An investigation and study on trainees of standardized residents' training programe in field of scientific research attitude and behavior

Abstract

Objective To investigate the current situation of the scientific research attitude and behavior of residents who are receiving standardized training, and providing reference for training clinicians with both standardized clinical ability and scientific research literacy. Methods Forty-seven residents receiving standardized training at departments of internal medicine of Peking University Third Hospital were investigated in December 2018, the scientific research questionnaires were distributed to analyze their scientific research attitude and behavior. Results There were 53.2% (25/47) of the residents are or willing to carry out scientific research. There were 38.3% (18/47) of the resident's scientific knowledge mainly comes from self-learning, the average time of reading medical literature in one week was 80.9% (38/47)for residents within 3 hours. 29.8% (14/47) and 21.3% (10/47) think that statistical analysis and research direction choice is the main weakness. Up to 12.8% (6/47) of the residents cannot raise scientific questions on clinical work, 10.6% (5/47) cannot organize and analyze literature, 25.5% (12/47) cannot choose the appropriate research methods to solve clinical questions and 19.1% (9/47) never write research papers independently. Conclusions The residents' scientific research attitude is not positive enough, the learning and practice in arising scientific questions, analyzing literature, solving questions and writing papers are insufficient. University-affiliated hospitals should actively explore the development of scientific research capacity training systems that conform to the characteristics of hospitals and the individual developement of residents.
