Abstract

Plagiarism is a common issue in written academic assignments and graduation theses. This multicenter study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude, opinion, perspective, and agreement of Palestinian medical students on strategies/recommendations to curb plagiarism. The study was conducted in a cross-sectional design using a questionnaire in all universities with medical education programs. The questionnaire contained 12 knowledge items, 8 attitude items, 6 opinion/perspective items, and 8 strategies/recommendations to curb plagiarism. Of the 550 invited medical students, 474 completed the study tool. Knowledge, attitude, opinion, perspective, and agreement on strategies/recommendations scores correlated positively. Higher knowledge, attitude, opinion, perspective, and agreement on strategies/recommendations scores were significantly associated with higher academic/training year, grade point average, satisfaction with academic achievement, academic writing skills, informational skills, using citation managers, receiving courses/workshops/lecturers on plagiarism, using plagiarism checking tools, and participation in a scientific paper/graduation thesis writing. Gaps in knowledge about plagiarism were identified among Palestinian medical students. Educators/trainers and other decision-makers in medical schools and higher academic institutions might use the strategies on which the students agreed to curb plagiarism.

巴勒斯坦医科学生对遏制抄袭策略/建议的了解、态度、观点、看法和认同：一项多中心横断面研究。

剽窃是书面学术作业和毕业论文中的一个常见问题。这项多中心研究旨在评估巴勒斯坦医科学生对遏制抄袭策略/建议的了解、态度、观点和看法。研究采用横断面设计，在所有开设医学教育课程的大学进行问卷调查。问卷包含 12 个知识项目、8 个态度项目、6 个观点/看法项目和 8 个遏制抄袭的策略/建议。在受邀的 550 名医学生中，有 474 人完成了研究工具。知识、态度、观点、看法和对策略/建议的认同度得分呈正相关。较高的知识、态度、观点、看法和对策略/建议的认同度得分与较高的学业/培训年级、平均学分绩点、对学业成绩的满意度、学术写作技能、信息技能、使用引文管理器、接受有关抄袭的课程/讲习班/讲师、使用抄袭检查工具和参与科学论文/毕业论文写作有显著关联。在巴勒斯坦医科学生中发现了有关剽窃的知识差距。医学院校和高等学术机构的教育者/培训者及其他决策者可以利用学生们同意的策略来遏制剽窃行为。
