Investigation is indispensable for the nursing profession because it contributes to the development of the overall set of knowledge the profession has and thereby improves the practical, clinical care given to patients. However if we look into the history of research and investigation, we realize that investigators have not always respected persons' fundamental rights. This article starts with a short introduction which highlights the role played by investigation for the nursing profession. Then the author presents a historical overview on investigation in order to provide insights into the ethical problems related to investigation, and finally the author comments on the main ethical criteria which should be followed during investigation by nurses.
调查对于护理专业而言不可或缺，因为它有助于该专业整体知识体系的发展，从而改善为患者提供的实际临床护理。然而，倘若我们审视研究与调查的历史，就会意识到研究者并非始终尊重人的基本权利。本文开篇进行简短介绍，着重阐述调查对护理专业所起的作用。接着，作者呈现了一份关于调查的历史概述，以便深入了解与调查相关的伦理问题，最后，作者对护士在调查过程中应遵循的主要伦理标准进行了评论。
