RESEARCH METHODOLOGY ASSIGNMENT 2
The vulnerable group in the article and their vulnerability.
People with dementia are the vulnerable group in this case. They are often exempted
from decision-making processes affecting them. In acquiring information regarding dementia
condition, a person who has suffered from the disease is mostly preferred. Having sustained the
dementia condition, I could provide reliable information as I have experienced the situations
(Belle, Mentzelopoulos, Aufderheide, May, & Nichol, 2015).
Description of ethical issues discussed in the reviewed article.
Informed consent: This is one of the necessities in conducting ethical researches which
involve human participants. After the second world war, humans were subjected to experiments
unethically. With the introduction of informed consent, researchers began respecting the
autonomy of vulnerable people. As a weak person, I would be happy and willing to participate in
research where I am given a chance to make my own decision. (Lewis, 2015).
Authorized representatives: The representative plays a significant role in providing free
consent on behalf of those people who are not in their right state of mind. I am suffering
dementia, for instance, I know that in the late stages of this condition I may be unable to make a
proper decision on whether participation in research or not. Before that time, therefore, I should
be informed about the use of legal representation to help in deciding the late stages of dementia.
Assent: Assent refers to how willing am I as a subject, to participation in given research.
As a dementia patient, if I once was willing to cooperate, I could still be involved in research,
even when in the late stages of dementia conditions. When it comes to Healthcare services,
organizations involved are supposed to get the permission to treat me from my legal
representative (Lewis, 2015).
