The lack of formal education in research ethics is a significant issue for the ethical conduct of research in Serbia. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in a sample of researchers and ethics committee members in Serbia to evaluate their self-assessed competence and educational needs in research ethics. Results indicated that previous ethics education had a significant effect on respondents' perception of their own competence in addressing issues like informed consent, authorship and publishing. Respondents expressed a high motivation for further research ethics education. Moreover, the study revealed that researchers with different specializations and different research experience have different educational needs.
在塞尔维亚,缺乏研究伦理方面的正规教育是研究伦理行为的一个重大问题。我们对塞尔维亚的研究人员和伦理委员会成员样本进行了一项横断面调查,以评估他们在研究伦理方面的自我评估能力和教育需求。结果表明,先前的伦理教育对受访者在处理诸如知情同意、作者身份和发表等问题时对自身能力的认知有显著影响。受访者表达了对进一步开展研究伦理教育的强烈意愿。此外,研究还表明,不同专业和不同研究经验的研究人员有不同的教育需求。
