Published Date: Jul 19, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The 2024 revision of the Declaration of Helsinki (DoH) marks a pivotal shift in biomedical research ethics, with significant implications for nursing research. This paper critically evaluates the Declaration's relevance to nursing practice, with particular attention to challenges in low-resource settings. Key updates emphasising global health equity, environmental sustainability, participant-centred consent and artificial intelligence (AI) governance are examined through nursing's ethical lenses of justice, beneficence and patient advocacy.
