Abstract
Introduction: Moral sensitivity is one criterion for competent professional ethics. This sensitivity can be reinforced by specific educational practices. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of professional ethics-based education on the ethical sensitivity of health information technology students.
Method: This quasi-experimental pre-post study was conducted in 2022 with 49 students. A researcher-created questionnaire based on Lutzen was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests.
Findings: Students' moral sensitivity score was 7.4 ± 0.7 before and 7.6 ± 0.8 after, a significant increase in post scores (P=0.031). The moral sensitivity score of students who had not previously received professional ethics training was statistically significantly increased by case-based learning.
Results: The professional ethics-based teaching method was effective in increasing the moral sensitivity of health information technology students, so it is recommended to use this method of teaching medical ethics courses.
