Introduction

There is a paucity of the impact of multi-sensory rooms in forensic mental health facilities. Multi-sensory rooms have recently been introduced at the High Secure Inpatient Service at the Park Centre for Mental Health. The proposed study aims to investigate the research question “What are the consumer and health practitioner perceptions of the impact of using multisensory rooms as an alternative for seclusion in a high secure forensic inpatient mental health ward?”. This essay aims to examine the historical context of the ethical principles relating to the research proposed study, the ethical procedures for conducting the research and the relevant ethical issues that apply to the proposed study. The study will involve one-on-one …show more content…

Nuclear weapons testing sanctioned by the Australian government in the 1950’s resulted in radiation exposure related morbidity and mortality in indigenous communities (Walton, 2013). Doses of barbiturates and tranquilizers many times higher than the therapeutic limits were administered to psychiatric patients under the care of psychiatrist Harry Bailey in the 1960’s and 1970’s as part of his “deep sleep therapy”, which resulted in the death of twenty six patients at the Chelmsford Private Hospital (Hymans, 2000).

The National Statement on Ethical Research

The National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) establishes guidelines for researchers to conduct ethical research in Australia. According to the statement, all ethical research must display “respect for human beings, research merit and integrity, justice and beneficence” (NHMRC, 2007. Page 9.). The capacity of the proposed study to conform the statement’s guidelines would be assessed by the relevant Human Research Ethics Committee (West Moreton Human Research Ethics Committee) before any human research commences.

The interviews will use a range of questions as prompts to enable participants to maintain their focus on their perceptions of the value and effectiveness of sensory rooms, based upon their actual experiences. Each interview will last for at least 30 minutes. A ‘warming up’ preamble/discussion will be used at the start of the interview to reduce the risk of ‘stress of entry’ (Holloway & Fulbrook, 2001) where emphasis will be given to the importance of the interviewer wanting to hear the consumer’s view, in their own words, based upon their own experiences. A range of open-ended questions will be used to focus the interview (See appendix 3/4).

Participant Populations

Since the ratification of the Declaration of Helsinki, disadvantaged populations have been the subjects of unethical research. Economically and socially disadvantaged groups as well as individuals in unequal power relationships such as the homeless, racial minorities, prisoners and the mentally ill have been historically overrepresented in unethical research (Levine, et al., 2004.).

The target population of forensic mental health consumers is a highly disadvantaged group due to being in an unequal relationship with the medico-legal system and care must be taken to ensure ethical integrity is guaranteed. Members of the research team will not have existing clinical, managerial

The legal guideline aims to remind psychologists about their primary obligations as well as rational “precautions to respect the confidentiality rights of those with whom they work or consult, recognizing that confidentiality may be established by law, institutional rules, or professional or scientific relationships.” Maintaining privacy and confidentiality of the defendant facilitate their openness assisting them to recall and relate “pertinent facts and events, including his motives and actions at the time of the offense, and be able to testify in his behalf and to challenge prosecution witnesses.”

As nursing students from day one we have always been taught to advocate for our patients and to make sure the patients are aware of all their options that they have in regards to their health care. Numerous clinical trials in the health care field have gone wrong and display how ethical principles and morals can be crossed or disregarded. These situations, although negative at the time have helped shaped the nursing field today for the better. We use the negative outcomes of previous cases to shape our practices and aid in rules and regulations to help protect the healthcare workers as well as the patients themselves. One of the major cases that raised questions in regards to ethics and morals in healthcare history is the Tuskegee Syphilis

The absence of informed consent disallowed the partakers to make informed decisions about participation in the research study. The participants continued to be misled from the beginning to the conclusion of the study. Thankfully, specific laws have been enacted to avoid missteps like the ones that occurred in the Tuskeegee Experiment. The National Research Act Public Law 93-348 was signed to address ethical practices in research. From this, a committee was borne that identified the ethical principles that should be included in studies that involve human subjects.

The APA general ethical principles were created to motivate psychologists to always provide the most ethical care to their patients. While they are not standards that represent ethical obligations, they are at the forefront of the ethical component of the psychological field and play a significant role in how psychologists approach their career. While each principle is highly important, the principle E, Respect for People’s Rights and Dignity, is the most influential and important. Therefore, this paper will discuss the components of that principle and why it is more important that the other four.

Ethical issues Regardless of which qualitative method is chosen for the school-approved topic, case study or generic, the overall goal is achieving scientific merit, the ethical quality of the study (Parse, 2016). Scientific merit includes the appropriateness of the research design for the topic and field or discipline, transparency and honesty in reporting of the findings, implications, research design (Parse, 2016).

Medical Research has the potential to advance society and make life better for everyone in it. However, the ends cannot justify the means; the rights of the subjects of research cannot be violated no matter the possible benefit to mankind. Despite this, time and time again, it has been very easy for, at least allegedly well-meaning scientists to violate the rights of their research subjects because they wanted to help society as a whole. Such experiments were not performed in secret by a minority of scientists; they were often done “by respected investigators at leading medical institutions and were published in medical journals (Scandals and Tragedies 3). " It is vital that we understand the circumstances of these experiments and why they happened so

Ethics and Psychology How has the introduction of codes of ethics and conduct changed the way Psychology research is conducted, and how has this contributed to equality, diversity, and inclusion? Psychology, as a scientific field, requires empirical investigation to comprehend the complexities of the mind and behaviour. Empirical research encompasses a diverse range of categories, including experimentation, observation, and case studies. However, to ensure methodological rigour and to adhere to the highest ethical standards, research must satisfy stringent conditions pertaining to diversity, inclusion, and equality. Psychology has made significant advances in ethical research methods over time, beginning with the adoption of the APA's code

However, the qualitative research takes a direct approach, where the researchers arrive at a conclusion through the observation of events as they occur naturally without external interferences (Golafshani, 2003). Ethical and methodological issues may arise, therefore in order to demonstrate the legitimacy of Qualitative research it is important to integrate rigour and trustworthiness.

Slide 1: When you look at this picture of long Beach island, would you notice a problem? Probably not Believe it or not, this beach may be completely underwater by the time we are old enough to have grandchildren. For such a large problem, it is surprising that not a lot of people know about it. Ocean level rising is not being taught in most high schools, so the newer generations are oblivious to the problem. I would like to talk about the enormous problem of ocean level rising and what we can do as a society to end it.
