Psychology And Its Animal Subjects, Kenneth J. Shapiro
Kenneth J. Shapiro, PhD
By way of introducing Psychologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PsyETA) to readers of the journal, I have been asked to make some comments about the organization and, from a personal point of view, to suggest some of my own positions and views.
Parents’ Beliefs And Knowledge About The Management Of Acute Otitis Media: A Qualitative Study, Malene Hansen, Janine Howlett, Chris Del Mar, Tammy Hoffmann
Parents’ Beliefs And Knowledge About The Management Of Acute Otitis Media: A Qualitative Study, Malene Hansen, Janine Howlett, Chris Del Mar, Tammy Hoffmann
Christopher Del Mar
Acute otitis media is a common reason for antibiotic prescribing, despite strong evidence that antibiotics provide minimal benefit. Studies have demonstrated that patients’ (or parents’) expectations of antibiotics often influence general practitioners’ (GPs) decision to prescribe antibiotics, but few have explored parents’ expectations of the management of infections in children, or which factors influence the development of these expectations. This study aimed to explore parents’ knowledge and beliefs about the management of acute otitis media in children.

Increasing Value And Reducing Waste In Biomedical Research Regulations And Management, Rustam Salman, Elaine Beller, Jonathan Kagan, Elina Hemminki, Robert Phillips, Julian Savulescu, Malcolm Macleod, Janet Wisely, Iain Chalmers
Increasing Value And Reducing Waste In Biomedical Research Regulations And Management, Rustam Salman, Elaine Beller, Jonathan Kagan, Elina Hemminki, Robert Phillips, Julian Savulescu, Malcolm Macleod, Janet Wisely, Iain Chalmers
Elaine Beller
After identifi cation of an important research question and selection of an appropriate study design, waste can arise from the regulation, governance, and management of biomedical research. Obtaining regulatory and governance approval has become increasingly burdensome and disproportionate to the conceivable risks to research participants. Regulation and governance involve interventions that are assumed to be justifi ed in the interests of patients and the public, but they can actually compromise these interests. Ineffi cient management of the procedural conduct of research is wasteful, especially if it results in poor recruitment and retention of participants in well designed studies addressing important …
Clinical Research Priorities In Emergency Medicine, Gerben Keijzers, Ogilvie Thom, David Taylor, Jonathan Knott
Clinical Research Priorities In Emergency Medicine, Gerben Keijzers, Ogilvie Thom, David Taylor, Jonathan Knott
Gerben Keijzers
To determine the clinical research priorities of Fellows of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine (ACEM) in order to inform the strategic research agenda specific to multicentre clinical research. Methods: An anonymous survey of all ACEM Fellows (FACEMs) listed on the ACEM researcher database was conducted between January and March 2013. Results: Of 108 FACEMs invited to participate, 54 (50%) responded. Over half of respondents (61%) had a higher research degree but only a minority (24%) had funded research positions. The top research categories identified as priorities were resuscitation, trauma, cardiology, ED ultrasound, acute behavioural disturbance and geriatrics. The most …

