Medical dramas have been popular since their inception, especially among medical students. We hypothesized that the recent increase in the availability of TV medical series through online streaming platforms has probably changed health science students' viewing habits as well as the representation of bioethical conflicts and health professionals.
We invited undergraduate students of medicine, nursing, and human biology to complete a self-administered questionnaire about their viewing habits and perceptions of the depictions of bioethical issues and professionalism in TV medical series.
Of the 355 respondents, 98.6 % had watched TV in the last year, 93.5 % watched TV series, and 49.6 % watched medical dramas more than once a week. The most-viewed medical dramas were The Good Doctor, House MD, and Grey's Anatomy. The most-remembered bioethical topics were medical errors, inappropriate professional behaviors, and death. Most students considered that ideals of professionalism were depicted positively and professionals were portrayed as intelligent, professionally qualified, and competent.
Medical dramas are very popular with health science students and are potentially useful as teaching tools for discussing issues related to bioethics and professionalism.
自诞生以来，医学剧一直很受欢迎，尤其是在医学生中。我们假设，通过在线流媒体平台提供的电视医学系列剧的可用性最近有所增加，这可能改变了卫生科学专业学生的观看习惯，以及生物伦理冲突和卫生专业人员的表现。
我们邀请了医学、护理和人类生物学专业的本科生填写一份关于他们观看习惯以及对电视医学剧中生物伦理问题和专业精神描述的看法的自我管理式问卷。
在 355 名应答者中，98.6%的人在过去一年中看过电视，93.5%的人看过电视剧，49.6%的人每周看一次以上的医学剧。最受欢迎的医学剧是《好医生》、《豪斯医生》和《实习医生格蕾》。最令人难忘的生物伦理话题是医疗失误、不当的职业行为和死亡。大多数学生认为专业精神的理想得到了积极的描绘，专业人员被描绘成聪明、有专业资格和能力的。
医学剧非常受卫生科学专业学生的欢迎，并且可以作为讨论与生物伦理和专业精神相关问题的有用教学工具。
