: This paper discusses the ethical considerations involved in conducting qualitative non-therapeutic research on people suffering from obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), a topic covered in few, if any, prior studies.    Methods:  The study summarizes in depth the existing literature on ethical aspects of conducting qualitative and nursing research with psychiatric patients. It constructs an overview of the most important points that should be taken into account when conducting non-therapeutic qualitative research on individuals with this disorder.    Results:  This paper draws attention to three ethical considerations: (1) informed consent; (2) OCD sufferer’s competence to give consent; and (3) aspects of the relationship that arises between the researcher and participant.    Conclusions:  This paper argues that those with OCD remain capable of giving consent, notwithstanding the continuing debates around their cognitive condition. It also provides an informative overview of aspects concerning their competence and insight, and suggests precautions to be followed when conducting interviews, paying attention to several factors that may determine the nature of the interview.    Keywords : qualitative research, non-therapeutic research, ethical considerations, obsessive–compulsive disorder.
