Getting through ethics committees: partnerships between researchers and clinicians working with mentally ill clients.
This paper discusses principles of ethics in nursing research with people suffering from mental illness. It offers a set of protocols which have been successful in obtaining approval from ethics committees to conduct research in the area of mental illness-'getting through'. The paper argues that nurse researchers and clinicians can achieve successful outcomes in mental health nursing research by working in partnership. An important aspect of this partnership is a commitment to uphold the rights of consumers of mental health care.
