ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of scientific research ethics cognition of medical staff in 3A-grade hospitals in Fuzhou, and to put forward suggestions for strengthening the construction of scientific research ethics in hospitals.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted using a self-designed questionnaire, and the data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software.Results:Among the 478 respondents, 184 (38.49%) did not participate in ethics training, 123 (25.73%) were not aware of the organization of their hospital ethics committee, and 47 (9.83%) thought that carrying out ethics review was beneficial to patients but not to scientific research. Respondents with higher education, previous experience with ethics application review, who would consider relevant research ethics issues during clinical study protocol design and development, and who believed that ethical review of medical research would benefit both patients and research had a better overall cognition of research ethics ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Medical staff's cognition of various aspects of scientific research ethics is relatively weak. Hospitals should take multiple initiatives to improve the efficiency of ethical training, optimize the ethical review mechanism, and strengthen the construction of scientific research ethics.
