摘要

Academic dishonesty is a significant ethical issue in educational settings, particularly among nursing students, as it can impact professional integrity and patient care. Self-esteem has been identified as a potential factor influencing students' ethical behaviors. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between academic dishonesty and self-esteem among undergraduate nursing students at Kermanshah Nursing School. A cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted among 450 nursing students at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2024. Data were collected using the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI) and the Academic Dishonesty Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, independent t-tests, ANOVA, and linear regression analysis were performed using SPSS version 26, with a significance level of p < 0.05. The mean academic dishonesty score was 44.14 ± 14.68, and the mean self-esteem score was 37.13 ± 8.12. Male students had significantly higher academic dishonesty scores (p < 0.001), while female students exhibited higher self-esteem scores (p = 0.007). An inverse and significant correlation was found between academic dishonesty and self-esteem (r = -0.350, p < 0.001). Additionally, self-esteem explained 12% of the variance in academic dishonesty (F = 62.40, p < 0.001). The findings indicate that higher self-esteem is associated with lower academic dishonesty among nursing students. Educational interventions aimed at enhancing self-esteem may help reduce unethical behaviors in academic settings, ultimately contributing to the ethical development of future healthcare professionals.
