In a number of countries throughout the world attention is being paid to the ways in which health and social care research is undertaken and regulated. In the United Kingdom, new research governance frameworks are intended to promote improvement in research quality. This paper draws on our experiences of seeking research ethics committee approval for two investigations with the same research design, in order to address four governance issues: consistency within and between ethics committees; the assessment of vulnerable individuals regarding their suitability to participate in studies; the relationship between ethics and access; and ethics committee understanding of qualitative research.
世界上许多国家都在关注健康与社会护理研究的开展及监管方式。在英国，新的研究治理框架旨在促进研究质量的提升。本文借鉴了我们为两项具有相同研究设计的调查寻求研究伦理委员会批准的经验，以探讨四个治理问题：伦理委员会内部及之间的一致性；对弱势个体参与研究适宜性的评估；伦理与获取途径之间的关系；以及伦理委员会对定性研究的理解。
