Objective:To develop a professional grief scale for medical postgraduate students(PGS-MPS) and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the integrated model of professional grief, the initial item pool was formed after literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, group discussion, and 5 experts were invited to assess the relevance of the items and provided revision suggestion.A total of 506 valid questionnaires were collected.SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 26.0 were used to test its reliability and validity.Results:The PGS-MPS included 41 items, including the professional grief reaction subscale and disenfranchised grief subscale.The professional grief reaction subscale included emotional reaction (14 items), physiological and cognitive reaction (20 items), and the cumulative variance contribution rate of the two factors model was 52.908%.Disenfranchised grief subscale included 7 items, with a single dimension and a variance contribution rate of 51.730%.Confirmatory factor analysis indicated the model fitting well.The Cronbach’s α coefficients for the professional grief reaction subscale and disenfranchised grief subscale were 0.947 and 0.850, respectively.Conclusion:The PGS-MPS has good reliability and validity and can be used to evaluate professional grief of medical postgraduate students.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the quality issues in medical reviews written by medical postgraduate students, and to provide a reference for improving the quality of medical reviews written by such students.Methods:A total of 141 medical reviews written by the medical postgraduate students from various affiliated hospitals of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from 2018 to 2022 were collected, and the quality of these medical reviews was evaluated in terms of topic selection and writing expression skills. As for topic selection, a self-designed innovative questionnaire (hereinafter referred to as topic questionnaire) was used to collect the evaluation of external experts, and as for writing expression, the reviews were assessed based on the criteria in relevant literature from the aspects of the outline of the review, the timeliness of references, analysis and evaluation, and the quality of the text. EPIDATA 3.2 was used to input data, and SPSS 20.0 was used for the chi-square test.Results:A total of 135 (96%, 135/141) valid questionnaires were collected in this study, and the results showed that 70% (94/135) of the review topics lacked novelty. The assessment of writing skills showed that 95% (128/135) of the reviews had outdated references, and 68% (92/135) lacked focus, hierarchy or logic in outline, which accounted for a higher proportion than the reviews with analysis and evaluation issues (59%, 80/135) and text quality issues (61%, 83/135) ( P<0.05). Conclusion:There are many quality issues in the medical reviews written by medical postgraduate students, such as a lack of novelty in topic selection and low overall quality of outlines. In order to improve the abilities of scientific research among medical postgraduate students, universities and supervisors should strengthen the guidance of innovative thinking in topic selection and enhance the training of writing expression skills, such as scientific analysis and logic.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To assess the reliability, constructive validity and item characteristics of the general self-efficacy scale (GSES) among Chinese medical postgraduates using classical test theory and item response theory.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 021 medical postgraduates from 6 comprehensive level Ⅲ A hospitals in Beijing. Demographic characteristics and general self-efficacy were investigated. SPSS 24.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Internal consistency of the GSES was evaluated using Cronbach’s α coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient. Factor analyses were implemented to test the structure of the scale. An item response theory (IRT) framework with a graded response model was performed to estimate the parameters of each item. Results:The overall Cronbach’s α coefficient of the GSES was 0.92. Parallel analysis and confirmatory factor analysis supported the unidimensional structure of the GSES. The discrimination parameter of the 10 items ranged from 1.82 to 3.65, and the difficulty parameter ranged from -3.51 to 1.66, with a monotonically increasing trend. The maximum test information of the scale among medical postgraduates was 19.16. Conclusion:The GSES has good reliability, validity and measurement precision, showing a good applicability in the survey of medical postgraduates. However, the difficulty of specific items is relatively low, and the scale may be further optimized and improved.

Adapting to the trend of knowledge developing from differentiation to integration, new medical science comes up to meet the realistic need of "Healthy China" and the social demand for cross-integration medical talents. The essence of the transformation of talent training model under new medical background is based on the inheritance and innovation of training concept, training path and training Objective s. Medical postgraduate education which cultivates high-quality medical talents ought to follow the trend. Therefore, we should rethink the talent training and implementation path of medical postgraduate students from the aspects of innovating training concept, optimizing training mode, and renewing evaluation standards so as to provide beneficial references for training outstanding innovative talents with international vision, innovative spirit and cross-integration thinking in accordance with the development of medical science in new era.
ABSTRACT
Most medical postgraduates desire to develop their research mentality and experiment skills and become capable medical students with potentialities and innovation consciousness.Medical postgraduates can be classified into academic, general, and clinical types based on their needs, education background, experiences and personal abilities, while their supervisors fall into high-, medium-, and low-expectation types according to their research abilities and demands.Cross-pairing analysis shows that a high-level cooperation can be achieved when the type of a postgraduate matches that of his supervisor, otherwise a low-level cooperation may result.Therefore, it is essential to optimize the two-way choice system between postgraduates and supervisors, establish a moral code for supervisors and academic standards for postgraduates, and further enhance their interaction.A new relationship should be formed between medical postgraduates and supervisors, which is postgraduate-centered, emphatic on conversation, discussion, equality, and mutual trust and respect, and capable of promoting the harmonious development of academic activities.

ABSTRACT
Introducción: La competencia de los pediatras para el soporte vital de niños con discapacidades múltiples podría mejorar con nuevas estrategias educativas. Se evaluó, desde el punto de vista de los pediatras en formación, la incorporación de una rotación orientada al soporte vital de niños con discapacidades múltiples a dos programas de posgrado en pediatría. Métodos: Se diseñaron dos encuestas: una "diagnóstica" para explorar las necesidades de aprendizaje de los pediatras en formación sobre este tema y otra para evaluar la competencia percibida "prerrotación y posrotación" en seis aspectos seleccionados, junto con el grado de satisfacción con la rotación. Resultados: El 92% (n = 32) de los pediatras en formación respondieron la encuesta "diagnóstica": todos refirieron haber atendido niños con discapacidad, el 90,6% identificó la temática como relevante y el 87,5% consideró que debería ser parte del currículo. De los 35 pediatras en formación encuestados, 17 realizaron la rotación en el período estudiado. Todos (n = 17) los estudiantes que completaron la rotación respondieron la encuesta "prerrotación y posrotación": el 100% manifestó que esta era su primera experiencia de aprendizaje en el área, el 76,5% afirmó leer por primera vez sobre la temática y el 94,1% consideró confortable el ambiente de aprendizaje. Los puntajes utilizados para evaluar las competencias percibidas en las variables seleccionadas mejoraron significativamente luego de la rotación, salvo para las habilidades de comunicación. Los términos más frecuentemente utilizados por los encuestados para resumir los desafíos encontrados fueron "comunicación" y "familia". Conclusiones: Se han detectado necesidades de aprendizaje entre los pediatras en formación para el soporte vital de niños con discapacidades múltiples. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que una rotación focalizada en la atención de niños con discapacidades múltiples podría mejorar estas competencias.(AU)
