Ethical decision-making frameworks assist in identifying the issues at stake a particular setting and thinking through, methodical manner, ethical that require consideration as well values need to be considered promoted. Decisions made about use, sharing, re-use of big data are complex laden with values. This paper sets out an Ethics Framework for Big Data Health Research developed by working group convened Science, Policy-relevant Singapore (SHAPES) Initiative. It presents aim rationale...
Abstract New technologies can help older persons age in place and support their caregivers. However, they need to be accepted by the end-users do so. Technology acceptance models, such as TAM UTAUT extensions, use factors like performance expectancy effort explain acceptance. Furthermore, are based on quantitative methods. Our qualitative study investigates fostering hindering among caregivers for a variety of assistive technologies, including wearables, ambient sensors at home with without...
Medication errors harm hospitalised patients and increase health care costs. Electronic Management Systems (EMMS) have been shown to reduce medication errors. However, nurses do not always use EMMS as intended, largely because implementation of such patient safety strategies requires clinicians change their existing practices, routines behaviour. This study uses the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) identify barriers targeted interventions enhance nurses' appropriate in two Australian...
When infectious disease outbreaks strike, health facilities acquire labels such as "war zones" and "battlefields" healthcare professionals become "heroes" on the "front line." But unlike soldiers, often take these dangerous roles without any prior intention or explicit expectation that their work will place them in grave personal danger. This inevitably raises questions about role-related obligations whether they should be free to choose not endanger themselves. In this article, I argue it...
Abstract Background Clinicians and public health professionals are centrally concerned with mediating risk. However, people often resist the risk‐related information that is communicated to them by experts, or have their own models of risk conflict expert views. Quantitative studies clearly demonstrated importance beliefs various cognitive emotional processes in shaping perception. More recently, a growing body qualitative research has emerged, exploring lay conceptualizations, experiences...
The health care quality improvement movement is a complex enterprise. Implementing clinical initiatives requires attitude and behaviour change on the part of clinicians, but this has proven to be difficult. In an attempt solve kind behavioural challenge, theoretical domains framework (TDF) been developed. TDF consists 14 from psychological organisational theory said influence change. No systematic research conducted into ways in which map framework. We therefore qualitative mapping...
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a rapid growth in research focused on developing vaccines and therapies. this context, need for speed is taken granted, scientific process adapted accommodate this. On surface, attempts up enterprise appear be good thing. It is, however, important consider what, if anything, might lost when biomedical innovation sped up. article we use case of study recently retracted from Lancet illustrate potential risks harms associated with speeding...
Abstract Background Biobanks provide an important foundation for genomic and personalised medicine. In order to enhance their scientific power scope, they are increasingly becoming part of national or international networks. Public trust is essential in fostering public engagement, encouraging donation to, facilitating funding biobanks. Globalisation networking biobanking may challenge this trust. Methods We report the results Australian study examining attitudes globalisation The used...
Non-financial interests, and the conflicts of interest that may result from them, are frequently overlooked in biomedicine. This is partly due to complex varied nature these limited evidence available regarding their prevalence impact on biomedical research clinical practice. We suggest there no meaningful conceptual distinctions, few practical differences, between financial non-financial interest, accordingly, both require careful consideration. Further, a better understanding complexities...
Ideological biases influence medical research and practice should be disclosed managed, say <b>Miriam Wiersma colleagues</b>. But <b>Marc Rodwin</b> argues that many of these interests are widespread inherent to life cannot avoided or eliminated
In 2016, the Office of State Coroner New South Wales released its report into death an Australian woman, Sheila Drysdale, who had died from complications autologous stem cell procedure at a Sydney clinic. this report, we argue that Mrs Drysdale9s was avoidable, and it result pernicious global problem industry exploiting regulatory systems to sell unproven unjustified interventions with cells.
Abstract Health industries attempt to influence the public through news media and their relationships with expert academics opinion leaders. This study reports journalists' perceptions of professional roles responsibilities regarding between industry academia research results. Journalists believe that responsibility for scientific validity rests systems peer review. However, this approach fails account extent industry-academy interactions flaws retention a critical stance industry-academia...
Background Around the world government agencies responsible for selection and reimbursement of prescribed medicines other health technologies are considering how best to bring community preferences into their decision making. In particular, views about distribution or equity funding across population. These official committees often have access available latest evidence on clinical effectiveness, safety cost from large trials population-based studies. All too they do not high quality views....
It is increasingly recognised that evidence generated using “real-world data” (RWD) crucial for assessing the safety and effectiveness of health-related interventions. This, however, raises a number issues, including those related to (1) quality RWD, scientific methods used generate from it, (2) potential gathering RWD be driven by commercial, political, professional or personal self-interest. This article an application framework presented in this issue ABR (Xafis et al. 2019). Please refer...
Many factors influence patients' decisions to participate in clinical trials. For many, the primary motivation is possibility that they might derive some benefit from participation. This particularly true for patients with limited treatment options, such as advanced cancer. While this not surprising, it potentially problematic if fail recognise distinction between research and care (a phenomenon known 'therapeutic misconception'). becoming increasingly trial designs become more complex,...
Clinical innovation by doctors involves the development and use of interventions that have not been formally evaluated according to usual standards evidence-based medicine. While distinction between research has discussed theoretically, little is known about how working in different specialty areas define understand clinical they distinguish it from other related practices. In order address this gap, qualitative interview study explored diverse specialties defined understood innovation....
