Abstract

BARBER, Nélida Alicia. ¿Dilemas?: metodológicos y éticos en la investigación antropológica en Servicios de salud. Avá [online]. 2009, n.15, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-1694.

In this paper we examine some particularities of anthropological research in hospitality institutions, on the basis of fieldwork carries out in hospitals of the Metropolitan and suburban areas of Buenos Aires. On one side, we focus on the institutional requirements for allowing access to the hospital and, on the other side, on the emotional and ethical commitments of researchers. In what concern to the former, we discuss the problematic arising from procuring authorization from the ethical research Committee of the hospital to conduct a research in these premises. On the other hand, we discuss some ethic problems and dilemmas and we analyze the methodological and theoretical implications of such issues.

Keywords : Informed consent; Ethic; Participant observation; Hospital.
