Abstract
This paper represents a concept analysis on disclosure. The paper offers an in-depth understanding of the concept of disclosure and defines what it represents, as well as what it does not represent. The paper's focus and motivation is to identify a foundation for future exploring, measuring, and testing the idea in regard to a full dissertation on abused pregnant women. The paper is based on Avant and Walker's "Strategies for Theory Construction in Nursing" and, therefore, provides a brief discussion of the overall concept and insights into why this topic was selected. The paper discusses how it relates to nursing, as well as to abused pregnant women. The paper describes the inherent literature search process and identifies possible uses of the concept, including non-nursing literature. The paper explores how the theoretical framework used relates to the original concept.
From the Paper
"It is critical to clearly define the attributes associated with the aspects of this idea. The first is the concept of disclosure itself which will be driven by the legal community. The second attribute structure would revolve around the pregnant women abused in a scientifically significant way. "Walker and Avant maintained that mid-range theories balance this specificity with the conceptual economy normally seen in grand theories. As a result mid-range theories provide nurses with the 'best of both worlds ' - easy applicability in practice and abstract enough to be scientifically interesting. Thus, the attributes associated with pregnant women's abuses would be of a relatively broad scope of phenomena and would not cover the full range of phenomena that could be of concern in this discipline."

Abstract
The objective of this paper is to gain new insights into the concept of disclosure and how it pertains to the nursing profession. The objective is to establish the groundwork for future research in the disclosure legislation, as well as the day-to-day aspects of disclosure rules. The report was outlined according to Avant and Walker's "Strategies for Theory Construction in Nursing". The report layout aims to give a brief description of disclosure and how it will be affected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and offers reasoning for why this topic was selected. The report talks about the detailed literature search that would be necessary for full topic coverage and identifies some uses of the concept, with non-nursing literature also included. The report then determines defining attributes by utilizing the concept of 'Model, Borderline, Related, Contrary, Invented and Illegitimate' detailing. From there, an identification of antecedents and/or consequences is done, with empirical referents related to the concept also being discussed. The conclusion entails a discussion pertaining to the theoretical framework as it relates to the disclosure.
From the Paper
"By definition, disclosure is simply the act or process of revealing or uncovering something. However, in the medical community, privacy advocates and the technology based information age have redefined what disclosure is and what it is not. The United States healthcare system encompasses many different layers including health plans, physicians, hospitals, clinics, consumers, and public health programs. Today, as consumers go through the process of selecting either a health plan, doctor of other health professional, there are many opportunities for that individual's personal information such as a social security number, medical condition or diagnosis to make its way through the hands of many medical professionals in various capacities. "Almost all of us are aware that our personal information is being collected and stored by many different entities." (Soloye)"

Abstract
This paper explains that there are benefits and disadvantages for both full and anonymous disclosure, depending on the specific situation. The author points out that disclosure involves certain exclusions and exemptions from the usual principle of confidentiality. The paper relates that, without full disclosure, a person may never obtain the help he need and other individuals may be placed at risk; therefore, full disclosure can be therapeutic and leads to therapy and healing. The author also stresses that anonymous disclosure can be more appropriate because of culture and stigma; however, the risks and dangers can outweigh the benefits. The paper underscores that debate between the use of full or anonymous disclosure requires a careful risk-benefits analysis.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Full Disclosure versus Anonymous Disclosure
HIV and Disclosure
Child Abuse and Disclosure
From the Paper
"The immediate goals then are to have the person use safe sex and ensure that the partner is tested. If the person does not agree to make full disclosure, then this is a situation where the health care provider is exempt from normal principles of confidentiality. The reason is that public health is at risk and other people's lives are being endangered. The process to be followed is to attempt to influence the person to disclose; if attempts at influence fail, then notify the authorities; and, if there is no action on the art of authorities, inform the endangered person of the issue."

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of disclosure in medical profession, the admission of mistakes/errors by nursing/medical professionals to their patients or colleagues. The paper examines the differences between open disclosure and self-disclosure. The paper presents a literature review of theories of open and self-disclosure.
From the Paper
"Disclosure in medical profession refers to admission of mistakes/errors by nursing/medical professionals to their patients or colleagues. There are categories to disclosure such as open disclosure or self-disclosure etc. Wu, Folkman, McPhee, and Lo (1991) defined a medical mistake as "an act or omission for which the house officer felt responsible that had serious or potentially serious consequences for the patient and that would have been judged wrong by knowledgeable peers at the time it occurred" (p. 2089). Studies reveal that doctors are reluctant to admit mistakes for various reasons. Petronio (1994 b) found that doctors are not willing to open up because disclosure of errors leads to risks of vulnerability. Admitting mistakes to colleagues might result in criticism and loss of self-esteem and disclosing errors to patients invites anger and possible lawsuits."

