In a descriptive-analytical study, we investigated academic dishonesty among general medical students during clinical rotations and proposed suggestions for improvement. A total of 106 medical students in the clinical periods were randomly selected for the study. We used a questionnaire consisting of four parts: demographic characteristics, causes of dishonesty, types of dishonesty, and suggestions for reducing dishonesty. The results showed that 50% of the students had a history of dishonesty during their clinical rotations. Marital status and the stage of clinical education were found to be related to dishonesty. The main reasons for dishonesty reported by the students were distress during clinical rotations and a lack of alignment between clinical education and their expectations. Common types of dishonesty during clinical rotations included gathering exam information from previous students and falsifying attendance records. The study concludes that the high prevalence of academic dishonesty among medical students during clinical rotations is concerning. It suggests the need to address distress among students, align clinical education with learners' expectations, and continuously monitor academic integrity to reduce dishonesty.
在一项描述性分析研究中，我们调查了普通医学生在临床实习期间的学术不诚实行为，并提出了改进建议。总共随机选择了106名处于临床实习阶段的医学生参与该研究。我们使用了一份包含四个部分的问卷：人口统计学特征、不诚实行为的原因、不诚实行为的类型以及减少不诚实行为的建议。结果显示，50%的学生在临床实习期间有过不诚实行为。研究发现婚姻状况和临床教育阶段与不诚实行为有关。学生报告的不诚实行为的主要原因是临床实习期间的困扰以及临床教育与他们期望之间的不一致。临床实习期间常见的不诚实行为类型包括从前辈学生那里收集考试信息以及伪造出勤记录。该研究得出结论，医学生在临床实习期间学术不诚实行为的高发生率令人担忧。这表明有必要解决学生的困扰，使临床教育与学习者的期望保持一致，并持续监测学术诚信以减少不诚实行为。
