“…The Academic Dishonesty Index used by Lucas and Friedrich (2005) further delineated the activities that could be categorized as cheating, including submitting someone else's answers for an assignment, altering another student's grade on an assignment, copying from another student during an examination, using notes during an examination that were not approved, taking an examination for someone else or having someone else take one for you, and submitting the same paper for two instructors without the instructors' approval. Johanson (2010) explained that students cheat creatively with some of the newer techniques available, including the use of tattoos, labels on drinking containers, cell phones with cameras, and papers purchased online. Diligent instructor surveillance of academic dishonesty has become increasingly important and diffi cult as the methods of cheating become more complex.…”

This quantitative study identified sociodemographic and situational conditions that affected 336 nursing students' engagement in academic dishonesty, their attitudes regarding various forms of academic dishonesty, and the prevalence of academic dishonesty in which they engaged and witnessed. More than half of the participants reported cheating in the classroom and in the clinical settings. A positive relationship was found between the frequency of cheating in classroom and clinical settings. Results revealed differences in frequency of engagement in and attitudes toward academic dishonesty by gender, semester in the program, and ethnicity. Relationships were also found among peer behavior, personal beliefs and values, and frequency of engaging in academic dishonesty.

“…On the other hand, these technological advances gave rise to the use of antiplagiarism software (e.g., TurnItIn), which works by text matching. Although it cannot identify all forms of plagiarism, this software can help students in correcting themselves and help the teachers in identifying plagiarized work (Johanson, 2010; Walker, 2010).…”

To summarize the findings from literature regarding the prevalence of plagiarism and its various types, knowledge, and attitudes of students toward plagiarism, factors associated with plagiarism, and the applied interventions to decrease the incidence of plagiarism. Background: Plagiarism is a major form of academic dishonesty practiced by students at all educational levels. Introduction: Academic dishonesty was defined as any unauthorized help that adds to students' formal academic performance. These dishonest behaviors can be categorized as falsifying information, hiding errors, collaborating with colleagues when not allowed, and plagiarism. Methods: Systematic search of databases was conducted in September 2021 to identify studies that discussed plagiarism in nursing studies. We included 31 studies in this systematic review and meta-analysis, with a total of 9,175 nursing students. The analysis was conducted using RevMan software. Results: Plagiarism was the most frequent academic misconduct among nursing students (practiced by 55.3%). Paraphrasing without referencing was the most practiced form (39.53%), while submitting others' work without acknowledgment was the least one (9.61%). Most students were aware of the concept of plagiarism (80.8%) and had positive ethical attitudes toward it (88.26%). Plagiarism was negatively associated with age, parenting, and completing semester credits. However, it was positively correlated with average grades and liberal educators. Plagiarism was a significant predictor of clinical misconduct. Discussion: A gap in the students' knowledge and skills were noticed. These gaps may be contributing to the high occurrence of plagiaristic acts, besides the unethical attitudes. Conclusion: Plagiarism is a serious academic misconduct practice that can be associated with subsequent clinical misconduct. There is a need to fill the knowledge and skills gap, and to set effective policies. Implication for nursing and health policy: In their attempts to eliminate plagiarism, nurse educators are encouraged to provide effective educational training and practical tasks, in order to fill the gaps in knowledge and skills. Additionally, implementing clear and effective punishment policies would prevent intentional plagiaristic acts. This would aid in introducing qualified nurses accountable for the health of patients.

“…Unintentional breaches of academic integrity occur due to a lack of knowledge or skills in the conventions of academic writing and the student is unaware that they are doing something wrong (Johanson, 2010). Deliberate breaches of academic integrity are when the student deliberately undertakes academic fraud to pass work that is not their own as their own (Witmer & Johansson, 2015).…”
