摘要

Ethical awareness is fundamental to maintaining integrity in medical research. In the current study, we assess the knowledge of Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) ethical guidelines among nursing professionals and examine the association between their demographic characteristics and knowledge levels. Participants (N = 150) completed a structured questionnaire comprising demographic items and a knowledge assessment based on ICMR guidelines. The results showed that approximately 45.0% of participants demonstrated good knowledge of ethical guidelines. Although educational attainment initially appeared to be associated with higher knowledge scores (p = 0.044), this effect did not remain significant after Bonferroni correction for multiple testing (adjusted α = 0.006). No other demographic variables were significantly associated with knowledge. These findings suggest that while a portion of nursing professionals possess adequate ethical awareness, broader and more structured educational efforts are needed to strengthen knowledge and ensure consistent adherence to research ethics in clinical practice.
