A study of scientific research performance among professional postgraduate students in clinical medicine: current status and influencing factors
To investigate the current status and influencing factors of scientific research performance among professional postgraduate students in clinical medicine (hereafter referred to as "clinical master students") in affiliated hospitals of universities in Shanghai
and to provide empirical evidence for integrating standardized residency training with research capacity cultivation.
Methods
2
A two-stage sampling design was used in the study. A total of 244 clinical master students from the 2022-2024 cohorts in five affiliated hospitals of universities in Shanghai were surveyed in October 2024. Scientific research performance was assessed using the research self-efficacy scale (RSES). Basic information
individual characteristics
mentor guidance
and research environment related information were collected. Statistical analyses were performed using R software
including descriptive statistics
non-parametric tests
LASSO regression
and stepwise regression.
Results
2
The overall research performance of clinical master students was at a moderate level
with a median score of 5.63 (4.25
6.63). Significant differences in scientific research performance were observed across grades (
P
<
0.001). Students enrolled in 2022 demonstrated the highest overall performance [6.25 (5.00
7.25)
]
followed by those enrolled in 2023 [5.88 (4.81
6.50)
]
while those enrolled in 2024 had the lowest score [5.00 (3.50
6.00)
]
. In addition
significant differences were identified among the dimensions of research performance (
P
<
0.001). Research practice and research design showed higher performance [6.00 (5.00
