在许多情况下，尤其是在中低收入国家，培训机构并没有为学生在职业生涯中面临的道德挑战做好充分的准备。我们在2015年1月对赞比亚大学医学院（UNZASoM）的教师进行了一项调查，以评估他们在研究伦理方面的培训需求。这项研究得到了赞比亚大学生物医学研究伦理委员会的批准。75名不同级别的教师完成了问卷调查。调查发现，31%的教师没有接受过任何研究伦理培训。在接受过培训的人中，大多数是通过五天或更短的短期讲习班接受培训的（57.4%,n = 31），而只有27.7%的人将道德培训作为学位的组成部分，22.2%的人通过电子网络课程获得道德培训。虽然大多数教师（70.7%）报告说他们准备好了指导学生制定研究方案的研究方法部分，但只有25.3%的人认为他们准备好了指导道德考虑。这项研究表明，联扎索特派团教员在研究伦理培训方面存在差距。建议对教师和学生进行强制性的研究伦理指导。
In many settings, and perhaps especially in low-middle income countries, training institutions do not adequately prepare their students for the ethical challenges that confront them in professional life. We conducted a survey to assess the training needs in research ethics among the faculty at the University of Zambia, School of Medicine (UNZASoM) using a structured questionnaire distributed to faculty members in January 2015. The study was approved by the University of Zambia Biomedical Research Ethics Committee. Seventy-five faculty members of various ranks completed the questionnaire. It was found that 31% of the faculty had not received any research ethics training. Of those who had received training, most of them had received it through short workshops of five days or less (57.4%, n = 31), while only 27.7% received ethics training as a component of an academic degree and 22.2% obtained it through electronic web-based courses. While most faculty (70.7%) reported being well-prepared to guide their students in developing a research methods section of a research protocol, only 25.3% felt they were well-prepared to guide on ethical considerations. This study has demonstrated gaps in research ethics training among faculty members at UNZASoM. Mandatory instruction in research ethics among faculty and students is recommended.
