| description | Background: Research activities are increasing in all the
fields of medicine including dentistry but there is dearth of
information about the knowledge, attitude and behaviour of
dental professionals for ethical principles in research, especially
in the developing countries like India.
Objective: To assess knowledge, attitude and behaviour among
dental professionals pertaining to research ethics.
Materials and Methods: A self-administered, close ended
questionnaire survey with cross-sectional design was conducted
in a private dental institute in India. All the house-surgeons,
post-graduate students and the faculty of the same institute
were included for the assessment of the knowledge, attitude and
behaviour regarding research ethics using a 24, 8 and 8 items.
Results: A total of 213 of 230 dental professionals participated
(response rate of 92.6%). Mean knowledge, attitude and
behaviour scores were 43.3%, 82.5% and 46.37%, respectively.
Significant correlations were observed of age and gender with
the attitude about the research ethics among study subjects
(χ2
=14.383, p=0.006 and χ2
=7.769, p=0.021, respectively).
Conclusion: Participants had favorable attitude towards
research ethics, but their knowledge and behaviour needs
considerable improvements. The age and gender were
associated with attitude. The present pilot study highlights the
need for further nationwide study and development of research
ethics curriculum in detail for dental education in India. |
