INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH ETHICS WORKSHOPS

  1. Workshop Overview

Currently growing knowledge and technology in the field of health is supported by various number of health research, both interventional and observational, involving one or many research centers (multi-center). Some researchers have also started examining human genetics or genomes or carrying out further research of stored biologic materials. Sensitive ethical issues may arise before, during, or after research. Storage of human biological materials or the use of left-over specimens for future follow-up studies also requires deep ethical considerations, particularly concerning informed consent and confidentiality.

One of the main tasks of health research ethics committee is to ensure that research ethics are conducted in accordance with nationally and internationally accepted standards of health research ethics, ensuring the safety and well-being of humans that are the source of research subjects, considering the privacy and dignity of the study participants. Implementation of these ethical obligations is at the core of health research ethics. To avoid violations, a deep understanding of the ethics of health research is required. Dengvaxia vaccine case can be a lesson learner for us together in re-evaluating the application and use of ethical principles in conducting the study and monitoring a study.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) In line with the guidelines and ethical standards of national health research and development have developed a guide that encourages researchers and members of HREC to obtain both basic and advanced training courses on research ethics guidelines involving human participants. Training in health research for members of the ethics committee is a key element to strengthen the capacity of research institutions. With the support from multi-sector partnerships and national or international networks, capacity building can lead to better ethical review mechanisms. By studying the development of health research ethics in the world from the beginning to the present, we can obtain a comprehensive picture of health research ethics in its effort to protect humans who become the subject of a research.

As a follow up, the National Institute of Health Research and Development (NIHRD / Badan Litbangkes) through the Indonesia Research Partnership on Infectious Diseases (INA-RESPOND) and the United Stated – National Institutes of Health (US-NIH Department of Bioethics) will organize an International Standard of Health Research Ethics Training. This training will be very useful for health research institutions to improve the ability in the study or ethical review of a research protocol. The training will use an international module developed by US-NIH that has been done in several countries to increase multinational capacity Building.

PELATIHAN ETIK PENELITIAN KESEHATAN BERSTANDAR INTERNASIONAL

 1. Pengantar

Saat ini semakin berkembang ilmu dan teknologi bidang kesehatan yang didukung oleh banyaknya penelitian kesehatan, baik intervensional maupun observasional, yang melibatkan banyak senter penelitian (multi-senter) atau pun di suatu senter penelitian saja. Beberapa peneliti juga sudah mulai melakukan pemeriksaan terhadap genetik atau genomik manusia atau melakukan penelitian lanjutan dari bahan biologik tersimpan. Permasalahan etika yang sensitif dapat timbul sebelum, selama atau setelah penelitian. Penyimpanan bahan biologik manusia atau penggunaan left-over specimens untuk penelitian lanjutan di masa datang juga mumbutuhkan pertimbangan etik mendalam, terutama mengenai informed consent dan kerahasiaan.

World Health Organization (WHO) bersama Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS), sejalan dengan pedoman dan standar etika dari penelitian dan pengembangan kesehatan nasional telah membuat panduan yang mendorong agar para peneliti dan anggota KEPK untuk mendapatkan program pelatihan baik dasar ataupun tingkat lanjut tentang pedoman etika penelitian yang melibatkan partisipan manusia. Pelatihan dalam penelitian kesehatan untuk anggota komisi etik merupakan elemen kunci untuk memperkuat kapasitas lembaga penelitian.

Sebagai tindak lanjut, Badan Penelitian dan Pengembangan Kesehatan Nasional (Litbangkes) melalui Indonesia Research Partnership on Infectious Disease (INA-RESPOND) dan United Stated – National Institutes of Health (US-NIH Department of Bioethics) akan menyelenggarakan Pelatihan Etik Penelitian Kesehatan berstandar internasional. Pelatihan ini akan sangat bermanfaat bagi institusi penelitian kesehatan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dalam telaah atau kaji etik suatu protokol penelitian. Pelatihan tersebut akan menggunakan modul internasional yang telah dikembangkan oleh US-NIH yang telah dilakukan dibeberapa negara dalam rangka peningkatan kapasitas multinasional (Multinational Capacity Building).

2. Peserta Pelatihan

Peserta yang dapat mengikuti pelatihan ini adalah :

  1. Perwakilan dari Rumah Sakit yang terlibat dalam jejaring INA-RESPOND
