Research ethics. RCN guidance for nurses (Published in March 2009). Many nurses are now undertaking research in a range of settings; therefore it is important to ensure that any research you are involved in is safe, robust and ethical. There are many different types of research: service evaluations, clinical trials or action research studies, but the ethical principles that should guide those involved remain constant. This updated guidance provides an introduction to these as well as providing nurses with an overview of recent developments in research ethics. RCN website 04/09.
