To explore the personal attitudes of medical educators to the necropsy.
A "theoretical sample" of individuals, with widely disparate views, was selected from University of Sheffield Medical School affiliated staff. These individuals underwent semi-structured interviews (in private) to elucidate their personal attitudes towards the necropsy (in relation to the possibility of their own necropsy or that of a close relative).
Nine themes pertaining to personal attitudes towards the necropsy were identified. In general medical educators had a positive attitude towards the necropsy.
This study suggests that medical educators still believe that the necropsy is of value in medical education, despite dramatic curricular revisions in the UK, declining necropsy rates, and adverse media attention to the necropsy.
探讨医学教育工作者对尸检的个人态度。
从谢菲尔德大学医学院附属工作人员中选取了一组观点差异很大的“理论样本”个体。这些个体接受了半结构化访谈(私下进行),以阐明他们对尸检的个人态度(涉及他们自己或近亲进行尸检的可能性)。
确定了九个与对尸检的个人态度相关的主题。总体而言,医学教育工作者对尸检持积极态度。
本研究表明,尽管英国课程有重大修订、尸检率下降以及媒体对尸检的负面报道,但医学教育工作者仍然认为尸检在医学教育中有价值。
