This article focusses on teaching medical students qualitative research in a practical setting of a study about sexual health. Insufficient training, research deviating from the proposal and context-related factors contributed to compromising trustworthiness of the study. The article provides a background to the study and reflects on factors that contributed to the breach of research integrity after the research supervisor questioned the credibility of findings. A semi-structured interview schedule was used, and data analysis exposed flaws. The team used Jasper's reflective cycle to change a crisis into a learning opportunity. The action plan triggered round two of data collection, followed by another reflective cycle.Contribution: The supervision role and student knowledge and attitude contributed to the undergraduate research project. Until a research report is submitted or data published, researchers can learn from the process to produce reliable results and rigorous ethical research.
本文聚焦于在一项关于性健康的研究的实际场景中教授医学生定性研究。培训不足、研究偏离提案以及与背景相关的因素导致该研究的可信度受损。本文提供了该研究的背景，并反思了在研究导师质疑研究结果的可信度后导致研究诚信遭到破坏的因素。使用了半结构化访谈提纲，数据分析揭示了缺陷。该团队运用贾斯珀反思循环将危机转化为学习机会。行动计划引发了第二轮数据收集，随后是另一个反思循环。贡献：监督作用以及学生的知识和态度对本科研究项目有所助益。在提交研究报告或发表数据之前，研究人员可以从这个过程中学习，以产生可靠的结果并开展严谨的伦理研究。
