Survey on the Research Abilities of Medical School Students
Objective:To investigate the current state of research abilities among medical school students through a questionnaire survey,providing a basis for future training and enhancement of students'research capabilities.Methods:A self-assessment scale for research abilities was used to survey the research capabilities of medical students at a certain medical school.The study further compared differences in research abilities based on gender,major,and research foundation.Results:Male students scored significantly higher than female students in all six research ability categories(P<0.05).Clinical medicine students scored lower than non-clinical medicine students in all six research ability categories,with significant differences in literature review,research design,research practice,data processing,and paper writing abilities(P<0.05).Students with prior research experience scored significantly higher in all six categories compared to those without prior research experience(P<0.05).Conclusion:There are significant differences in research abilities among medical school students based on gender,major,and research background.
