Abstract

Professional ethics is considered as one of the success factors of the organization today and is recognized as a competitive advantage. The aim of this study was to compare the status of professional ethics in first year and last year residents of Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. In the present descriptive cross-sectional study, all first year (100 people) and fourth year (35 people) residents completed a questionnaire of professional ethics and demographic information. The professional ethics questionnaire consists of 25 questions and its score range is 25 to 125 points. Data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics tests with SPSS software version 22. Based on results, the mean score of compliance with professional ethic of the first year residents was 79.89 ±12.40 and fourth year residents was 92.23 ±13.43 which had a significant difference (p <0.05). Spearman correlation test showed no significant association between the score of compliance with professional ethics and age of the first (r = -0.097, p = 0.335) and fourth year (r = -0.195, p = 270) residents. Compliance with professional ethic of the first year residents had a significant difference based on the study field and dermatology and ophthalmology had the highest level of professional ethics (p <0.05). Compliance with professional ethic of the fourth year residents was not significantly different based on study field. Overall the findings showed that, the residents of Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences have moral competence, but strategies must be presented and implemented to improve it.
