In this study, the metaphoric
perceptions of the students studying in medical faculties regarding the concept
of ethics were determined. In the study, which used a phenomenology research
design, the metaphor form , which is
both printed and online format, containing the expression “Ethics is like …,
because …” was used as a data collection
tool. A total of 1040 medical faculty students from 29 different medical
faculties participated in the study and 907 of these forms were evaluated. The
study was conducted with 514 (56.67%) female and 393 (43.33%) male medical
students. The data obtained were analyzed by content analysis technique. It was
determined that medical students formed 375 different metaphors regarding the
concept of ethics and the metaphors of moral, conscience, water, constitution,
life, human, mirror and scales were used the most. It was seen that the
metaphors formed by the medical students were gathered under 8 different
conceptual categories as the source of life, the social order provider,
changing-developing, complementary-supporting, the benefit provider, the
conflict between theory and practice, the ethics related to values and negative
aspects of ethics.
