Turkish Final Year Medical Students' Exposure to and Attitudes Concerning Drug Company Interactions: A Perspective from a Minimally Regulated Environment for Medical Students.

Interactions between drug companies and medical students may affect evidence-based medical practice and patient safety. The aim of this study was to assess drug company–medical student interactions in a medical faculty where limited specific national or institutional regulations apply between drug companies and medical students. The objectives of the study were to determine the exposure and attitudes of final year medical students in terms of drug company–medical student and physician interactions, to identify factors affecting those attitudes and to provide data for policymakers working on the regulation of interactions between drug companies and medical students. This anonymous questionnaire-based study of 154 medical final year medical students at the Karadeniz Technical University Medical Faculty, Trabzon, Turkey, in April and May 2015 attracted a response rate of 92.2% (n/N, 154/164). Exposure to interaction with a pharmaceutical representative was reported by 90.3% (139/154) of students, and 68.8% (106/154) reported experiencing such interaction alongside a resident. In addition, 83.7% (128/153) of students reported an interaction during internship. Furthermore, 69.9% (107/153) of students agreed that interactions influence physicians’ prescription preferences, while 33.1% (51/154) thought that a medical student should never accept a gift from a drug company and 24.7% (38/154) agreed with the proposition that “drug companies should not hold activities in medical faculties”. Students with rational prescription training expressed greater agreement with the statement “I am skeptical concerning the information provided by drug companies during interactions” than those who had not received such training, and this finding was supported by logistic regression [O.R.(C.I), p -3.7(1.2–11.5), p = 0.022]. Acceptance of advertisement brochures was found to significantly reduce the level of agreement with the proposition that “A physician should not accept any gift from a drug company.” (0.3[0.1–0.9], p = 0.030). In summary, exposure to drug companies was widespread among our final year medical students who, like students in both Western and non-Western societies, hold permissive attitudes concerning accepting gifts, and drug advertising brochures may relax those permissive attitudes still further. Rational prescription training was useful in generating rational attitudes. Policies concerning drug company–medical student relationships should be developed in Turkey as well as internationally.

The offer of a gift from a patient may be more complicated than a simple expression of gratitude. MarikaDavies explores the ethical issues behind accepting gifts from patients

Ethical Concerns and Career Satisfaction in Obstetrics and Gynecology: A Review of Recent Findings From the Collaborative Ambulatory Research Network

Obstetricians-gynecologists (ob-gyns) are frequently confronted with situations that have ethical implications (e.g., whether to accept gifts or samples from drug companies or disclosing medical errors to patients). Additionally, various factors, including specific job-related tasks, costs, and benefits, may impact ob-gyns' career satisfaction. Ethical concerns and career satisfaction can play a role in the quality of women's health care. This article summarizes the studies published between 2005 and 2009 by the Research Department of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which encompass ethical concerns regarding interactions with pharmaceutical representatives and patient safety/medical error reporting, as well as ob-gyn career satisfaction. Additionally, a brief discussion regarding ethical concerns in the ob-gyn field, in general, highlights key topics for the last 30 years. Ethical dilemmas continue to be of concern for ob-gyns. Familiarity with guidelines on appropriate interactions with industry is associated with lower percentages of potentially problematic relationships with pharmaceutical industries. Physicians report that the expense of patient safety initiatives is one of the top barriers for improving patient safety, followed by fear of liability. Overall, respondents reported being satisfied with their careers. However, half of the respondents reported that they were extremely concerned about the impact of professional liability costs on the duration of their careers. Increased familiarity with guidelines may lead to a decreased ob-gyn reliance on pharmaceutical representatives and free samples, whereas specific and practical tools may help them implement patient safety techniques. The easing of malpractice insurance and threat of litigation may enhance career satisfaction among ob-gyns. This article will discuss related findings in recent years. Obstetricians & Gynecologists and Family Physicians. After the completing the CME activity, physicians should be better able to analyze how interactions with pharmaceutical industry may pose ethical dilemmas, examine current barriers to implementing patient safety initiatives, and evaluate the factors that influence career satisfaction among obstetrician-gynecologists.

