Accident and emergency nurses as researchers: exploring some of the ethical issues when researching sensitive topics
1School of Health Science, University of Wales Swansea, Singleton Park, Swansea 5A2 8PP, UK.
Abstract:
The breadth and complexity of accident and emergency (A&E) services is potentially a fruitful area for nursing and interdisciplinary research. A significant proportion of potential areas for research in A&E settings could be considered as 'sensitive topic areas'. Sensitive topic research raises many challenges; in particular, it raises specific ethical issues. This paper defines and identifies examples of sensitive topic area research in A&E and discusses some of the ethical issues to be considered before embarking on such research in A&E settings.
