Medical students attending university for the first time experience a new environment, full of significant social, cultural, and intellectual challenges. Moreover, drug abuse and bullying among university students are major global concerns. The aim of the current study was to assess the impact of medicolegal issues on undergraduate and postgraduate students. It is a cross-sectional survey-based study, with each set of questions investigating cognitive functions, aggression, personality, and exposure to medicolegal issues. Males and those with a chronic disease have been significantly exposed to medicolegal issues; exposed students were significantly older than nonexposed ones. The scores of aggression were significantly higher among exposed and male students. The cognitive scores were higher for the students from rural areas than in urban areas, and females were more neurotic than males. The current study recommends conducting campaigns to educate university students on the importance of formally disclosing unethical behaviors and listening to the victims to facilitate overcoming their negative feelings. As many victims feel comfortable disclosing victimization to their friends, we recommend conducting peer educational programs to help friends support their colleagues regarding unethical misconduct.
首次进入大学的医学生体验到一个充满重大社会、文化和智力挑战的新环境。此外，大学生中的药物滥用和欺凌是全球主要关注的问题。本研究的目的是评估法医学问题对本科生和研究生的影响。这是一项基于横断面调查的研究，每组问题调查认知功能、攻击性、个性以及接触法医学问题的情况。男性和患有慢性病的人明显更容易接触到法医学问题；接触过这些问题的学生明显比未接触过的学生年龄大。在接触过这些问题的学生和男性学生中，攻击性得分明显更高。农村地区学生的认知得分高于城市地区的学生，女性比男性更神经质。本研究建议开展宣传活动，教育大学生正式披露不道德行为并倾听受害者的重要性，以帮助他们克服负面情绪。由于许多受害者向朋友披露受害情况时会感到自在，我们建议开展同伴教育项目，帮助朋友在同事出现不道德不当行为时给予支持。
