research provide to the community or to social change?
