Obedience

Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The Stanford Prison Experiment

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.

Ethical Standards II

Ethical Standards II

Ethical standards are the backbone of nursing practice, guiding nurses as they interact with patients, families, and colleagues. These standards are crucial for providing safe, empathetic care centered on the patient's needs.
Nurses are entrusted with upholding various ethical principles and standards. Nurses forge solid therapeutic relationships using trust, empathy, autonomy, confidentiality, and professional competence.
Confidentiality is crucial, embodying respect for individual privacy...

Naturalistic Observations

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Student Well-being
Professionalism in Healthcare

Background:

Unacceptable behaviors, including verbal abuse, sexual harassment, and discrimination, are reported globally by health professional students.
Anecdotal reports from University of Otago clinical students indicate these issues are prevalent.
Existing data lacks comprehensive understanding of the extent, sources, and reporting of these behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the prevalence and sources of unacceptable behaviors experienced by health professional students at the University of Otago.
To examine student reporting patterns of these incidents.
To identify potential institutional responses and incorporate student perspectives into strategies.

Main Methods:

A sequential, two-phase mixed-methods design was employed.
Phase one involved a cross-sectional online survey of all clinical students across seven health professional programs.
Phase two included semi-structured interviews with a subset of students, guided by a student codesign panel.

Main Results:

Data analysis is ongoing, focusing on descriptive and thematic approaches.
The study aims to quantify the extent of unacceptable behaviors and identify key contributing factors.
Reporting behaviors and student-reported institutional responses will be detailed.

Conclusions:

This novel mixed-methods study will provide critical insights into unacceptable behaviors affecting health professional students.
Findings will inform evidence-based strategies to improve the educational environment and support student well-being.
Incorporating student perspectives ensures research and institutional responses are relevant and effective.
