Since 1964, the Declaration of Helsinki has been accepted internationally as the cornerstone for research ethics. As such it has been incorporated into a number of guidance documents for research undertaken on human subjects. In 1999, the American Medical Association put forward a proposal for wide-ranging revision of the document, which would significantly weaken the rights of research subjects and lower the standards for research on human subjects. This article discusses the probable effects of the most significant proposals for change and argues against them. It also urges nurses, especially those involved in research, to become involved in the international consultation currently being undertaken by the World Medical Association.
自1964年以来,《赫尔辛基宣言》已被国际社会公认为研究伦理的基石。因此,它已被纳入多项关于人体研究的指导文件中。1999年,美国医学协会提出了一项对该文件进行全面修订的提议,这将大幅削弱研究对象的权利,并降低人体研究的标准。本文讨论了最重大的变革提议可能产生的影响,并对这些提议提出反对意见。它还敦促护士,尤其是那些参与研究的护士,参与世界医学协会目前正在进行的国际磋商。
