The use of social media in a palliative care research centre [Conference Abstract]
BMJ(2015)
摘要
Introduction Online communities are full of discussions
about illness, death and dying and these communications
are increasingly repositioned within research environments
as sources of publically available data. As a palliative
care research centre, we have been keen to embrace
social media within our research work, however, with
no definitive set of ethical or practical guidelines we
have been unsure of how best to proceed. The centre
thus initiated two consensus days to construct a workable,
ethical framework for future research in the field.
Aim(s) and method(s) Researchers within the centre,
and two external experts in online research, met to
focus on constructing a set of ethical guidelines. Issues
of confidentiality, anonymity and informed consent
were all discussed.
Results A framework for social media research was
constructed, the guiding principles include:
▸ Recruitment of participants should be transparent with
adequate opportunity for participants to ask questions.
▸ Information sheets should be provided and be clear about
confidentiality issues that are specific to online research.
▸ Consent should always be taken from participants for
the use of their online communications as research data
