Die Akzeptanz unter Bewohnern und Bewohnerinnen gewinnt bei hoch komplexen, technisch anspruchsvollen energetischen Sanierungen als „Innovationsmotor“ zunehmend an Relevanz. Der Beitrag basiert auf zwei Fallstudien zur partizipativen Nutzereinbindung bei energetischen Sanierungen im genossenschaftlichen Wohnbau historischer Stadtquartiere in Regensburg. Neben einer sozialverträglichen Sanierung wurde jeweils ein hohes Maß an Energieeffizienz bei den technischen Lösungen ange-strebt. Haushaltsbefragungen und qualitative Interviews zeigen die hohe Akzeptanz von Sanierungsmaßnahmen, sofern die Senkung der Energiekosten die erhöhte Miete kompensiert. Abschließend werden Akzeptanzfaktoren wie Partizipation, Vertrauen, Sozialverträglichkeit und Autarkie erörtert.
Cybersecurity in Health Care
(2020)
Ethical questions have always been crucial in health care; the rapid dissemination of ICT makes some of those questions even more pressing and also raises new ones. One of these new questions is cybersecurity in relation to ethics in health care. In order to more closely examine this issue, this chapter introduces Beauchamp and Childress’ four principles of biomedical ethics as well as additional ethical values and technical aims of relevance for health care. Based on this, two case studies—implantable medical devices and electronic Health Card—are presented, which illustrate potential conflicts between ethical values and technical aims as well as between ethical values themselves. It becomes apparent that these conflicts cannot be eliminated in general but must be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis. An ethical debate on cybersecurity regarding the design and implementation of new (digital) technologies in health care is essential.
This article highlights methodological and ethical challenges in research with adults of older and oldest age, by presenting field experiences of the current research project “Motion Monitoring of Geriatric Trauma Patients - Explorative Study on the Rehabilitation Process after Hip Fracture Using Sensor-based Data”. Depiction of the survey situation, with regard to the subjects in particular, can serve as practical examples for designing future research projects.
The group of older adults is a rather large and growing group for which research is required, especially concerning their heterogeneity, their individual autonomy and quality of life. It is assumed, that research designs of studies on the target group must be specifically adjusted, in particular when considering the attribution of vulnerability of the group members. At the same time, it is not clear yet what exact specifics of the subjects and target group must be considered in research designs, as surprisingly little is known about the target group as subjects and corresponding theories have been insufficiently tested.
The exploratory long-term design of the research project presented in the second section of this chapter has a positive evaluation of an ethics committee. Still ethical challenges occurred in the field situation, that are illustrated in the third section of this chapter, by providing information on the patients, their role as research subjects, how they were recruited, how an informed consensus was reached, and in some cases how participation was rejected or abandoned. After a summary, the end of the paper is marked by recommendations on how to design future research projects.
Cumulatively it must always be expected that interaction between researchers and research subjects of this target group can become very intensive, what requires to follow clearly defined procedures and at the same time to be prepared to act flexibly.
