摘要

Abstract Background Health professions education research (HPE‐R) must be ethically sound. Ethical review decisions and other ethical considerations should be clearly reported in journal articles to allow readers to assess the ethical soundness of the research. We explored and evaluated how ethical review decisions and ethical considerations for HPE‐R are reported in health professions education (HPE) journal articles. Methods We identified a 1‐year sample, for 2020, of eight HPE journals. We systematically assessed the reporting of ethical review and key ethical considerations in the articles in the sample. Results The search yielded 2004 articles, of which 955 articles (47.7%) were eligible and were thus assessed. Most (83.4%) of the assessed articles mentioned a review by an ethical review board (ERB). In the category ‘research articles’, 92% articles reported the outcome of the ethical review. In the category ‘other articles’ (e.g. educational case reports), reporting of ethical processes was less common (32%). Overall, the reporting of key ethical considerations was limited, although these considerations were more reported in ‘research articles’ compared with ‘other articles’. Conclusions ERB assessments and HPE‐R approval was reported in most research articles. This finding is an improvement compared with previous evaluations of ethical research practice in HPE‐R. All studies, particularly those that are exempted or not fully reviewed, should describe their key ethical considerations clearly to enable the HPE community to assess the ethical soundness. Our review revealed that the reporting of ethical considerations was limited and deserves attention from the research community.
