| 内容記述 | Background: In Japan, the framework for compensation for injury of paid health volunteers in medical research are defined in guidelines developed by pharmaceutical companies, therefore, the grade of the compensation seems lower, in some aspects, than that for employees defined by labor legislation. Aims: To compare difference of the grade of compensation between healthy volunteers in medical research and employees and to find whether the difference is justifiable. Methods: Narrative, non-systematic review of literatures through PubMed, google-search, with key words of compensation, injury, healthy volunteer, human subject, medical research, ethics, employee, labor, worker, social insurance; and interview survey with medical practitioners, researchers, research nurses, industrial physicians, and specialists in laws, social insurance, and ethics, both according to a standard to define the nature of workers and by means of free discussion on their experiences and perspective on difference of the grade of compensation for injury between employees and paid healthy volunteers in medical research, in the term between October 2008 and December 2009. Ethical conditions: This research is based on literature review and interviews with specialists and we don't present any specific cases of patients or research subjects, and all the interviewee gave consent that the contents of conversation are to be used anonymously in our research. We keep confidentiality of any persons concerned. Results: We identified 17 important documents to describe the grade of compensation of workers or research subjects; interviewed 21 persons concerning their experiences with compensation to workers and/or research subjects, and how they think about the difference of the grade of compensation between them. From both categories of findings, we found the following difference of the grade of compensation and similarity of natures between workers and research subjects: We found the paradoxical aspects that in view of conventional research ethics that it is prohibited to regard research subjects as laborer working with monetary incentives and because of this reason research subjects are not under legal protection by labor law, therefore the grade of compensation for research related injury of subjects are lower than that of workers. None the less, the nature of research subjects, especially of paid healthy volunteers is identified to be very similar to the nature of workers, which is estimated by means of reference standards to find nature of labor in some specific work. On the other hand, in Sweden, it seems to be regarded the grade of compensation should be same among laborers, research subjects, and patients. Discussion: There is limitation in our study because our literature search and interviews are not sufficiently systematic, and comparison of nature of research subjects and workers using reference standards are also insufficient. However, we find interesting deference between Japan and Sweden from view of national policy and philosophy concerning compensation for injury. Conclusions : It is necessary to make the grade of compensation of research subjects logically same as the grade of workers, without regarding them as "laborer", without jeopardizing ethical standard that we should not regard study subjects as laborer who work with monetary incentive. |