Clinical Research Priorities In Emergency Medicine. Results Of A Consensus Meeting And Development Of A Weighting Method For Assessment Of Clinical Research Policies, Ogilvie Thom, Gerben Keijzers, Suzanne Davies, David Taylor, Jonathan Knott, Paul Middleton
Gerben Keijzers
Introduction: There is limited evidence regarding clinical research priorities in emergency medicine outside of some special interest groups. The ACEM Clinical Trials Group undertook a consensus meeting with the aim of developing a reproducible weighting matrix for assessing clinical research priorities. Methods: A session at the ACEM annual scientific meeting was dedicated to this meeting. Results from a survey of the ACEM researcher database were presented, along with a proposed weighting matrix. After discussion and adjustment, consensus was achieved on the matrix. Results: It was agreed that the following criteria be used in the matrix: research category and sub-category priority …
Interests And Harms In Primate Research, Nathan Nobis
Interests And Harms In Primate Research, Nathan Nobis
Nathan M. Nobis, PhD
The article discusses the moral issues on primate research in reference to the moral defenses by Sughrue and colleagues. It states that Sughrue and colleagues have claimed to provide equal examination of the primate stroke research's ethics. It mentions that the promise to straighten out a number of ethical arguments in favor and against primate research was not fulfilled. Several moral arguments are presented in response to Sughrue and colleagues' moral defense for animal experimentation.
Perioperative Nurses’ Attitudes Toward The Electronic Health Record, Laura Yontz, Jennifer Zinn, Edward Schumacher
Perioperative Nurses’ Attitudes Toward The Electronic Health Record, Laura Yontz, Jennifer Zinn, Edward Schumacher
Edward J Schumacher
Background: The adoption of an electronic health record (EHR) is mandated under current health care legislation reform. The EHR provides data that are patient centered and improves patient safety. There are limited data; however, regarding the attitudes of perioperative nurses toward the use of the EHR. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to identify perioperative nurses’ attitudes toward the use of the EHR. Design: Quantitative descriptive survey was used to determine attitudes toward the electronic health record. Methods: Perioperative nurses in a southeastern health system completed an online survey to determine their attitudes toward the EHR in providing patient …
Addressing Distress And Pain In Animal Research: The Veterinary, Research, Societal, Regulatory And Ethical Contexts For Moving Forward, Kathleen Conlee, Martin Stephens, Andrew N. Rowan
Addressing Distress And Pain In Animal Research: The Veterinary, Research, Societal, Regulatory And Ethical Contexts For Moving Forward, Kathleen Conlee, Martin Stephens, Andrew N. Rowan
Andrew N. Rowan, DPhil
While most people recognize that biomedical scientists are searching for knowledge that will improve the health of humans and animals, the image of someone deliberately causing harm to an animal in order to produce data that may lead to some future benefit has always prompted an uncomfortable reaction outside the laboratory. However, proponents of animal research have usually justified the practice by reference to greater benefits (new knowledge and medical treatments) over lesser costs (in animal suffering and death). Given that one of the costs of animal research is the suffering experienced by the animals, the goal of eliminating distress …
The Minimization Of Research Animal Distress And Pain: Conclusions And Recommendations, Kathleen Conlee, Martin Stephens, Andrew N. Rowan
The Minimization Of Research Animal Distress And Pain: Conclusions And Recommendations, Kathleen Conlee, Martin Stephens, Andrew N. Rowan
Andrew N. Rowan, DPhil
While the attention given to preventing, assessing, and alleviating pain in research animals has increased noticeably in recent decades, much remains to be done both in terms of implementing best practices and conducting studies to answer outstanding questions. In contrast, the attention to distress (particularly non-pain induced distress) has shown no comparable increase. There are many reasons for this discrepancy, including the conceptual untidiness of the distress concept, the paucity of pharmacological treatments for distress, and perceived lack of regulatory emphasis on distress. These are challenges that need to be addressed and overcome. This book is intended to help meet …

Faculty members mindful of the ticking tenure and promotion clock seek ways to balance the competing and sometimes overwhelming demands of research, teaching, and service. One way to balance these demands is to find opportunities for collaboration with colleagues, especially in research. There are several compelling reasons to pursue joint research projects with colleagues; however, collaboration can be challenging. This article discusses the benefits and challenges of working on collaborative research projects with colleagues from the same discipline as well as across disciplines.
Searching For Randomized Controlled Trials And Systematic Reviews On Exercise: A Descriptive Study, Antonio Jose Grande, Tammy Hoffmann, Paul Glasziou
Searching For Randomized Controlled Trials And Systematic Reviews On Exercise: A Descriptive Study, Antonio Jose Grande, Tammy Hoffmann, Paul Glasziou
Paul Glasziou
The current paradigm of science is to accumulate as much research data as possible, with less thought given to navigation or synthesis of the resulting mass, which hampers locating and using the research. The aim here was to describe the number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews (SRs) focusing on exercise, and their journal sources, that have been indexed in PubMed over time. DESIGN AND SETTING: Descriptive study conducted at Bond University, Australia. METHOD: To find RCTs, a search was conducted in PubMed Clinical Queries, using the category “Therapy” and the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) term “Exercise”. To …
