Abstract Background Delivery of medical ethics education is complex due to various reasons, compounded by the context-dependent nature of the content. The scarcity of relevant resources in the contexts of some developing countries adds a further layer of difficulty to ethics education in these contexts. We used a consultative approach with students, teachers and external experts to develop a contextually relevant and practical approach to medical ethics education. The aim of this study was to develop and refine a contextually relevant approach to ethics education in the region of Saudi Arabia. Methods The study utilized explorative qualitative methodology to seek views of students and faculty of Rabigh Faculty of Medicine, Kaing Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and international experts in the field of ethics and education to review and enhance a preliminary version of workbook-based ethics learning strategy. Three focus groups with 12 students and in-depth interviews with four faculty members enabled the study participants to objectively critique the WBEL and provide feedback to enhance its quality. In addition, eleven external experts critically analyzed the workbook. Thematic content analysis of the data was done to draw inferences which were used to refine the educational strategy. Results The analysis generated twenty-one sub-themes within four main themes: design features, content, teaching methods and assessment. These findings helped to modify the educational strategy for improve its effectiveness in the given context. Conclusion The study drew on the views of students, faculty and external experts to systematically develop a novel approach to ethics education for countries like Saudi Arabia. It also demonstrated the use of consultative approach for informing a culturally relevant educational strategy in Middle East context.

Abstract Background Complexities of ethics education, combined with socio-cultural issues specific to the medical curricula of the developing country context, have created resource constraints that impact medical ethics education delivery in countries like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. These constraints include the dearth of contextually relevant texts, shortage of trained teachers and confines in institutional regulations in the regions. Focused strategies are required to address these constraints. Workbook-based ethics learning (WBEL) is one such strategy based on a contextually relevant ethics education model. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ethics education, delivered through the WBEL strategy, on students’ learning and satisfaction in medical colleges of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Methods A pre-post-test intervention study was conducted in two medical colleges, Jinnah Sindh Medical University, Pakistan and King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. An ethics course was structured using the WBEL strategy and delivered to early clinical years medical students. The impact on student learning was measured by pre-and-post administration of a set of Key Feature Questions (KFQ) and a Script Concordance Test (SCT). A twenty-eight-item course feedback questionnaire was developed to collect students’ perceptions regarding the WBEL strategy. Results Of the total 125 students who consented, 90 (72%) completed the pre-and post-test measures, and 103 returned the feedback forms at the two sites. The post-test scores in KFQs were significantly higher than pretest scores in both Pakistani and Saudi students (p-value < 0.001). There was no significant pre-to-post difference in overall SCT scores (p = 0.057). The majority of participants considered the overall course to be valuable. They provided positive feedback on the Workbook’s usefulness and the enhancement of critical thinking within the course. Ethics case discussions, classroom quizzes, and reflective writing were considered most effective for learning during the course. Conclusion The findings suggest that the WBEL is a promising way forward in medical ethics education as it resulted in a notable increase in participants’ knowledge and ethical decision-making skills. The study also provides evidence of feasibility for using the WBEL strategy for teaching ethics in resource-limited regions.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine attitudes towards and perceptions of plagiarism among medical students in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This cross-sectional, multicentre study was conducted between April and May 2018 and involved medical students enrolled in three medical schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The previously validated Attitude Towards Plagiarism questionnaire was used to evaluate approval (i.e. a positive attitude) and disapproval of plagiarism (i.e. a negative attitude) among medical students. Furthermore, this study evaluated whether attending medical writing courses or courses in medical ethics influenced medical students’ attitudes towards plagiarism. Results: A total of 551 students participated in the study (response rate = 73.5%). A significant association was found between mean negative and positive attitude scores and grade point average (GPA; P = 0.004 and 0.007, respectively). Students attending medical ethics courses had higher mean negative attitude scores compared to students who did not attend such courses (odds ratio = 2.369, 95% confidence interval: 1.540–3.645; P <0.001). Attending medical ethics courses was associated with a significantly more negative attitude towards plagiarism (P <0.001, each). Conclusion: The majority of medical students in Saudi Arabia included in this study indicated a highly negative attitude towards plagiarism. A higher GPA, the authoring of a published manuscript and attending courses in medical ethics were associated with negative attitudes towards plagiarism among medical students.Keywords: Plagiarism; Attitude; Cross-Sectional Study; Medicine; Medical Students; Saudi Arabia.
