Academic integrity in upper year nursing students' work-integrated settings.

Work-integrated learning (WIL) is an educational approach that aims to support students' integration of theory to practice. These rich learning opportunities provide students with real-world experiences and introduce practice and ethical situations that help consolidate and bridge their knowledge and skill. Academic integrity has been defined as the ongoing commitment to values that are consistent with ethical practice: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage (International Centre for Academic Integrity, 2021). It is important to understand what specifically influences students' intentions to behave with integrity in WIL settings. This paper reports on one study that explored predictors to students' intentions to behave with integrity across three different WIL settings in their upper years of studies. The findings and recommendations from the research may help to inform other professional programs that include WIL through their educational offerings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