Abstract
This paper attempt to prove that the mandatory disclosure of HIV/AIDS status violates basic human rights. The author also addresses the question of how the very concept of human rights relates to ethics.
From the Paper
"According to the latest statistics in the year 2000 alone, 5.3 million people worldwide have been infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The number of people already living with HIV is 36.1 million worldwide. When the first case of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) caused by HIV was reported twenty years ago, perceptions about the disease were different. Since 5 June 1981, the history of AIDS has witnessed an evolution from an object of medical curiosity to a complex health issue with political, economical, human security and ethical dimensions. Today AIDS is also a workplace issue since HIV positive people have the ability and, moreover, the need to maintain their employment. Should they disclose HIV status, however? No equitable answer is available and discussions on the topic are intense."

Abstract
The writer of this paper describes the techniques used by the film maker to illustrate common issues evident in cutthroat corporate America. The writer explains how Levinson combines cynicism with optimism to realistically portray the conflicts in corporate circles.
From the Paper
"Cutthroat corporate America comes alive in Barry Levinsons?s film Disclosure starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. The title of the film conveys several meanings: the most carnal is the disclosure of Meredith Johnson?s (Moore?s) body. Her seduction falls short of perfect, however, and soon the truth is revealed, thanks to a coincidental phone message. Disclosure also refers to the uncovering of the sordid truth in Digicom?s cost-cutting plans for their new CD ROM drive, Arcamax. To assure a lucrative merger, Garvin (played by Donald Sutherland) and his team subvert production plans of the new drives, thereby humiliating the head of production lines, Tom Sanders (Douglas). ?Give a man $100 million and you create a frustrated billionaire,? warns Stephanie Kaplan, who turns out to be a true friend to Sanders. Disclosure elucidates the genuine corporate conflict between profit and integrity and also illustrates the continued tension between sexuality and power in the workplace. Levinson and his cast use body language, dialogue, and cinematographic pacing to draw out and resolve the film?s conflicts."

Abstract
This paper examines the extent to which interpersonal relationships evolve from initial interactions between women and, in particular, how these relationships flourish or are influenced by the number of partners and length of the partnership a woman shares with the object of her disclosure. More specifically, the paper looks at what impact, if any, the length of a relationship has on a woman's use of disclosure and whether the number of relationships a woman has had impacts her use of disclosure.
From the Paper
"In general, studies suggest that women have higher levels of self-disclosure than men. When women are observed in interpersonal intimate relationships, their use and level of self-disclosure may be expected to influence variable including their level of communication satisfaction and the number and length of interpersonal relationships they maintain. What exactly however, is the relationship between self-disclosure and the number of interpersonal intimate relationships women maintain?"

From the Paper
"This paper discusses the issues of bioethics as they relate to a specific case--that of an East Coast businessman, W.E., who discovers that he is HIV-positive but who refuses to disclose this information to his wife. The doctor who makes the diagnosis is in San Francisco, but he feels obligated to notify W.E.'s hometown doctor and to tell this physician that he should inform W.E.'s wife (W.E.'s doctor is not her personal physician).
At least three major issues are raised by this scenario: the San Francisco physician's disclosure of information to a family doctor without the permission of the patient; the patient's obligation to his wife and children, who might need treatment; and the family physician's responsibility--is he supposed to protect patient confidentiality and not tell the ...

Abstract
The paper examines the ethical issues and requirements when dealing with criminal record disclosures. The paper offers recommendations for professionals that may come across situations where there are no clear cut steps to take, and concludes with a summary of the relevant issues.
Outline:
Introduction
Criminal Record Disclosure Requirements
Examples of Ethical Conflicts in Disclosure Requirements
Recommendations to Solve Ethical Issues
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This raises ethical concerns since sensitive client/patient information is shared, that includes medical and background records. Affiliates are also given access to these records, so there must be some kind of security mechanism in place to protect the confidential information. In the case of open disclosure to officials in the criminal justice system, such criminal justice employees are only focused on their portion that is related to client's case, which may be at reaching a charge or guilty verdict. There is the question of how much disclosure is necessary; this may account for a gap in the relevant ethical code that the professional must decide on their own. In other words, a choice must be made between two courses of action. This is difficult because in most cases there are significant consequences for taking either course of action. Each of the two courses of action can be supported by one or more ethical principle, and the ethical principles supporting the unchosen course of action will be compromised disclosure requests can adequately perform their jobs."

