Conceptualization of a research study is the most critical phase, which includes several meticulous steps. The first step in the process is to identify the common research problems that prevail in a particular context, either through clinical observations or through literature review; each of these sources may be used to validate the problem identified through the other. The next step involves an in depth literature search to identify the work previously done in the field, determining the gap in the existing body of literature and establishing the need for the proposed study. The final step of the conceptualization phase is concerned with establishing the significance of the proposed study. This paper reports the conceptualization of a research study conducted in Karachi, to identify the gender differences among Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients, in terms of their prehospital delay times and in the associated factors of delay.Keywords

Ethical and moral dilemmas are faced by nurses and other health care professionals very frequently. Nurses need to be adequately prepared for effective resolution of these dilemmas. Nurse educators need to focus more on the process of resolution, than stressing upon the right decision. Patricia Crisham's MORAL model presents an organized way of resolving ethical dilemmas; MORAL model begins with 'massaging the dilemma', followed by 'outlining options' and 'reviewing the ethical criteria'. The final stages of the model include 'affirming a position and ACT' and an opportunity to 'look back' at the entire process and its outcomes. The paper presents an ethical dilemma and its resolution through the MORAL model as an exemplar for nurse educators and nursing students. It is recommended that this model should be used in nursing education for teaching systematic resolution of ethical dilemmas, to the nurses.Keywords
