Nurse researchers conducting qualitative studies need to be acutely aware of the unique ways ethics, both nursing and research ethics, affect all phases of the qualitative research process. Decisions about what to study, which persons will be asked to participate, what methodology will be used, how to achieve truly informed consent, when to terminate or interrupt interviews, when to probe deeply, when therapy or nursing care supersedes research, and what and how case studies should be documented in the published results are all matters for ethical deliberation. This article seeks to examine some of the less obvious, yet very important, ethical concerns that nurses face throughout the research process and build a common core of values that can lead to meaningful process and socially responsible research results.
进行定性研究的护士研究人员需要敏锐地意识到伦理（包括护理伦理和研究伦理）影响定性研究过程各个阶段的独特方式。关于研究内容、邀请哪些人参与、使用何种方法、如何获得真正的知情同意、何时终止或中断访谈、何时深入探究、何时治疗或护理取代研究，以及在发表的结果中应如何记录案例研究及其内容等决策，都是需要进行伦理考量的事项。本文旨在探讨护士在整个研究过程中面临的一些不太明显但非常重要的伦理问题，并构建一个共同的核心价值观，以促成有意义的研究过程和具有社会责任感的研究结果。
