ABSTRACT
 Throughout history, science has enlightened us in overcoming the obstacles in our way and has tried to be a solution to our problems. Science has been the port where people took refuge while trying to cope with the problems they experienced. With the developing technology in recent years, human beings have been able to reach information faster in overcoming obstacles and have shaped their research in this direction. Especially recently, coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has been an important pandemic problem affecting people. People have sought to get faster information to solve their problems during the pandemic process. Because the reasons such as the fact that COVID-19 can be transmitted through the respiratory tract quickly, that it is a virus encountered for the first time and that there is no treatment yet, and that it causes the death of many individuals, have led to the acceleration of research in this process. Scientists have made efforts in a rapid scientific research process in order to be beneficial to the society, but in this process, they had to face a situation that could create many ethical problems and debates. Nursing profession, which is one of the important building blocks of the health field, was also affected in this process in terms of nursing research. Significant difficulties were encountered in the planning and conduct of the studies. Especially since the profession is an applied discipline by nature, the difficulties encountered in practice have also affected the structure of research and led to ethical debates.

Keywords: COVID-19; science; research; ethics; nursing
ÖZET
 Bilim, tarih boyunca yolumuza çıkan engelleri aşmada önümüzü aydınlatmış, sorunlarımıza çare olmaya çabalamıştır. Bilim, insanların yaşadığı sorunları ile baş etmeye çalışırken sığındığı limanı olmuştur. İnsanoğlu, son yıllarda gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte engelleri aşmada bilgiye daha hızlı ulaşabilmiş ve araştırmalarını bu doğrultuda şekillendirmiştir. Özellikle son zamanlarda yaşanılan koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)], insanları etkileyen önemli bir pandemik sorun olmuştur. İnsanlar, pandemi sürecinde sorunlarının çözümü için daha hızlı bir bilgi alma arayışına girmiştir. Çünkü COVID-19'un hızlı bir şekilde solunum yolu ile bulaşabiliyor olması, ilk kez karşılaşılan bir virüs olması ve tedavisinin henüz olmaması, çok sayıda bireyin ölümüne yol açması gibi nedenler bu süreçte araştırmaların hızlanmasına yol açmıştır. Bilim insanları, topluma faydalı olabilmek için hızlı bir bilimsel araştırma süreci içinde çabalar harcamış, ancak bu süreçte pek çok etik sorun ve tartışma oluşturabilecek durum ile yüzleşmek zorunda kalmıştır. Sağlık alanının önemli yapı taşlarından olan hemşirelik mesleği de bu süreçte hemşirelik araştırmaları anlamında etkilenmiştir. Araştırmaların planlanması ve yürütülmesinde önemli zorluklar yaşanmıştır. Özellikle mesleğin doğası gereği uygulamalı bir disiplin olması nedeniyle uygulamalarda karşılaşılan güçlükler, araştırmaların yapısını da etkilemiş ve etik tartışmalara yol açmıştır.
