背景资料：人们越来越有兴趣让儿童参与研究，这是由于对儿童权利的认识以及在社会科学中将儿童重新定义为积极的行为者而不是研究对象。回顾儿童定性研究中涉及的方法学和伦理学问题，并根据最近的辩论，考虑对护理研究的影响。社会科学。设计：叙述性文献综述，使用计算机databases.Data Sources的系统搜索：发表的论文，关键文本，报告和政策文件，涉及的方法和伦理问题进行定性研究与children.Results：有三个伦理问题进行研究与儿童：权力关系，知情同意和保密。在对儿童进行研究方面，可以确定两个关键的方法问题。一个是认识论的，涉及到童年和成年的不同文化，第二个涉及到童年本身的异质性。新颖的技术和任务为基础的活动越来越多地被用来建立融洽的关系，并作为一种方法的datacollection.Conclusion：有差异和相似之处进行定性研究与儿童和成人，但往往被忽视的相似之处和差异夸大。护理和其他与健康有关的研究人员与成人进行研究，可以学到很多从儿童的研究人员，特别是在敏感性方面的道德问题。护理研究需要考虑在社会科学中一直争论的方法论问题，并批判性地反思在定性研究中使用新技术。(C)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Background: There is an increasing interest in involving children in research that has been influenced by the recognition of children's rights and by the reconceptualisation of children within the social sciences as active agents rather than as the objects of research.Objectives: To review the methodological and ethical issues involved in conducting qualitative research with children and to consider the implications for nursing research in light of recent debates within the social sciences.Design: Narrative literature review using a systematic search of computerized databases.Data Sources: Published papers, key texts, reports and policy documents that relate to the methodological and ethical issues in conducting qualitative research with children.Results: There are three ethical issues in relation to conducting research with children: power relations, informed consent and confidentiality. Two key methodological issues are identifiable in relation to conducting research with children. One is epistemological and relates to the different cultures of childhood and adulthood and the second relates to the heterogenous nature of childhood itself. Novel techniques and task-based activities are being increasingly used to establish rapport and as a method of data collection.Conclusion: There are both differences and similarities in conducting qualitative research with children and with adults but often the similarities have been overlooked and the differences overstated. Nursing and other health-related researchers conducting research with adults could learn much from children's researchers, particularly in terms of sensitivity to ethical issues. Nursing research need to consider the methodological issues that have been debated in the social sciences and to critically reflect on the use of novel techniques in qualitative research.
