Ethical standards for research with human participants are increasingly important. With respect to nursing research these standards are symbolic of the interplay between the abstract theoretical aspects of bioethical standards and the particulars of nursing practice. In this column, this interplay is symbolized as a reflective equilibrium. These standards are argued to symbolize not only the dialectic relationship between the abstract and the particular in ethics, but also the general lack of a nursing specific articulation of ethical standards. Further understanding of the distinctiveness of nurses' moral judgments and knowledge is presented as necessary in strengthening the reflective equilibrium.
涉及人类受试者的研究伦理标准日益重要。对于护理研究而言,这些标准象征着生物伦理标准的抽象理论层面与护理实践细节之间的相互作用。在本专栏中,这种相互作用被象征为一种反思平衡。这些标准不仅被认为象征着伦理中抽象与具体之间的辩证关系,也象征着护理领域对伦理标准缺乏具体明确阐述的普遍情况。进一步理解护士道德判断和知识的独特性对于加强反思平衡而言是必要的。
