ABSTRACT
AbstractA sound knowledge of the nature of qualitative research, along with an appreciation of some special ethical considerations, is needed for rigorous reviews to be conducted. The overall character of qualitative research is described with an emphasis on the tendency of qualitative researchers to explore sensitive topics using theoretically informed methods. A number of specific features of qualitative that require additional ethical attention and awareness are also examined including the following 1) participants are frequently quite vulnerable and require protection because the data collection methods, such as in-depth interviews, can delve into personally and politically charged matters; 2) naturalistic observation can raise concerns regarding privacy and consent; 3) the potential for the identifiability of the results of this research may require extra efforts to maintain confidentiality. Ultimately, Reseach Ethics Committee members must be knowledgeable about qualitative approaches to be able to assess the potential harms and benefits in a protocol carefully. Without this knowledge gaining ethics approval can be overly difficult for researchers and the best practices for protecting human participants can be overlooked.
RESUMO
ResumoO caráter geral da pesquisa qualitativa é descrito com ênfase na tendência de pesquisadores qualitativos para explorar temas sensíveis, utilizando métodos teoricamente informados. Algumas características específicas de pesquisa qualitativa que requerem consciência e atenção ética adicional também são examinadas, incluindo as seguintes 1) frequentemente os participantes são bastante vulneráveis e necessitam de proteção porque os métodos de coleta de dados, tais como entrevistas em profundidade, podem levar a uma profunda análise de questões repletas de aspectos pessoais e políticos; 2) a observação naturalística pode levantar questões específicas em matéria de privacidade e consentimento; 3) o potencial de que os resultados da pesquisa possibilitem a identificação dos participantes exige esforços adicionais para proteger a privacidade deles. Em última análise, os membros dos Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa (CEP) devem conhecer as abordagens qualitativas para avaliar cuidadosamente os potenciais danos e benefícios em um protocolo. Sem esse conhecimento, a aprovação ética pode ser excessivamente difícil para os pesquisadores e as melhores práticas para proteger os participantes podem ser negligenciadas.
