■无法吸引医学毕业生专攻精神病学一直是精神病学培训计划的严峻挑战。因此,这项研究的目的是评估医学生对精神病学的态度。
■对Jimma大学的122名四年级医学生进行了比较横断面调查。医学生对精神病学的态度是通过对精神病学的态度-30(ATP-30)来衡量的。收集的数据通过SPSS版本-20使用独立样本t检验加双变量和多变量逻辑回归进行分析。在95%置信区间确定显著性水平。
■未进行精神病学临床轮换的医学生的ATP-30平均得分为55.52(±15.2),表明对精神病学的积极态度比完成精神病学临床轮换的学生高(平均值=49.75±10.67)。女医学生对精神病学的积极态度明显高于男性(OR=9.23,95%CI:2.32;36.76)。未进行精神病学临床轮换的医学生对精神病学的态度比完成精神病学临床轮换的学生更积极(OR=7.58,95%CI:2.02;28.37)。精神疾病的主观经验和报告的精神疾病家族史可显着预测对精神病学的积极态度。
■研究结果表明,进行精神病学轮换可能会影响医学生对精神病学的态度。未来的研究应评估影响医学生态度的精神病学培训过程中的经验因素。此外,未来的研究需要评估四年级医学生在精神病学临床轮换前后的态度。
UNASSIGNED: The inability to attract medical graduates to specialize in psychiatry has always been a serious challenge to psychiatry training programs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the attitude of medical students towards psychiatry.
UNASSIGNED: A comparative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 122 fourth year medical students of Jimma University. The attitude of medical students towards psychiatry was measured by Attitude toward Psychiatry - 30 (ATP-30). The collected Data were analyzed by SPSS version-20 using independent samples t-test plus bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. The level of significance was determined at 95% confidence interval.
UNASSIGNED: Medical students who did not take psychiatry clinical rotation had a higher ATP-30 mean score 55.52(±15.2) indicating positive attitude towards psychiatry than those who completed psychiatry clinical rotation (mean= 49.75 ±10.67). Female medical students had significantly more positive attitude towards psychiatry than males (OR=9.23, 95% CI: 2.32; 36.76). Medical students who did not take psychiatry clinical rotation had more positive attitude towards psychiatry than students who completed the psychiatry clinical rotation (OR=7.58, 95% CI: 2.02; 28.37). Subjective experience of mental illness and reported family history of mental illness significantly predicted positive attitude toward psychiatry.
UNASSIGNED: The findings suggest that doing psychiatry rotation might have affected the attitude of medical students towards psychiatry. Future research should assess the experiential factors during psychiatry training of medical students that affect their attitudes. Also, future research needs to evaluate the attitudes of fourth year medical students before and after their psychiatry clinical rotation.
