My PhD research underwent a detailed ethical review by the university's ethics committee, focusing on ensuring the study adheres to high ethical standards.
The committee examined the study's design, recruitment strategy, and participant consent procedures, ensuring respect for autonomy and confidentiality.
Feedback from the committee led to refinements in the survey, including clearer language and enhanced accessibility for participants.
The study was granted ethical approval, confirming its compliance with research ethics principles, such as respect, beneficence, and justice.
The survey content was reviewed and approved separately, ensuring alignment with the research framework and ethical standards.
With both approvals in place, the research is set to move forward, ensuring academic rigour and ethical integrity.
