Today, it is clear that evidence-based practice continues to
result in tremendous patient outcomes. Melynk and Fineout-
Overholt (2015) discuss that as with any scope of the healthcare
field, evidenced-based practices heighten ethical concerns.
Some of the ambitions hidden in the advancement of evidence-
based practice are, at the core, ethical (p. 515). However, it is
critical to consistently ensure the protection of personal rights
in those subjects involved in research studies.
Methods
In order to protect the personal rights of human subjects
involved in research studies, it is vital for providers to be aware
of the federal regulations and policies that are in place. Bierer,
Barnes, and Lynch (2017) explain that the research with human
subjects is funded by federal agencies and is controlled by a set
of regulations and methods that were created in order to protect
study participants while facilitating the advancement of
research (p. 784). These federal regulations assist in protecting
basic human rights, such as beneficence, and help in defending
vulnerable populations from experiencing harm. Furthermore,
the Institutional Review Board must grant approval for the
research study to commence. Bierer, Barnes, and Lynch (2017)
explain that the Institutional Review Board must meticulously
review the ethics and appropriateness of a proposed research
project and the participation of the enlisted human subjects (p.
786).
It is also essential to identify vulnerable human subjects that are
involved in a research project. Clark and Preto (2018) discuss
that vulnerability has emerged and is identified in research as
one’s inability to defend one’s own best interests, awareness to
harm, and various determinants to one’s determinants of health
(p. 308). Providing patients with a thorough education and
pertinent handouts regarding the details of the study is key.
Bierer, Barnes, and Lynch (2017) explain that individuals that
are registered in a research study must be given a
comprehensive understanding of the risks, benefits, and other
pertinent information (p. 784).
Conclusion
It is critical to consistently ensure the protection of personal
rights of those individuals enlisted in a research project. Davis
(2018) emphasizes that in order to protect human participants in
research, organizations must follow policies for the protection
of human research subjects. Regardless of whether research
takes place in medical or private facilities, human subject
protection can only be guaranteed if the Institutional Review
Board closely oversees the research it has approved (p. 92).