Is Money an Acceptable Gift in Cyprus?

Is Money an Acceptable Gift in Cyprus?

The unacceptability of money as a gift

In four studies, subjects were asked whether money was an acceptable gift. In the first study, students stated that they would find it less acceptable to give their mothers a cheque than a gift token or a selected present; and that if they had to send a cheque they would spend more than twice as much on it as on the other sorts of gift. The second study confirmed these results on a larger, non-student sample of young adults, and also showed that it made no difference whether a cheque or cash was specified. In the third study, students were asked about the reasons why they would find it unacceptable to give or receive a cheque as a present. The most important reasons focused on the time and effort that ought to be spent on selecting a present, and the possibility that money sent as a gift might be used for mundane purchases. In the final study, mothers of students were asked about the kinds of presents they would find it acceptable to receive: they indicated that a cheque would be less acceptable than a selected present of a gift token, but they did not expect more to be spent on a cheque than on other gifts. Taken together, these results strongly confirm casual impressions that money is unacceptable as a gift in some contexts, implying both that the element of social exchange is crucially important in gift-giving, and that even in modern societies money is not a universally acceptable medium of exchange.

Recent Literature on Mosses

C. C. CUNNINGHAM. Forest Flora of Canada. Flore Forestidre du Canada. Dept. of Northern Affairs (Canada), Forestry Branch, Bull. 121. x + 144 pp. 349 photographs. 1959. (Price: $1.50, cardboard).-This booklet is intended as a picture guide for the use of foresters in identification. It would make an acceptable gift to children, because of its simplified approach to taxonomy, and would be useful to amateur naturalists who have the patience to. leaf through the book until they find an illustration suggestive of the plant at hand. Professional botanists visiting Canadian forests would no doubt find it much easier to use standard manuals with keys and descriptions and with the added grace of greater completeness. The black-andwhite photographs depict three lichens, three liverworts, 23 mosses, 30 pteridophytes, and 290 seed plants, all taken from dried specimens, but most of them are attractive and surprisingly effective. Lists of poisonous and edible plants and a bibliography for further reference are also presented-H. CRUM.

The Thames

IN noticing the first three volumes to be published in this series, the opportunity was taken to praise the beauty of the illustrations and the interest of the text. The present additions are quite up to the standard set in the earlier books. Though evidently not intended to serve any serious educational purpose, the volumes will form very acceptable gift books, and will soon become popular in this capacity.

Catalogue of the Batrachia, Salientia and Ecaudata in the Collection of the British Museum

This volume is a proof of the steady though rapid progress which our great Natural History Collection is making, and is a token as well that under the present keeper of the Zoological Department, the stores of specimens will be made fully available for scientific reference. To the working zoologist there can be no more acceptable gift than such carefully compiled catalogues, and by the publication of such the collection itself not only indirectly but even directly benefits, for an interest is awakened in the objects described, and thereby the stream of donations begins to flow. The first edition of this Catalogue, published in 1858, contained the description of some 283 species, and the collection consisted of some 1691 specimens. The present edition contains the description of 800 species, of which the British Museum possesses 522, represented by some 4692 specimens. The first edition, by Dr. Günther, without doubt gave a great impulse to the study of the tailless Batrachians, and as a result it is now out of date. For the present edition Dr. Günther has been fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Boulenger, the assistant naturalist in the Royal Museum of Belgium, and exceedingly well has the latter accomplished his task. The classification adopted is based on that of Mr. E. D. Cope, somewhat modified, and biologists in general will be pleased to know that this classification seems to harmonise not only with the natural affinities of the genera, but with all that is known of the geographical distribution, development, and physiology of the group. The only serious objection urged against it is the supposed difficulty of ascertaining on the recent specimens the osteological characters, without sacrificing one or more specimens; but, as Mr. Boulenger asserts, it requires only a moderate skill and two or three clean incisions to reveal all the required secrets of the structure of the vertebræ.
