Selected AbstractsInstitutional Conflicts Of Interest: Protecting Human Subjects, Scientific Integrity, And Institutional AccountabilityTHE JOURNAL OF LAW, MEDICINE & ETHICS, Issue 4 2004Gordon Du ValArticle first published online: 13 JUL 200 First page of article [source] The challenge for nursing research: Scientific integrityINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF NURSING PRACTICE, Issue 4 2001Shaké Ketefian [source] A Review of Psychometric Properties of Feeding Assessment Tools Used in NeonatesJOURNAL OF OBSTETRIC, GYNECOLOGIC & NEONATAL NURSING, Issue 3 2008Tsu-Hsin Howe ABSTRACT Objective:, To appraise the psychometric properties of clinical feeding assessment tools used in a neonatal population. Data sources:, PubMed, OvidMedline, CINHAL, and PsycINFO databases from 1980 to 2007. Reference lists of all identified articles were also reviewed. Study selection:, Research reports written in English that utilized or validated clinical feeding assessment tools. Data extraction:, In total, 941 articles were reviewed. Seven neonatal clinical feeding assessment tools were identified and categorized into three groups: tools used for assessing either bottle-feeding or breastfeeding behaviors, tools used only for assessing bottle-feeding behaviors, and tools used only for assessing breastfeeding behaviors. Results:, The psychometric properties of none of the seven assessment tools identified were satisfactory, and the limited representativeness of the samples of the psychometric research was noted in all assessment tools identified. The Neonatal Oral-Motor Assessment Scale appeared to have been examined more thoroughly and showed more consistent results in psychometric properties than the others, despite its own limitations. Conclusions:, A psychometrically sound neonate feeding assessment tool has not yet been empirically validated. Clinicians who use these tools for clinical and research purposes should take into account this lack of evidence of psychometric soundness and interpret results of assessment with precautions. Well-designed research is needed to study the scientific integrity of these instruments for program evaluations in neonatal care. [source] Paranoid investments in nursing: a schizoanalysis of the evidence-based discourseNURSING PHILOSOPHY, Issue 2 2007Dave Holmes rn phd Abstract, There are those who would argue that, recently, the profession of nursing has made a radical shift, while others believe that a schism has been created among both scholars and clinicians as a result of the emerging dominance of the evidence-based nursing movement. This paper offers a philosophical critique of this movement using Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's concept of schizoanalysis. As a conclusion, the authors posit that nursing professionals maintain a stance of academic freedom of thought and scientific integrity through the acceptance of multiplicity, diversity, and polyvocality, and by challenging with politically charged concepts the totalizing perspectives that often spread through the profession/discipline of nursing. [source] Stem Cell Research as Innovation: Expanding the Ethical and Policy ConversationTHE JOURNAL OF LAW, MEDICINE & ETHICS, Issue 2 2010Rebecca Dresser Research using human embryonic stem cells raises an array of complex ethical issues, including, but by no means limited to, the moral status of developing human life. Unfortunately much of the public discussion fails to take into account this complexity. Advocacy for liberal and conservative positions on human embryonic stem cell research can be simplistic and misleading. Ethical concepts such as truth-telling, scientific integrity, and social justice should be part of the debate over federal support for human embryonic stem cell research. Moreover, the debate should be conducted in accord with principles of deliberative democracy, including respect for people holding competing views. [source] Preparing the senior or graduating student for graduate researchBIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY EDUCATION, Issue 4 2005Bor Luen Tang Abstract Senior undergraduates in the honors or graduation year with an intention to further their career in science would soon face the real world of scientific research as a junior scientist. It is important to acquaint these students with and adequately prepare them for the key aspects of a scientist's professional life. These include technical capacities indispensable for continuous and intense appraisal of data and knowledge as well as awareness that would ensure proper professional conduct within the laboratory. We have designed and conducted a module called "Scientific Critique" in the fourth year for Biochemistry majors. The module emphasizes scientific literature review and critique. It also incorporates techniques in preparing research grant proposals and an exercise in peer review of grant proposals as well as lectures and presentations on scientific integrity and research ethics. Positive response and feedback from students are indicative of an appreciation for the module contents, and we believe it of value to include such contents in any senior undergraduate life sciences curriculum.
