Gay Rights, Gay, Lesbian, And Society - 1202 Words

Over the past decades, being gay was something no one talked about. It was a subject that was very taboo and society didn’t accept. People saw it as a stage one goes through and something unnatural. Thanks to the media, more and more celebrities have come out of the closet over the years. Soon people became accepting of the gay community and their life style. Being openly gay, lesbian, transgender, or bisexual in the workforce can lead to discrimination. Gay mirages are also frowned upon by society. Unfortunately, there aren’t many laws that protect gay rights. Everyday in America, gay people are being fired, denied a job, refused promotion, or some other form of discrimination. It’s not because they don t qualify for the job it’s because they are gay. 21/50 states in the US have rights set to protect them from facing this discrimination (Eisenberg, Rebecca). 18 out of those 21 states it is illegal to fire transgenders (Eidelson, Josh). So far there are ab out 28 million workers unemployed because of their sexuality (Bendery, 2014). Pros: 1. Tom Harkin, former Democrat U.S Senate, has a mission to pass a Paycheck Fairness Act, Fair Pay Act, and an Equal Pay Act. Harkin had expressed his views on the issue on last years Equal Pay Day. He felt that there is a big pay gap between men and women. Women are paid less then men simply because of their gender.

Ethical Principle of Justice How It Relates to Nursing Research Free Essays

Nursing research is continual and it is consistently improving the healthcare field. When understanding research and evidence-based practice, ethics is one of the first things to consider for proper results. Evidence-based practice will not be demonstrated unless ethical research is supported. We will write a custom essay sample on Ethical Principle of Justice: How It Relates to Nursing Research or any similar topic only for you Order Now Ethics is always a topic of concern and a standard to be maintained when participating in research, especially evidence based practice in the nursing field. Not all research studies or trials are ethical, and many haven’t been ethical in the past. For example, The Stanford Prison Experiment, The Tuskegee Study, and The Monster Study are just a few examples of well-known unethical research trials. Today, the chances seem promising when it comes to establishing ethical clinical research and advocating for subjects. The reason ethics is considered in research is for accurate outcome results and beneficence of subjects. When thinking about ethical principles that should be upheld within nursing research, a few prominent principles come to mind. Beneficence is the understanding to promote or advocate for the betterment and positive well-being of the subject/patient. Respect is a very important ethical principle because subjects have a right to their own decisions, options, and existence in a trial. Justice is the ethical principle being discussed in this paper, and seems to be a common necessity for patient protection. Justice, in reference to nursing research and its importance, will be explained. According to Shakà © Ketefian, the author of the article Ethical considerations in research. Focus on vulnerable groups, Justice has several meanings; there is the meaning of retribution. Another meaning is justice as fairness.† (Kettefian, 2015). The Introduction to Nursing Research textbook written by Carol Boswell ; Sharon Cannon refers the definition of justice as â€Å"fairness and equality to another. It encompasses a general guideline of â€Å"what is due or owed to persons† and it â€Å"implies the rights of fair treatment and privacy, including anonymity and confidentiality†Ã¢â‚¬  (Burkhart ; Nathaniel, 2014, p. 528)(Boswell ; Cannon, 2017, p.179). When justice comes to mind, fairness is the initial definition. When considering research, fairness isn’t always present. There are different control groups, or categories of subjects, and different variables of a study. Sometimes one category of a study is deprived of what’s owed to them, in other words, a lack of justice. The reason justice is crucial in research is that of equal opportunity, fair treatment, and successful unbiased participation. Without justice before, during, and after the study, there is not a chance for accurate results/evidence. Justice also includes the discussion of all resources and information, relating to that particular patient, about their situation. Occasionally, prognoses will be shared with the family first as opposed to the patient first. The patient has a right to know all about their diagnosis, prognosis, and current options. In the article written by Sahreen Malik Bhanji, which is about Health Care Ethics, he says â€Å"It is believed that and especially in healthcare industry that all individuals have equal rights in terms of seeking health care and to participate in their plan of care† (Bhanji, 2013, p. 2). It is due to them, especially during a study. The subject should be informed of all possible treatment options that are available during the timing of their study according to their current state. If not informed, this would fall under unethical and injustice due to the insufficient amount of resources and information offered. Justice is important to research mainly because of the right to be informed and the fairness to be fully included/advocated for. The University of Washington School of Medicine explains ways to ensure justice is not compromised in a study, this would include avoiding the selection of participants that might be unfairly coerced into participating, such as prisoners and institutionalized children (Adams, 2013). This will automatically determine that there isn’t an assumed subject of injustice. Another step in designing a research study that includes proper justice consists of consistent privacy and the right to confidentiality. Sharing of personal or specific information would include injustice. Each patient, no matter the study, should be free of judgment, and offered privacy as well as trusted confidentiality. When creating a study, fairness should always be considered, no matter the variables. To make sure this is upheld, the researchers have to be unbiased and informed of patient rights included in the subjects’ contracts. In a research study, justice includes promotion of the patient on an equality level. One subject isn’t favored or discriminated, all are equally valued. This guideline can be a written signed measure when designing the research study standards that will continually be abided by. That would be a step to instill justice. These two ways of design would be implemented before the study actually takes place. During a study, justice requirements would include offering all information (new even poor prognosis), treating each subject with complete fairness, and demonstrating total unbiased opinion with zero judgment. Both the nurse in the nursing research study and the subject will be treated with justice by offering reward or treatment options, if applicable. The main ethical concern is effective communication in regard to patient rights, justice falls under this idea. The greatest take-away about the ethical principle of justice within a research study is that the patient is fully informed, treated with total fairness no judgment, and offered equality in confidentiality. To conclude, justice is an ethical principle that needs to be upheld in every nursing research study. Majority of people strive to live by justice every day. Being fair to one another is a part of expected moral human interaction. It means fairness for each patient or subject. In a study, without fairness and equality, results are inconclusive and inaccurate because it’s considered unethical. Justice in the nursing world means that an individual is given what they are due or obligated to. Whether that is the best care possible, or the highest standard of treatment/observation in a research study. There are measures that can should be taken to focus on maintaining justice in a research study. According to Bhanji, justice includes â€Å"considering the best possible outcome in favor of the direct recipient of care (patient)† (Bhanji, 2013, p. 2). Therefore, justice is important to the field of nursing research because it includes patient advocacy, entitlement to proper communication involving the health care team patient, and it fulfills patient rights for the best care possible.

