Investigation and analysis of medical education rituals and its prospects / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the attitudes and demands of medical students on medical education rituals in the context of the new era, to find out the existing problems, and to provide reference to the innovation and improvement of the rituals.Methods:An online questionnaire was conducted among medical students. SPSS 25.0 was used for descriptive statistical analysis and rank sum test of the data. Qualitative research methods such as in-depth interviews and panel discussions were used to comprehensively analyze the qualitative data.Results:"Post-00s" medical students, who are known as the aborigines of the Internet, are also looking forward to the return of traditional medical education rituals. Compared with junior students, senior students had lower awareness of the importance of rituals and lower willingness to participate in rituals, and the degree of professional identity arousal by the rituals was also lower ( P<0.05). Certain medical students indicated that they had never participated in medical education rituals, and some indicated that their specialties were not valued in the rituals. Conclusion:Medical education in the new era should revive traditional rituals and be adjusted to the changes in the background of the times and the characteristics of the student groups. The current ritual education fails to meet the needs of medical students at different stages, and its systematicness and continuity should be strengthened. The coverage of medical education rituals for medical students is incomprehensive and uneven, and it is necessary to further expand the coverage and appropriateness of rituals in medical-related specialties and fully consider the characteristics of each specialty in medical students.
