Abstract

Objective: Analyze the ethical aspects of research with human beings.

Method and results: Integrative literature review, with 66 articles identified, using Academic Google and SciELO databases, from the following descriptors: ethics and research with humans, of which ten were selected for the study.

Conclusion: Research on human beings is essential for the development of science and medicine; however, they represent major challenges related to ethics. Guidelines are constantly improved to ensure safety, integrity and respect for the people who participate in research, but they have limited scope if not accompanied by the strengthening and improvement of ethics committees.
