Abstract

Placebos are substances or interventions that have no known intrinsic value in treating the condition for which they are given (Beauchamp & Childress, 1994). In research, the placebo effect is a well‐described nuisance variable that researchers attempt to control through research design. In therapeutic management, particularly in nursing, placebo use is almost universally condemned as a deceptive practice (Bandman & Bandman, 1995; Fox, 1994).
