This study examines medical students' attitudes towards peer accountability.
A nationally representative sample of 564 third year medical students was surveyed. Students reported their agreement or disagreement with two statements: "I feel professionally obligated to report peers whose personal behaviors compromise their professional responsibilities" and "I feel professionally obligated to report peers who I believe are seriously unfit to practice medicine."
The majority of students (81.6 %) either agreed strongly or agreed somewhat that they feel obligated to report peers whose personal behaviors compromise their professional responsibilities. The majority (84.1 %) also agreed that they feel professionally obligated to report peers who they believe are seriously unfit to practice medicine.
In contrast with previous studies, this national study found that a significant majority of students reported that they feel obligated to report unfit peers.
本研究考察医学生对同伴问责制的态度。
对全国范围内具有代表性的564名三年级医学生样本进行了调查。学生们报告了他们对以下两条陈述的同意或不同意程度:“我认为在职业上有义务举报那些个人行为损害其职业责任的同伴”以及“我认为在职业上有义务举报那些我认为严重不适合行医的同伴”。
大多数学生(81.6%)强烈同意或 somewhat 同意他们有义务举报那些个人行为损害其职业责任的同伴。大多数(84.1%)也同意他们认为在职业上有义务举报那些他们认为严重不适合行医的同伴。
与之前的研究不同,这项全国性研究发现,绝大多数学生报告称他们有义务举报不称职的同伴。 (注:原文中“somewhat”未准确翻译,可根据语境灵活处理,比如“一定程度上”等)
