The objective of this study was to explore the attitudes towards plagiarism among pharmacy students in Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on pharmacy students at King Saud University in Riyadh to assess their attitudes towards plagiarism. The questionnaire consists of 27 items on a 5-point Likert scale (strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, and strongly agree) that assess three attitudes about plagiarism (positive and negative attitudes, as well as subjective norms).
A total of 415 pharmacy students took part in this research. Among the whole sample, 55.7% were male, and 44.3% were female. The findings demonstrated a moderately positive attitude towards plagiarism (30 ± 6) and subjective standards (29 ± 7) as well as a moderate negative attitude (22 ± 5). About 26.5% of students did not believe that they worked in a plagiarism-free workplace, and 45.3% of students believed that self-plagiarism should not be punished in the same way as plagiarism.
The overall attitudes of pharmacy students were positive. Training in medical writing and research ethics in the undergraduate and graduate pharmacy curricula is mandatory.
本研究旨在探讨沙特阿拉伯药学专业学生对剽窃的态度。
在利雅得的沙特国王大学对药学专业学生进行了一项横断面研究,以评估他们对剽窃的态度。问卷由 27 个 5 级李克特量表(强烈不同意、不同意、中立、同意和强烈同意)项目组成,评估对剽窃的三种态度(积极和消极态度以及主观规范)。
共有 415 名药学专业学生参与了这项研究。在整个样本中,55.7%为男性,44.3%为女性。研究结果表明,学生对剽窃(30 ± 6)和主观规范(29 ± 7)持中等偏积极的态度,对剽窃持中等偏消极的态度(22 ± 5)。约 26.5%的学生不认为他们在无剽窃的工作环境中工作,45.3%的学生认为自我剽窃不应与剽窃受到同样的惩罚。
药学专业学生的整体态度是积极的。在本科和研究生药学课程中,医学写作和研究伦理的培训是强制性的。
