OBJECTIVE
The aim of this research was to investigate attitudes towards principles of professional ethics (PPE) amongst Iranian dentists working in Isfahan, Iran.
METHODS
This pilot cross-sectional study was conducted amongst 273 dentists in Isfahan, Iran. A validated, comprehensive questionnaire including principles of respect for patient autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice was used to evaluate dentistry professional ethics aspects. Age, gender, marital status, type of graduate university, level of education, specialised field of study, work experience, workplace, and participation in ethics workshops and courses were registered from participants. Total and domains scores of used questionnaires were calculated and compared across categories of study participants' characteristics.
RESULTS
Mean ± SD age of participants was 35.4 ± 10.7 years, and 57% were female; about 73% graduated from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, and 65% were general dentists. The attitude total score of dentists towards PPE was 133.02 ± 13.16. Mean total score of the questionnaire and its domains was different significantly (P < .05) across categories of level of education, marital status, and passing the ethical courses.
CONCLUSIONS
The attitude of dentists towards PPE was rated at a good level. However, improvement in attitudes of some specific subgroups such as general dentists and newly graduated ones is needed. Conducting specific workshops about professional ethics and incorporating these principles into university curricula can be beneficial.
目的
本研究旨在调查伊朗伊斯法罕的牙医对职业道德原则（PPE）的态度。
方法
这是一项在伊朗伊斯法罕进行的试点横断面研究，共纳入 273 名牙医。采用经过验证的综合问卷，包括尊重患者自主权、不伤害、有利和公正的原则，评估牙科职业道德方面。记录参与者的年龄、性别、婚姻状况、毕业大学类型、教育程度、专业学习领域、工作经验、工作场所以及参与道德研讨会和课程的情况。计算使用问卷的总得分和各领域得分，并比较研究参与者特征的各个类别。
结果
参与者的平均年龄为 35.4 ± 10.7 岁，57%为女性；约 73%毕业于伊斯法罕医科大学，65%为普通牙医。牙医对 PPE 的总体态度评分为 133.02 ± 13.16。问卷总分及其各领域的平均分在教育程度、婚姻状况和通过伦理课程等类别之间存在显著差异（P<.05）。
结论
牙医对 PPE 的态度被评为良好水平。然而，需要改善一些特定亚组的态度，如普通牙医和刚毕业的牙医。举办关于职业道德的特定研讨会，并将这些原则纳入大学课程可能会有所帮助。
