Facets are associated with the many sides of a jewel, but a facet can also be the side of any surfaces, such as the small plane surfaces on a column, or the multiple surfaces of any rock. For researchers, ethics also contains many facets. The protection of human subjects is one facet of being an ethical researcher, such as the ethical gathering of data and the reporting of findings. Another facet of ethics is how researchers’
Social and economic inequality is detrimental to the health of any society. This is true when the society is diverse, multicultural, overpopulated and undergoing rapid but unequal economic growths, including immigrations issues such as undocumented immigrants. Anything undocumented cannot be measured but I think there can be estimative factors leading to predictions of the result. Secondly, most of the data could rely mostly on what is documented, such as documented Mexicans/Latinos and their life expectancy or health inequality. Increasing the
One of the preventive benefits that ACA covers is the idea of controlling weight—obesity. Some insurance companies have helped obese patients fight fat for years. They’ve offered weight-loss and wellness programs at businesses, schools and in communities. Some have paid for prescription obesity medications and even covered expensive bariatric surgeries, including gastric bypass. But now, most insurance plans are required to help obese patients try to lose weight under former president Obama’s health care law. Exactly how they do it is up
Introduction: I prefer to write on public-private partnership in healthcare because of its enormous benefits in the healthcare communities. Healthcare partnership allows multiple or diverse groups of healthcare communities to work together, in a common prospect and ideology (Sasenick ,1994). Accordingly, Sasenick(1994) further mentioned that both the state and the private healthcare communities could partners for collaborative effort in handling healthcare delivery. Infact, Hadi et al.(2012) opined that health care delivery system has become more business oriented, because
Theory is very important in analyzing research approach, be it maybe qualitative, quantitative and/or mixed research methods. Without the application of theory, research quality maybe undercut. There is a long tradition within qualitative research of theory being central and of critical importance. Qualitative research theory often equates with the methodologies used, but this is a complex relationship, plagued by lack of consensus among scholars regarding how theory and methodology are related. There is an article Bradbury-Jones, Taylor, & Herber, (2014) that furthers the debates on how theories are used in qualitative research,
My position of Creswell’s alignment of philosophical worldviews (Creswell, 2009) is that of the notion that one cannot be another and another cannot be one. In other words, researchers should rely on a choice of which design is most suitable to their community health assessment by clearly making sense of potential data while identifying which method to employ. For example, if a research design of accounting certain number of HIV infectants in one locality is of quantitative method, then it
The philosophy of science can be compared and exemplified with an innovation toward the science of healthcare. This is particularly important in many science-researched articles that explore the innovation and industry competition. For example, there has been a vital historical debate about and on the role and impact of competition on healthcare innovative activities in its marketplace industry. The attrition of competition can and has been helping in negotiating consumer access to reasonable but quality care. it is important to
Paradigm: A paradigm is simply a belief system (or theory) that guides the way we do things, or more formally establishes a set of practices. This can range from thought patterns to action. “In everyday usage, paradigm refers either to a model or an example to be followed or to an established system or way of doing things. The concept was introduced into the philosophy of science by Thomas Kuhn (1970) in his discussion of the nature of scientific
South Africa still struggles with complexity of apartheid that existed for decades. I will like to particularly comment on the issues and problems of South Africa. Firstly, I have personally been to South Africa in numerous times. A friend of mine use to work with UN in Cape Town. And honestly speaking, Cape Town is an ineffaceable representation of the attractiveness and capacity of post-apartheid South Africa. However, for many black South Africans, this city
There is an important article that furthered the discussion of health inequality and inequity. I think there is an issue of an unexplained idea of health inequality in today’s society. This is because accurate measurement of health inequities is indispensable to track progress or to identify needs for health equity policy interventions, (Yukiko, Hurley, Norheim & Johri, 2015). According to the article by Yukiko, Hurley, Norheim & Johri, 2015, the treatment of unexplained inequality is not only methodological but ethical in question.
