摘要

医学教育工作者应了解医学生群体的差异,包括性别差异。有关性别对学习和技能掌握影响的研究得出了相互矛盾的结果,尤其是在本科医学生的解剖学习方面。虽然对各种解剖课程设置进行了评估,但性别差异在很大程度上被忽视了。本研究考察了解剖学教育中几个方面的性别差异。首先,评估了医科本科生识别解剖结构的能力,以确定学习收获方面的性别差异。其次,比较了为期 3 个月和为期 1 个月的区域解剖课程的学习成果,并关注了性别差异。第三,在 6 个月和 12 个月的随访中对知识保留情况进行了评估。最后,评估了学生对解剖学学习中不同防腐方法的看法,重点关注性别问题。在学习收获方面,不同地区的性别之间存在细微差别。无论性别如何,3 个月课程的得分均高于 1 个月课程的得分,尤其是颈部、胸部和腹部。在 6 个月和 12 个月的随访中,腹部解剖学的知识增长明显:女性得分提高了 56%,男性得分提高了 68%。泰尔防腐法与乙醇防腐法的比较显示,在组织柔韧性和组织对实现学习目标的效用方面存在性别差异。总之,在大体解剖学课程中,女生和男生在认知和学习成果方面似乎存在微妙的差异。这些发现将有助于为医学本科生开发新的课程,同时考虑到区域解剖课程中的性别差异。

Does gender influence learning, perceptions and retention in regional anatomy dissection courses?

Medical educators should understand the differences within the medical student population, including gender. Research on gender effects on learning and skill acquisition has yielded contradictory results, particularly in anatomy learning among undergraduate medical students. While various dissection course settings have been evaluated, gender-specific differences have largely been overlooked. This study examined gender differences in several aspects of anatomy education. First, the ability of undergraduate medical students to identify anatomical structures was assessed to determine gender differences in learning gains. Second, learning outcomes were compared between a 3-month and a 1-month regional anatomy course, with attention to gender. Third, knowledge retention was evaluated at 6- and 12-month follow-ups. Finally, student perceptions of different embalming methods for anatomy learning were assessed with a focus on gender. Minor differences were observed between genders across different regions in learning gains. Scores from the 3-month course were higher than those from the 1-month course, regardless of gender, particularly for the neck, thorax, and abdomen. A significant knowledge gain was noted in abdominal anatomy at the 6- and 12-month follow-up: scores improved by 56% in females and by 68% in males. The comparison of Thiel- versus ethanol-based embalming revealed gender differences regarding tissue pliability and the utility of tissues for achieving learning objectives. In conclusion, subtle differences appear to exist between female and male students in terms of perceptions and learning outcomes in gross anatomy dissection courses. These findings will be useful in developing new curricula for undergraduate medical students, taking into account gender differences in the context of regional anatomy dissection courses.

期刊介绍: The official English journal of the Japanese Association of Anatomists, Anatomical Science International (formerly titled Kaibogaku Zasshi) publishes original research articles dealing with morphological sciences. Coverage in the journal includes molecular, cellular, histological and gross anatomical studies on humans and on normal and experimental animals, as well as functional morphological, biochemical, physiological and behavioral studies if they include morphological analysis.
