Abstract:
【Objective:】 To understand the current situation and influencing factors of ethical knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among clinical researchers, enhance their ethical awareness, and improve the quality of clinical researches. 【Methods:】 A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct a convenient sampling survey of medical staff who have participated in clinical study. 【Results:】 A total of 6,021 subjects were investigated, with males accounting for 28.46% and females accounting for 71.53%. The average age of them was (37.47±11.46) years old. The total score of ethics and the mean scores of the three dimensions of knowledge, attitude and practice were (70.62±12.99), (59.63±12.50), (79.55±19.62) and (74.92±18.29), respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that researchers with male, tertiary hospitals, doctors, ethics-related part-time jobs, postgraduate education, associate senior title or above, and training experience scored higher (P<0.05). 【Conclusion:】 Ethical attitudes have a significant mediating effect between knowledge and practice, accounting for 62.72% of the total effect. Researchers recognize the importance of ethics, but it is urgent to strengthen their knowledge learning and practical application.
