How Does the IRB Address Ethical Concerns in Nursing Research?
The IRB addresses ethical concerns by thoroughly reviewing the ethical implications of proposed research. It ensures that studies are designed to minimize risks and maximize benefits for participants. The board also evaluates whether participants will be treated with respect and dignity throughout the research process. By requiring researchers to obtain informed consent, the IRB ensures that participants are fully aware of the potential risks and benefits before agreeing to take part in a study.
