After doing some research, I feel that my views on the role that nurses play in the ethics regarding research implementation and conduction has not changes but rather expanded. I feel that with all of the regulations and guidelines put in place to protect patients participating in research as well as the organizations that are conducting the research that nurse are great mediators. Nurse can over see that the research being done to benefit the patient is meeting all of the core ethical principles and quality dimensions, including safety, patient centered care, beneficence, and nonmaleficence, to name a few. This will allow the nurse to not only ensure the safety and adequate care of the patient but also identify quality improvement measures and potential research interventions and outcomes. Having now achieves some of this course outcomes and learned about all of the different regulation put in place regarding research and ethics as a result of some not so ethical research studies such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and the Nuremburg Trials, I think it is very important for nurse to know the historical evolution of research. I think that by being familiar with the historical evolution it will allow nurses to understand why they were unethical and hopefully make them want to protect their patients from experiencing what some of the patients in the past have experienced. I think that this course has not only helped me to see the importance of ethics, especially when it comes to health care, but has prepared me to incorporate these principles into my own career as a nurse going forward.
