Abstract
"troduction Conceptual studies and case analyses dominating the medical ethics literature in the 1970s tended to be replaced by a new study type especially in the field of clinical ethics in the 1990s. This study method is “empirical research” originating from social science methodology and based on qualitative and quantitative data1,2 . In their series of papers on clinical ethics, 3-5 Singer, Siegler and Pellegrino defined clinical ethics research, presented their taxonomy for them, and reported that clinical ethics researches could be separated into two subdivisions as theoretical and empirical. In the subsequent period, many studies (6-13) were published evaluating empirical ethics research in the fields of bioethics, medical ethics and clinical ethics and emphasizing that this research together with normative ethics studies would make significant contributions to the field of medical ethics. In empirical ethics studies, data are collected and analyzed by research methods of clinical epidemiology or social sciences."
