Abstract

There is a changing emphasis in nursing research towards qualitative studies rather than quantitative ones. Phenomenology as a research methodology has value in discovering the real needs of patients and clients which The Scope of Professional Practice (UKCC, 1992) suggests should be the aim of each registered practitioner. Phenomenology is closely linked to nursing's humanistic philosophy. Phenomenology has given nurses valuable insights into the patients' perspective on a range of health and hospitalisation issues. Nursing research should not be allowed to remain a cottage industry.

Implementing emergency research requiring exception from informed consent, community consultation, and public disclosure.

Conducting emergency research in the out-of-hospital and emergency department setting is a challenge because of the inability of patients to provide informed consent in many situations. Federal guidelines allowing research under an exception from informed consent for emergency research have been established (21 CRF 50.24). Community consultation and public disclosure, 2 required components of obtaining this exception, are seen by many as a barrier to resuscitation research. This article will provide a brief overview of the history of the exception from informed consent for emergency research and summarize our methods recently used to successfully complete community consultation and public disclosure for a trial evaluating 2 devices used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a large metropolitan area.
