Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: The previous studies reported a lack of awareness about bioethics among the medical undergraduate students and teaching staff. Hence, this study was planned to promote Bioethics through a workshop and aimed to evaluate the impact of this workshop. Methodology: The study population was medical students and teaching staff who participated in the Bioethics workshop. Pre-and post-test quasi- experimental model was used to assess the impact of workshop. Pretested and validated self-administered structured questionnaire was employed in pre- and post-test. The data was statistically analysed using paired t - test with significance level set at 5%. Result: Total 213 participants completed the study, of which 77% were medical students and 23% were the teaching staff. There was statistically significant improvement (5.29 vs 7.43) noted in the mean post-test score of the participants. Item-wise analysis also found significant improvement in the correct response. Conclusion: A well-organized workshop can improve the knowledge and attitude towards bioethics among the participants. Similar types of studies are recommended in other medical institutions.
