Study on the self-evaluation of medical professionalism among clinical medicine master's degree students
To systematically assess the overall current situation of self-evaluation of medical professionalism among clinical medicine professional master's students in China and explore the evaluation characteristics under different regions and key demographic features
so as to provide empirical references for differentiated medical education.
Methods
2
From the autumn of 2024 to the spring of 2025
an online questionnaire survey on self-evaluation on medical professionalism was conducted among clinical professional master's students from 12 hospitals (5 in the east
4 in the central
and 3 in the west). SPSS 26.0 was used for data analysis. Statistical methods including descriptive statistics
independent samples
t
-test
one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation analysis were used.
Results
2
A total of 2 844 valid questionnaires were collected
including 1 099 males and 1 745 females
with an average age of (24.59±1.59) years. The scores of the eight dimensions of the self-evaluation questionnaire on medical professionalism from high to low were humanistic qualities (4.11±0.78)
patient-centered care (4.09±0.78)
professional ethics (4.07±0.78)
dedication (4.06±0.79)
interprofessional colla
boration (4.03±0.81)
professional identity formation (4.01±0.80)
systems-based practice (4.00±0.82)
and self-directed learning and help-seeking (3.96±0.82). The analysis of the total score of medical professionalism revealed that the influencing factors included gender and age (
P
<
0.05). A comparison among the eastern
central
and western regions revealed that the scores in the western region were the lowest [(3.99±0.72) vs. (4.06±0.72) vs. (4.06±0.78)
]
but the difference was not statistically significant.
Conclusions
2
The overall performance on medical professionalism among clinical professional master's students in the eastern
central
and western regions of China is good
but the cultivation of systems-based practice and self-directed learning and help-seeking needs to be strengthened.
