With opportunities for dissection and examination of sick patients decreasing, the role of peer physical examination (PPE) is increasing. This study explores students' attitudes towards PPE and the relationship between attitudes and demographics. A total of 129 first-year medical students from the Peninsula Medical School completed the Examining Fellow Students (EFS) questionnaire. At least 97% of students were comfortable participating in PPE of all body parts except breast and inguinal regions. Over 20% of students were unwilling to participate in PPE of the breast and inguinal regions. Students were more comfortable with PPE within gender than across gender. Females were more likely to be uncomfortable with PPE. Further research with larger sample sizes is required to determine whether attitudes are related to age and religious faith.
随着解剖和检查患病患者的机会减少，同伴体格检查（PPE）的作用正在增加。本研究探讨了学生对同伴体格检查的态度以及态度与人口统计学之间的关系。来自半岛医学院的129名一年级医学生完成了“检查同学”（EFS）问卷。至少97%的学生对参与除乳房和腹股沟区域外的所有身体部位的同伴体格检查感到自在。超过20%的学生不愿意参与乳房和腹股沟区域的同伴体格检查。学生在同性别的同伴体格检查中比在不同性别的检查中更自在。女性对同伴体格检查更有可能感到不自在。需要进行更大样本量的进一步研究，以确定态度是否与年龄和宗教信仰有关。
