This week’s reflection is based on Chapters 12 and 13, which note the specifics of ethics in scientific research. Nursing research is held to the same ethical standards as all other research involving human participants (Tappen, 2016). Nurses and health professionals need to understand and apply ethical principles to their own research, as well as to the reading and review of research. An important document I learned about was the Declaration of Helsinki, which in 1964 formed as a statement about ethical principles, initially applied to medical research, but which now guides all types of research.

Of the three core principles, the most important is ‘respect of persons’ where the participants’ welfare takes precedence over interests of the researchers, society or science. Safeguards to participants are paramount and include strategies to mitigate potential harm related to emotional well-being, impact on employment, financial or social status and more.

This week’s chapter readings consisted of research ethics and participant recruitment. Both of these two topics are highly important and crucial in order to conduct any kind of research. This is especially evident and can be attributed to two words regarding chapter 12. The core of chapter 12 consists of ethics and trust. It is imperative that ethics must be upheld in order to establish trust by the participants. For example, it has been highly unethical what some researchers have done in the past. This includes evil experimentation by way of unknowing participants of what the ramifications of their participation involved. Such experiments such as the participants of the Tuskegee Airmen. The researchers purposefully and maliciously omitted the curative treatment of penicillin in order to syphilis to evolve in the body (Brouse, 2006). This led to the premature mortality of many of these men. In this experiment many of the guidelines were not followed that include 1. Respect for person, 2. Beneficence, and 3. Justice. These key guidelines were omitted without any due regard to the participants. There should have been some sort of informed consent given to these men without any sort of omission of any kind of treatment (Tappen, 2016).

Chapter 13 consists of participant recruitment. Recruitment consists of a series of ethical criteria that must be met in order to allow the participants to ethically say yes. This includes specificity such as who meets inclusion and exclusion criteria. This includes such things such accessibility, barriers, trust and persuasion. Information must be given through dissemination of information such as electronically in the effort to gather willing participants. Consent must be obtained in order to consider the participants as willing and autonomous. The participants must also meet the requirements; this is done to not allow information to misinterpreted. Results and finding must be given to the participants. Other things that should be considered are things such as barriers. This includes beliefs or attitudes towards the experiment by the participants. Other things include such logistics such as transportation and incentives such as pay. However, I believe that the biggest take away that one must take is the fact that all research must be ethical in order to promote trust (Tappen, 2016).

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

• Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
• Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
• One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
• I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

Weekly Participation

• Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
• In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
• Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
• Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

APA Format and Writing Quality

• Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
• Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
• I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

Use of Direct Quotes

• I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
• As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
• It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

LopesWrite Policy

• For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
• Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
• Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
• Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Late Policy

• The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
• Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
• If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
• I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
• As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

Communication

• Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: 
  • Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
  • Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
