To determine the preoccupation of general surgeons concerning ethics.
A survey by questionnaire.
One thousand members of the Canadian Association of General Surgeons were surveyed through a questionnaire, which inquired about the influence of ethics in their clinical practices. The questionnaire contained 12 questions. There was no recall for those who did not respond.
Responses to questions concerning the sex of the respondents, location of practice, number of years in practice, the presence of hospital support, surgeons' interest in ethical issues, use of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice in solving ethical dilemmas and level of education in clinical ethics.
Men made up 95% of the respondents; 64% of respondents had been in practice more than 16 years; 58% came from a community or regional hospital; only 10% had no interest in clinical ethics; only 3% stated that they experienced no ethical problems in their practices; and 52% had no formal education in ethics.
There was general sensitivity for clinical ethics but an evident lack of formal education and of the presence of ethics committees and ethics consultants in many hospitals.
确定普通外科医生对伦理道德问题的关注程度。
问卷调查。
通过问卷调查了1000名加拿大普通外科医生协会成员，询问伦理道德在其临床实践中的影响。问卷包含12个问题。未回复者未被再次联系。
关于受访者性别、执业地点、执业年限、医院支持情况、外科医生对伦理道德问题的兴趣、在解决伦理困境中对自主权、善行、不伤害和公正原则的运用以及临床伦理教育水平等问题的回答。
男性占受访者的95%；64%的受访者执业超过16年；58%来自社区或地区医院；只有10%对临床伦理道德不感兴趣；只有3%表示他们在实践中未遇到伦理道德问题；52%未接受过正规的伦理道德教育。
普通外科医生对临床伦理道德普遍敏感，但许多医院明显缺乏正规教育，且没有伦理委员会和伦理顾问。
