Parkinson’s disease, Freire’s ethics, scientific researchAbstract
Given the interest in academic and scientific circles, ethics in research has been studied for several decades. When carrying out a narrative review to find the ethical assumptions in research on Parkinson's disease, the possibility of integrating Freire's perspective in the act of investigating was also considered. A new stream of research based on Freire's critical pedagogy is to simultaneously reflect on the ontological, ideological, political and cultural identity domains, described throughout his work, and based on ethical-critical awareness.
The ethical requirements of clinical research in Parkinson's disease are: (1) respect for participants; (2) risk/benefit assessment; (3) informed consent; (4) adding value; (5) scientific validity; (6) careful selection of participants; (7) independent access to the study. Scientific evidence is consensual, verifying the inclusion of these people in a broader group of participants in view of their vulnerable condition.
