title: Ethical issues in research.
abstract: There are many ethical issues in relation to research when dealing with human subjects, e.g. confidentiality, dignity, benefit-to-risk ratio and informed consent. The integrity of researchers is paramount. For nurses, there is potential role conflict between the role of researcher and the role of patient's advocate. Cultural variations in ethical acceptability complicate the issues in a multicultural mix of researchers and human subjects.
