To evaluate the effects of an interdisciplinary session on medical ethics and legal issues related to obstetrics and gynaecology on medical students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours.
Second-year medical students at the University of Alberta were asked to complete surveys before and after an interdisciplinary panel session on ethics and legal issues in reproductive health. Survey questions were related to knowledge of ethics and law, attitudes toward controversial topics in reproductive health, and predicted behaviours in specific clinical scenarios. In the postsession survey, students were asked to evaluate the session's usefulness and impact.
Fifty-seven students completed both the pre- and postsession surveys. Most students listed family, religion, culture, peer groups, scientific thought and theory, and school and education as influences on their own personal ethics and morality. Fifty-five students (97%) stated that the panel session was useful. Most students (79%) reported that the session increased their knowledge of ethical and legal issues in reproductive health. Many students felt that the panel session would change the way they practise in similar clinical situations (63%). The panel session appeared to affect knowledge and predicted behaviour.
A large-group interdisciplinary panel session can influence medical students' knowledge and future behaviours related to ethics and law in obstetrics and gynaecology. Medical students gave this session a high rating.
评估一场关于妇产科医学伦理与法律问题的跨学科会议对医学生知识、态度和行为的影响。
阿尔伯塔大学的二年级医学生在一场关于生殖健康伦理与法律问题的跨学科小组会议前后被要求完成调查问卷。调查问题涉及伦理与法律知识、对生殖健康中争议性话题的态度以及在特定临床场景下的预期行为。在会后调查中，学生们被要求评估会议的有用性和影响。
57名学生完成了会前和会后调查。大多数学生将家庭、宗教、文化、同龄人群体、科学思想和理论以及学校和教育列为对其个人伦理道德有影响的因素。55名学生（97%）表示小组会议有用。大多数学生（�9%）报告称该会议增加了他们对生殖健康伦理与法律问题的了解。许多学生认为小组会议会改变他们在类似临床情况下的实践方式（63%）。小组会议似乎影响了知识和预期行为。
一场大型跨学科小组会议可以影响医学生在妇产科伦理与法律方面的知识及未来行为。医学生对该会议评价很高。
