CLASS,

In this discussion, you will focus on a specific study to explore ethics in research and consider the importance of the ethics pledge.

Our interactive discussion addresses the following learning objectives:

· Analyze ethical considerations in relation to DNP problem statements

· Compare and contrast ethical considerations for research vs. quality improvement or any type of DNP project

· Compare and contrast a research study, a QI study, and a DNP project with regard to generalizability and protection of human subjects (IRB review)

Post a response to the following prompts:

· What are the characteristics of the research study (Tzeng & Yin, 2017), the quality improvement study (Khoja & Moosa, 2023), and the DNP project (Bangura, 2024) in terms of generalizability, sampling, and the nature of ethical protections? 

· Compare and contrast ethical considerations in research to ethics requirements for QI and/or for a DNP project.  

We encourage you to read the question carefully to answer all aspects presented.

Characteristics Comparison

In our exploration of the research study by Tzeng and Yin (2017), we discovered a significant exploratory cross-sectional survey design. Their use of secondary data analysis to investigate the relationship between nurses’ perceptions of preventive fall interventions and their frequency of use in acute care settings was a significant step. They identified over twenty effective interventions that could prevent falls and reduce further patient injuries, a finding of great significance in our field.

Khoja and Moosa’s quality improvement project (2023) aimed to see if tailored interventions for patient safety (TIPS) in a medical-surgical orthopedic unit (MSOU) were as effective in reducing fall rates as the current practice. This study, focusing on improving current workflow processes and enhancing efficiency, provides practical insights that can be applied within a specific organization. The results are intended to identify gaps in practice and enhance the current implementation process, improving healthcare quality.

The Bangura (2024) DNP project aimed to see if intentional rounding would decrease fall rates in a Veterans’ long-term care facility. The project investigated current nursing practice and translated the findings into practice to improve patient outcomes related to fall prevention. The goal is to focus on translating evidence into practice.

Ethical Considerations

Traditional research studies like Tzeng and Yin’s require extensive ethical oversight. They must follow formal protocols to ensure participant protection, including informed consent processes, privacy measures, confidentiality guarantees, and the right to withdraw from the study. This study was approved by each of the different health systems’ institutional review boards (IRBs), ensuring the highest ethical standards were met.  

QI projects such as Khoja & Moosa (2023) pose minimal physical, psychological, social, or financial risk to participants; however, the threat to privacy and confidentiality of protected health information remains an important consideration. These projects require different ethical considerations than formal research, but care should be taken to minimize the possibility of patient harm or other moral wrongs and staff burden (Hunt et al., 2021). This study was initiated with the help of the hospital’s Fall Advisory Council.

DNP projects, which commonly incorporate quality improvement methodologies, must consider ethical dimensions even when they may not require formal IRB review. Since many DNP projects are conducted within healthcare organizations and involve patient care processes, they must still adhere to ethical principles of patient protection, confidentiality, and professional conduct.

Conclusion

The three types of studies reviewed differ in their objectives, methods, and ethical requirements. Understanding the specific ethical considerations for each type of study is essential to protect participants and achieve the goals of enhancing healthcare delivery and advancing nursing knowledge.
