Learn to be an expert with the training and the knowledge this program will provide”

In this program, students will be introduced to the field of ethics and the bioethical principles on which all clinical and drug research studies are based. Bioethics in Nursing Sciences and the deontological codes that govern nursing activities and care will also be discussed. This program will cover the clinical research and drug ethics committees (CEIC, CEIM), the need for them, their functions and their composition.

Other topics will include scientific integrity, its principles and values, as well as good clinical practices and their corresponding accreditation to be able to carry out clinical research and research with drugs and medical devices. Fraud in research will also be discussed, as well as the audits and inspections to avoid it, the responsibility of the researcher and the promoter with the patient who agrees to collaborate in a clinical trial, and the conflicts of interest that can arise in research, plagiarism and the use of information from the studies will also be discussed.

As important as it is to try to promote studies of the highest possible quality, it is equally important to analyze and assess the quality of the scientific documents that reach the researcher, with the ultimate goal of being able to recognize that relevant unspecialized and with the best degree of scientific evidence, applicable to daily practice or to communicate to the scientific community.

Research or project presentations involve more than simple communication or socialization of a finished work. Quality presentations can become a real instrument for knowledge production, which makes them a determining factor in the research process itself. When elaborating oral or written communication, a series of basic steps must be followed in order to satisfy some of the following conditions: visual appeal, personality, balance, aesthetic quality, clarity in the explanation of ideas, quick understanding of the hierarchy and distribution of parts, synthesis and rigor. From the point of view of citizens' expectations, nursing has to offer a response to the classic needs raised by the population through on demand nursing consultation, thus providing accessible, individualized, humane, effective and efficient care. Thus, all kinds of circumstances must be taken into account when proposing new models of care or improving existing ones, with the aim of providing the care response proposed by the population from a holistic perspective in which their participation is essential. That is why it will be essential to understand nursing models and theories, which will describe the phenomena that make up the practice of general nursing, as well as the elements of its metaparadigm.