Abstract
This paper examines Martin Heidegger's view, in his essay "Plato's Sophist", of the Aristotelian concepts of "conscience" and "know-how". The paper points out that Heidegger delimits these concepts as modes of disclosure, to reveal the manner in which their deliberation of beings relates to their agent and his experience of "being in the world". "Know-how" concerns itself primarily with the production of objects as form, which are then removed from its sphere of influence to realize their being through proper use. "Conscience" takes as its object life itself, and its dileberations of "excellence" are integrated into the agent. The paper maintains that, according to Heidegger, this creates a transparency of action and "being in the world" (Dasein) that must constantly reassert itself to resist life's natural tendency toward concealment. The paper concludes that the fundamental difference between these two modes of disclosure can be seen in their relationship to "excellence" and the manner in which their products are manifested.
From the Paper
"The characteristic of excellence ( ) finds its expression differently in (know-how) and (conscience), revealing a primary distinction between these two modes of disclosure. While both direct themselves toward the becoming of beings which 'may be otherwise', stands beside ( ) its productions, whereas integrates its productions. Excellence ( ) is to manifest the perfection inherently possible to beings, which requires a degree of certitude. T finds this possible, within its limits of disclosure, while can never have such. Though the authentic being of an object is inaccessible to because it does not participate in its use, perfection of form ( ) may be reached through its fundamental methodology. As a set of principles drawn from a multiplicity of experiences, the process of trial and error creates a certainty that the form ( ) has achieved its maximum potential. As with the scientific method, the more experiments that reinforce a theory, the more accurate a representation of reality it is assumed to be. Any error results in a reworking of the theory to include such information, therefore increasing its accuracy ( ). "But in the case of , on the contrary, where it is a matter of a deliberation whose theme is the proper Being of Dasein, every mistake is a personal shortcoming". Errors do not open up the possibility of a higher degree of knowledge; rather, they are a complete corruption of proper being. Every deliberation of is in the form of an either/or proposition: it cannot have an end ( ) of excellence ( ) because it is excellence ( ) in its constant becoming. "The [origin] with which has to do is the action itself. And the which is taken into consideration in is the action itself". Thus, within , that which is uncovered remains uncovered through the constant struggle which orients it always toward its continuous expression in the actions ( ) of authentic Dasein. Conscience may be distorted by the desires and their usurpation of Dasein, but it can never be forgotten."

Abstract
This paper focuses on how ethics, according to one journal article author, impacts the financial decision-making process, those issues of ethics involved in financial decision-making with respect to financial objectives and financial decision-making. The analysis also includes comments on the author's use of business research formatting and the method by which the author presented his research investigation. In order to exemplify these variables an article relative to the subject matter was chosen for analysis. The article chosen for the analysis, "Disclosure of Ethical Considerations in Investment Product Disclosure Statements: A review of Current Practice in Australia" was published by the Australian Conservation Foundation.
From the Paper
"The view that ethical considerations it the nemesis of financial decision-making and opportunity is held by many and, accordingly, limits the universe of possible investment opportunities. However, financial business decision-making in the absence of ethical considerations will eventually lead to market and investment distrust, weakened balance sheets, and lost opportunity. Although both of the aforementioned statements were very clearly pronounced by the author little evidentiary support was given by way of scientific or research evidence."

Abstract
This paper provides an in-depth examination of this Act, which is promoted to effect change in the corporate environment, generally, by stressing issues of public accountability and disclosure in the financial operations of companies. It explains how this is an Act that represents the government?s and the Security and Exchange Commission?s interest in promoting ethical standards in terms of financial disclosure in the corporate environment.
From the Paper
"Nonetheless, though, these are types or categorizations of companies that are directly affected by the mandates of SOX in way that is perceived by the company to be positive or negative. From a negative viewpoint, in terms of counterargument, regulatory measures such as the act are seen to be a burden that comes in the wake of Enron-like scandals and saddles companies with impeccable ethical credentials with the new baggage of compliance, which in some cases tends to incur extra costs, whether the company deserves it or not. This perspective concentrates on a negative reaction to change in the demand environment, and this point of view would have a compromise with the regulatory measures or perhaps some sort of scaled individual reckoning rather than across-the-board, sweeping changes that include different categorizations of public and private interest."

Abstract
This research study maintains the hypothesis that a child with HIV should be told of the fact rather than lied too. The reason being that gradual disclosure allows less psychological impact as compared to being told in one phase. This is proved through comparison of two case studies of children with HIV.
