“…Some practitioners may be of the opinion that mere compliance to the rules and guidelines of these codes constitute ethical conduct, whilst in actual fact the intention of codes of conduct is to engage practitioners in in-depth ethical reflection, interpretation, critical thinking, debate and decision-making skills to deal with a wide variety of ethical dilemmas in health care contexts (Banks 1998 ; Novaes et al . 2014 ). The codes should also assist physiotherapists to bridge the divide between abstract theoretical ethics principles and constructs contained in medico-legal documents and on-the-ground-real-life ethical challenges (Burke et al .…”

BackgroundThe role of ethics in a medical context is to protect the interests of patients. Thus, it is critically important to understand the guilty verdicts related to professional standard breaches and ethics misconduct of physiotherapists.AimTo analyse the case content and penalties of all guilty verdicts related to ethics misconduct against registered physiotherapists in South Africa.MethodsA mixed methods approach was followed consisting of epidemiological data analysis and qualitative content analysis. The data documents were formal annual lists (2007–2013) of guilty verdicts related to ethical misconduct. Quantitative data analysis focused on annual frequencies of guilty verdicts, transgression categories and the imposed penalties. Qualitative data analysis focused on content analysis of the case content for each guilty verdict.ResultsRelatively few physiotherapists (0.05%) are annually found guilty of ethical misconduct. The two most frequent penalties were fines of R5000.00 and fines of R8000.00 – R10 000.00. The majority of transgressions involved fraudulent conduct (70.3%), followed by performance of procedures without patient consent (10.8%). Fraudulent conduct involved issuing misleading, inaccurate or false medical statements, and false or inaccurate medical aid scheme claims.ConclusionUnethical conduct by physiotherapists in South Africa occurs rarely. The majority of penalties imposed on sanctioned physiotherapists were monetary penalties.

“…It is essential to seize concepts of medical ethics in training, given their extreme need in the preparation of physicians 5,21,[35][36][37][38] when establishing ethical conduct in the scientific, technological, biological and health fields 2,7 . However, this research revealed low overall performance of G1, which, when added to the cases of superior performance of G2, shows that the instruction of students, even among those who attended at least one of the two disciplines that address medical ethics, is insufficient to deal with other dilemmas.…”

“…It is necessary, in addition to longer time of contact with the theme, that diversified methods be used in the learning process. There are several nontraditional teaching resources that can be applied in this case, such as movies, dilemma scenarios, casuistry, stagings, theatre plays, simulations, video conferences, seminars, lectures, workshops and case discussions 1,3,5,[29][30][31][32]34,38,39,41 .…”

Resumo Estudo quantitativo transversal descritivo que tem o objetivo de avaliar a percepção do graduando em medicina sobre a importância do ensino da ética médica e mensurar seu conhecimento sobre a temática em universidade pública do Nordeste brasileiro. Por meio de questionário aplicado a 230 estudantes foi possível avaliar deficiências provocadas pela ausência do ensino formal da ética médica e discutir a necessidade de abordagens diversificadas do tema durante a graduação. Resultados mostram maior taxa de acertos entre graduandos que cursaram ao menos uma disciplina sobre ética médica, mas índice insatisfatório em ambos os grupos. Um terço dos discentes que não tiveram contato com a temática revelaram não se sentir prejudicados por essa lacuna e 25,6% da amostra sequer valorizou a importância do tema em relação a outras disciplinas da graduação. Assim, torna-se necessário rever as estratégias do ensino médico para garantir melhores profissionais no futuro.

“…In "Ethics education in research involving human beings in undergraduate medicine curriculum in Brazil", it states that the teaching of ethics in Brazil began at the end of the 19th century. Brazilians believe that creating an "ethical stance and reflective thinking" could develop professionalism, which is an "ongoing responsibility" (Novaes et al, 2013). An example of ethics at work can be seen in Brazil's medical practices involving human subjects.…”
