RESUMO
Objective To investigate the influence of service-learning model on medical graduates' ethical behavioral tendency. Methods A self-designed questionnaire was conducted among 302 medical students who have graduated in the last five years including the basic information, ethical behavioral tendency and participation of service-learning. The acquired data was analyzed and com-pared using chi-square test and unconditional logistic multiple regression. Results 68.2%(206/302) undergraduates participated in service-learning. Undergraduates participated in service-learning be-haved more ethical than those did not participated when facing the situation of patient' vomits (P=0.037). There were statistical differences in taking bribes from patients between those participated in service-learning and those did not (P=0.031). According to the results of unconditional logistic multiple regression analysis, whether participating in the service-learning is one of significant factors influenc-ing undergraduates' attitude towards bride-taking. Conclusions Medical students educated by service-learning model will exhibited more ethically accepted medical behaviors after becoming doctors. Ser-vice-learning model, a new medical education model, is worth promoting.
