METHODS: Between the academic years 2021 and 2023, all of the fourth-year undergraduates were surveyed by questionnaires, which covered their pre-curriculum, post-curriculum in-school, and post-on-site view of IR surgeries in clinic. The survey included categories of gender, fear of X-ray and IR operation, interest in IR surgery, and career-pursuing intention.
RESULTS: A total of 333 (91.0%) respondents (111 students for three times) were included in analyses. The fear of X-ray and radiation exposure during IR procedures was reduced after taking school courses (p < 0.001), and it was further decreased after on-site viewing (p < 0.001). The association values among the three groups were 33.8% and 41.9%, respectively. The interest in IR was improved both after applying for the curriculum and after clinical exposure to IR surgery (p < 0.001). In addition, 4 (3.6%) and 12 (10.8%) students showed a sense of achievement after taking courses and on-site viewing, respectively. The association value was 49.4%. Regarding career intention, it was both significantly increased after taking courses and on-site observation (p < 0.001). Besides, 8 (7.2%), 17 (15.3%), and 36 (32.4%) students in the three groups considered IR as the preferred career choice, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Applying for IR curriculum could reduce undergraduates\' radiation anxiety, and activate their professional interest and career pursuing intention. Clinical exposure to IR surgeries further boosted this effect.
CONCLUSIONS: Educational interventions of curriculum and on-site view of IR surgery improve the undergraduates\' interest in IR and stimulate their career intention, which is crucial for the advancement of IR.
CONCLUSIONS: Increasing interest in interventional radiology (IR) as a career is urgent, given rising demand of services. Education and on-site viewing of IR surgery reduced radiation anxiety and increased interest in IR. Early exposure to IR is effective at encouraging undergraduates to consider IR as their career.
方法:在2021年至2023年之间,对所有四年级本科生进行了问卷调查,涵盖了他们的前期课程,后课程在学校,和临床IR手术的现场视图。调查包括性别类别,对X射线和IR操作的恐惧,对IR手术的兴趣,和职业追求的意图。
结果:共有333名(91.0%)受访者(111名学生三次)被纳入分析。在参加学校课程后,对IR程序中X射线和辐射暴露的恐惧减少了(p<0.001),现场观看后进一步下降(p<0.001)。三组间的关联值分别为33.8%和41.9%,分别。在申请课程和临床暴露于IR手术后,对IR的兴趣都得到了改善(p<0.001)。此外,4名(3.6%)和12名(10.8%)学生在参加课程和现场观看后表现出成就感,分别。关联值为49.4%。关于职业意向,在服用课程和现场观察后,该指数均显着增加(p<0.001)。此外,8(7.2%),17(15.3%),三组中的36名(32.4%)学生认为IR是首选职业选择,分别。
结论:申请IR课程可以减少本科生的辐射焦虑,激活他们的职业兴趣和职业追求意图。临床暴露于IR手术进一步增强了这种效果。
结论:课程和IR手术现场视图的教育干预提高了本科生对IR的兴趣并激发了他们的职业意向,这对IR的发展至关重要。
结论:对介入放射学(IR)作为职业的兴趣越来越迫切,随着服务需求的增长。IR手术的教育和现场观看减少了辐射焦虑,并增加了对IR的兴趣。早期接触IR可以有效地鼓励本科生将IR视为自己的职业。