Essentials of Epidemiology in Public Health

Question: Discuss about the Essentials of Epidemiology in Public Health? Answer: Solution 1 The exposures of interest considered in this study are total fat intake, Saturated fat intake, monounsaturated fat intake, polyunsaturated fat intake and trans-fat intake (Oh, 2005). Inorder to ascertain dietary information, a questionnaire was used. They were updated in 1986, 1990, 1994 and 1998. A rational determination of total fat and specific types of fat was made in this study (Nelson, 2009). The study results are found to be consistent with other studies. The results of the study clearly give the information about the effect of dietary intake on CHD risk (Nelson, 2009). Blood lipid levels are not measured in the study and this is another limitation of the study (Oh, 2005). Solution 2 Myocardial infarction (nonfatal) or Coronary heart disease (fatal) was the outcome measured. In the case of nonfatal MI, the medical records were collected for reporting women. Deaths from fatal CHD were recognized by the US postal system or from the National Death Index (Oh, 2005). The results of the study are evidenced to be consistent with several other studies (Oh, 2005). Change in diet was one of the factors responsible for evidence of decline in CHD incidence (Oh, 2005). Solution 3 The source population of the study is 30-55 aged female nurses. The target population does not differ from the source population (Oh, 2005). The results are analyzed evidently in the population by the age of 65 years or younger and with age above 65 (Oh, 2005) In, the elderly population, the study results were influenced by factors like an increase in intensity of chronic diseases or weakened health status or change in metabolism with aging (Oh, 2005). Solution 4 In 1976 the study was started with 1,21,700 female nurses whose age is 3055 years. The participants who returned the 1980 questionnaire were included in the study and participants with cardiovascular disease, cancer, improbable intake of energy, diabetes, cancer, hypercholesterolemia was excluded from the study. So after exclusions, 78,778 women were studied (Oh, 2005). Solution 5 The risk measures calculated in the study are age, smoking, BMI, alcohol intake, history of menopausal state, hormone use, hypertension, MI, use of aspirin, Vitamin E, multivitamin, physical activity and intake of fat; fatty acids; fruits, vegetables and fiber(Taylor Zahradka, 2013). Solution 6 The incidence of various diseases may change the diet of women and hence are excluded from the study. But Excluding such women didnot affect the study results (Oh, 2005). Solution 7 The overall motor vehicle-related mortality risk is 1.8%. Solution 8 (100/2000)*100 = 5% (80/8000)*100 = 1% (100/10,000) * 100 = 1 % Solution 9 (45/300)*100 = 15% (135 /7000)*100 = 1.9% (45/10000) *100 = 0.45% Solution 10 The cumulative incidence ratio of death by driving speed is 1%, and the cumulative incidence ratio of death by DWI status is 0.45 %. The values indicate that death by speed is very high in comparison to death by DWI status. Solution 11 1900-100 = 1800 255-45 = 210 Solution 12 A direct relationship was observed between trans-fat and CHD, whereas inverse relation was observed between CHD and polyunsaturated fat. In women aged less than 65 the results were evidenced to be more prominent and relevant. Among women with a higher BMI, the risk of CHD was increased with intake of Polyunsaturated fat intake. Solution 13 (180/10000) * 100 = 1.8 % (180/10000)*100 = 1.8% Solution 14 Mortality risk = (180/10000) * 100= 1.8%. Solution 15 {(5-1)/5 } * 100 = 80 % {(15-1.9)/15} * 100 = 87.33 % Solution 16 Mortality risk = (180/10000) * 100= 1.8%. Solution 18 Inorder to eradicate motor related deaths, the funding should be allocated equally to two risk factors. The speed limit should be strictly monitored and drive while intoxicated should be severely penalized. References Ndrepepa, G. (2015). BMI and coronary heart disease: no difference according to sex.
