在缅甸，关于剽窃盛行程度及其成因的信息有限。我们的目的是探索知识，态度，并在缅甸的大学研究生自我报告的剽窃行为，并确定与剽窃相关的因素。我们在2019-2020年进行了一项横断面问卷调查。问卷内容包括：1）人口统计学，2）对剽窃的知识，3）对剽窃的态度，和4）自我报告的剽窃行为。我们计算了态度和剽窃严重程度分数（PSS）。我们进行了多元线性回归分析和二元逻辑回归分析。p值<0.05表示统计学显著性。我们招募了217名参与者。在我们的参与者中，37.6%的人自我报告至少有一次剽窃行为。平均态度评分（S.D.）为62.24（10.44），（最高分为92，分数越高表示不赞成剽窃）。这个态度分数只反映了对不赞成剽窃的温和态度。博士生（9.2%）的态度得分显著高于硕士生（90.8%）; p = 0.003;有出版物的参与者（13.4%）与没有出版物的参与者（86.6%）相比; p = 0.005。态度得分是PSS的显著预测因子。我们的结论是，有证据表明，剽窃是一个重大的道德问题，在缅甸，并建议缅甸大学提供培训，在负责任的研究行为。
Information regarding the prevalence of plagiarism and its contributing factors are limited in Myanmar. We aimed to explore the knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported plagiarism practices of postgraduate students in Myanmar’s universities and determine the factors associated with plagiarism. We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire study during 2019–2020. The questionnaire contained: 1) demographics, 2) knowledge on plagiarism, 3) attitudes toward plagiarism, and 4) self-reported plagiarism practices. We calculated attitudes and plagiarism severity scores (PSS). We conducted multiple linear regression analyses and binary logistic regression analyses. A p-value <0.05 denoted statistical significance. We enrolled 217 participants. Of our participants, 37.6% self-reported at least one plagiarism act. The mean attitude score (S.D.) was 62.24 (10.44), (maximum score was 92, higher scores represent disapproval of plagiarism). This attitude score reflects only a moderate attitude toward disapproval of plagiarism. The attitude score was significantly higher for doctoral students (9.2%) than master students (90.8%); p = 0.003; and for participants with publications (13.4%) compared with those without publications (86.6%); p = 0.005. The attitude score was a significant predictor of the PSS. We conclude that there is evidence to suggest that plagiarism represents a significant ethical issue in Myanmar and recommend that Myanmar universities provide training in responsible conduct of research.
