Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices among healthcare professionals in Hail in relation to healthcare ethics and law. Background: Throughout history, men have repeatedly made judgments regarding their own conduct and that of their fellow men. Some acts have been judged to be right or good, while other acts have been denounced as wrong or evil. Ethical judgment in medicine is an attempt to distinguish between good and bad conduct. Recently, numerous attempts have been made to establish national clinical research documents in the countries of the Middle East. This article analyzes these documents. Method: Questionnaires were used. The program of SPSS (Cohort method) was used for statistical analysis of the results. Result: The mean of total agreements of application of ethics of medical students was 80.13%. While, 92.3% of governmental hospitals’ physicians had studied ethics, with a mean of total agreements of ethics application 84.44%. In private hospitals’ physicians had a mean of their agreements of ethics application was 77.25%. Conclusion: The medical ethics in Hail was highly applied. The third-year ethics course should be maintained, as the students found it appealing and interesting. Continuous medical education of ethics is essential for health care practitioners to follow the Islamic medical ethics.
