Beneficence is one of the four principles that form the basis of the Australian National Statement. The aim of this paper is to explore the philosophical development of this principle and to clarify the role that beneficence plays in contemporary discussions about human research ethics. By examining the way that guidance documents, particularly the National Statement, treats beneficence we offer guidance to researchers and human research ethics committee members on the practical application of what can be a conceptually difficult principle.
善行是构成《澳大利亚国家声明》基础的四项原则之一。本文旨在探讨这一原则的哲学发展，并阐明善行在当代关于人类研究伦理的讨论中所起的作用。通过审视指导文件，特别是《国家声明》对善行的处理方式，我们为研究人员和人类研究伦理委员会成员提供了关于如何实际应用这一在概念上可能颇具难度的原则的指导。
