Aim: To develop an understanding of the role of practice development nurses in Malta and to identify any barriers or opportunities associated with this role.
Method: An exploratory single case study methodology was used. Ten of the total population of 11 practice development nurses agreed to participate in the study.
Aim: This article presents key ethical challenges that were encountered when conducting a participatory qualitative research project with a very specific, small group of nurses, in this case with practice development nurses in Malta.
Background: With the small number of nurses employed in practice development roles in Malta, there are numerous difficulties of maintaining confidentiality. Poorly constructed interventions by the researcher could have resulted in detrimental effects to research participants and the overall trustworthiness of the research.
