Abstract
RANCICH, Ana María; DONATO, Martín and GELPI, Ricardo Jorge. THE STUDENT-TEACHER RELATIONSHIP: PERCEPTION OF MORALLY WRONG INCIDENTS. pers.bioét. [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.2, pp.319-329. ISSN 2027-5382. https://doi.org/10.5294/PEBI.2015.19.2.10.
Introduction: The teacher-student relationship in medicine determines the bond established with the patient. Objective: This study was designed to compare if first and third year medical students at a university perceived incidents perpetrated by teachers as morally wrong. Materials and methods: A semi-structured survey was used with open and closed items; specifically, participants were asked to relate a morally wrong incident, classified to six categories. Results: 80.7% in the third-year students and 30.4% of the first-year students perceived incidents that involved mostly auxiliary personnel and evaluations. Verbal abuse and unfair assessment were the categories mentioned the most. Discussion: A morally wrong incident is a general concept, differing from other studies that specifically analyze abuse, also evident in this concept. Conclusion: A lack of respect and justice could indicate a lack of moral commitment.
