a brief report that documents your project (using photographs, drafts,
screenshots, records, etc. as appropriate) and provide an update on your
progress. Make note of any challenges or issues that you have faced up to this
point, and assess how closely you have continued to align with your originally
proposed timeline.

Part I
Informed consent is a significant component in the
medical and research field as it enhances individuals' awareness of risks,
benefits, and alternatives involved in any presented medical procedure or
research study before the provision of consent. Despite several parts of the
world not adequately practicing informed consent, several actions can be taken
to mitigate this ethical issue. One health care providers, researchers, and the
general public should receive education on the various types of interventions
from experts, and healthcare professionals should be able to relay the provided
information to the patients to reduce miscommunication even among the
healthcare team (Shah et al., 2022). Moreover, strict rules and regulations may
be enacted to ensure that obtaining informed consent is properly followed.
Despite acknowledging the ethical issue of
informed consent, if proper actions are not taken
to address the ethical issue of informed consent, this situation will likely be
worse than before. For instance, if incorrect procedures for obtaining informed
consent are not properly followed, individuals may be subjected to
interventions, procedures, or research studies without knowing the potential
risks they may be exposed to (Shah et al., 2022). Moreover, improper obtaining
of informed consent from individuals violates their autonomy in the decision-making
process and puts them at risk of harm or adverse consequences.
On the other hand, individuals must shift their
attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs on informed consent for a change to occur. The
public, healthcare professionals, and researchers must acknowledge every
individual's value and dignity and respect their right to be fully informed and
participate in decision-making on their health and well-being. Healthcare
professionals and researchers must acknowledge effective communication,
transparency, and respect within their expertise to encourage the transition.
Part II: Proposal
a. The ethical issue to be addressed is informed
consent in medical procedures and research.
b. To address the ethical issue of informed
consent in medical procedures and research, educational workshops will be
conducted to raise awareness of the significance of informed consent among
individuals. The educational workshops will cover topics on the legal
requirements, documentation procedures, communication techniques, and the
underlying ethical principles of informed consent.
Another plan is the development of guidelines and
protocols that will govern the obtaining of informed consent from individuals.
Comprehensive guidelines and protocols will be developed by working with a team
of experts in medical ethics and legal professionals. The formulated guidelines
will provide clear instructions on the information to be disclosed, the process
of obtaining consent, and the requirements in the documentation process.
Additionally, through adequate training of the
healthcare professionals, the process of obtaining informed consent will be
well understood. Specialized training sessions will be provided, and the
sessions will mainly focus on effective communication skills, address cultural
and language disparities, and address potential barriers that may be
experienced while obtaining informed consent.
c. Timeline
Month 1: Conducting research and gathering
resources on informed consent practices.
Month 2: Come up with educational workshop
materials.
Month 3: Conduct a series of educational workshops.
Month 4: Develop guidelines and protocols for
obtaining informed consent.
Month 5: Provision of training sessions for
healthcare professionals.
Month 6: Evaluation of the project's impacts
through survey and obtaining participant feedback.
d. Possible challenges or concerns:
i) Change resistance: Some healthcare
professionals and researchers may resist the change in implementing stricter
rules and regulations on informed consent practices.
ii) Funding for the project may be difficult due
to inadequate resources.
iii) Cultural and language barriers may pose a
challenge, especially in educational sessions, and tailoring educational
materials may be necessary to enhance the accessibility of information by
diverse populations.
