RESUMEN
In China,the Chinese scientist TU Youyou,winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and her findings of artemisinin discovered during the 1970s triggered a lot of discussion on developing a biomedical research management strategy in the new era.Traditional management has faced many challenges in the era of Big Science.The University of Cambridge has remarkable achievements in biomedical research and set up an effective management system.Based on the introduction and observations from Cambridge,this article proposes strategies for advancing research management in Chinese universities in our own context.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the status of the influence factors of foundational course teachers' academic profession development in medical college.Methods The survey includes academic promotion and academic innovation.In aspect of academic innovation,a total of 68 foundational course teachers in medical college were selected.The subjects were tested by scale of exterior influencing factors on innovative behavior,the assessment scale of innovative behavior and the organizational innovation climate scale,the scientific spirit scale of the scientific and technological talents.The impact of demographic characteristics on academic promotion was also tested.Results In aspect of academic promotion,teachers with different department and education showed statistically significant difference in titles(P＜0.05).The age of teachers' promoted to professor is 40-50 years old,vice professor is 30-40 years old.Generally,it takes 6-10 years to promote to senior titles,and it takes less time for doctors.In aspect of academic innovation,scale was used in 5 points,the lowest 1 point,the highest 5 point.The mean score of the scale of exterior influencing factors on innovative behavior is mission design3.28 ±0.96,innovation investment 2.53±0.74,innovation environment 3.10±0.65.The mean score of the assessment scale of innovative behavior and the organizational innovation climate scale is organization target cognition 3.10 ± 0.74,colleagues relationship 3.44±0.82,team innovation motivation 3.34±0.83.The mean score of the scientific spirit scale of the scientific and technological talents in spiritual science dimension is 3.40±0.67 points.The projects with low scores are distributed in three dimensions of innovation investment,innovation environment and organization target cognition.Conclusions Teachers' academic promotion is related to the department and education.In aspect of academic innovation,teachers' self-evaluation of scientific spirit is higher,the evaluation of the mission design,colleagues relationship,team innovation motivation is also higher,the evaluation of the innovation environment,organization target cognition,innovation investment is lower.Material resources,research cooperation and so on especially should be improved.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of the administrative intervention on smoking cessation of medical personnel and demonstrate the feasibility and the validity of this approach.Methods Two comparable hospitals were selected,one hospital with 136 smoking medical staff members was used as the intervention group;the other hospital which had 127 smoking medical staff members was used as the control group.We applied administrative intervention and health education to the intervention group and health education only to the control group.The intervention time was 10 months,we used the questionnaire survey before and after intervening to evaluate the smoking rate,the intention to quit smoking,the willingmess to accept the help of quitting and the proportion of those who quitted smoking.Results The smoking rate of intervention group (37.4％) was lower than that of control group (77.2％),the difference was statistically significant (x2=40.99,P＜0.01).The proportion of control group smokers in planning(51.1％) is statistically significant as compared with intervention group (46.18％) (x2=46.18,P＜0.01).The proportion of people who were willing to accept the help from families and friends and smoking cessation counseling in intervention group was significanly higher than that in the control group.(x2=10.04,x2=7.73,x2=7.58;P＜ 0.01).But the proportion of accepting the medicine for quitting smoking was not significantly different (x2=0.16,P＞0.05).The proportion of smokers who wanted to quit smoking on their own willingness in control group was significantly higher than that in intervention group (x2=36.27,P＜0.01).After10 months,61 people (46.6％) in the intervention group succeeded in quitting smoking and 13 (10.6％) people in control group succeeded (x2=28.21,P＜0.01).Conclusion Administrative intervention has feasibility and validity when hospitals take activities for smoking cessation.
