Objective To explore the training effect of medical students'participation in academic competitions on scientific research thinking and autonomous learning ability.Methods A total of 30 undergraduates majoring in clinical medicine of Binzhou Medical College who participated in academic competition from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected for investigation,and the effect of cultivating scientific research thinking and independent learning ability was compared between the students before and after the competition.Results 83.33%(25/30)of the students believed that academic competitions were helpful in enhancing the ability of scientific research thinking;63.33%(19/30)of the students thought that academic competitions contribute to improving the ability of independent learning;73.33%(22/30)of the students held that academic competitions were beneficial to enhancing the ability of teamwork;70.00%(21/30)of the students considered that academic competitions were conducive to improving the ability of language expression.After participating in the competitions,the students'independent learning ability was higher than that before participation[(131.07±3.79)points vs.(110.94±3.89)points],and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).In addition,compared with before participation,the students'scores in learning motivation[(41.49±4.11)points vs.(32.41±3.32)points],learning arrangements[(45.21±3.82)points vs.(40.21±3.69)points],and self-regulation[(44.37±3.58)points vs.(38.32±4.56)points]had all increased after participation,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).After participating in the competitions,compared with before participation,the students'scores in the total score[(83.15±3.96)points vs.(32.65±2.82)points],mastering the key points of basic project design[(21.33±2.15)points vs.(10.14±1.82)points],mastering two basic experimental operations[(20.65±1.98)points vs.(6.31±1.22)points],mastering the methods of scientific research literature retrieval[(19.24±1.74)points vs.(8.21±1.07)points],and mastering the process of scientific research reporting[(21.93±2.06)points vs.(7.99±1.15)points]had all increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).Conclusion Medical universities should increase support for undergraduate students to participate in academic competitions,so as to more effectively cultivate talents with independent scientific research ability and comprehensive development of clinical and scientific research.
