This study aimed to investigate Omani university students' perceptions of and attitudes towards academic integrity policies through a comparison between healthcare (nursing and medicine) and non-healthcare students.
A cross-sectional study design was conducted during the 2018-2019 academic year wherein students were asked to complete an anonymous questionnaire. Data were collected from nine colleges at Sultan Qaboos University and analysed.
A total of 579 students completed the questionnaire (response rate: 90%). The results revealed that healthcare students have a significantly higher perception of and better attitudes towards academic integrity policies compared to their non-healthcare counterparts.
The results of this study should motivate faculty to foster better understanding and implementation of the honour code to encourage an environment of academic integrity for students.
