Two themes were identified: nurses’ working in partnership with other professionals and engagement in education. Discussion Conclusion. There is no evidence that participation in research harms those who have recently been bereaved, but there is evidence of benefits from participating.

Objectives: The aim of this project was to identify core topics of health care ethics that could be taught through an inter-professional approach to undergraduate education. Design: Five nominal group technique workshops. Setting and participants: Teaching staff from different professional disciplines in our university (nursing branches, occupational therapy and physiotherapy). Results: Seven core topics of health care ethics that are common across all disciplines were identified. However participants in all workshops identified the need for case studies used in teaching and learning to be specific to the clinical setting encountered by the student. Conclusion: Despite the identification of core topics that apply to all disciplines, caution should be taken when seeking to integrate these into an inter-professional undergraduate programme. There is evidence from other studies that students have difficulty in transferring knowledge from one context to another. In view of this, an inter-professional approach to health care ethics teaching to a group, members of which do not encounter shared clinical ethical problems may be inappropriate. It is suggested that inter-professional learning in undergraduate health care ethics should focus on facilitating learning in the clinical area with students who share similar ethical encounters, in which case the learning will be truly inter-professional. Published here Conclusions: Nurses are concerned to obtain the patient" s consent prior to the administration of nursing care but if this cannot be achieved do not regard obtaining consent as an absolute requirement. Consent is preferred, but not considered essential. Nurses have some understanding of the principles of informed consent but do not apply them to everyday clinical nursing practice. Published here
