Television medical dramas frequently depict the practice of medicine and bioethical issues in a strikingly realistic but sometimes inaccurate fashion. Because these shows depict medicine so vividly and are so relevant to the career interests of medical and nursing students, they may affect these students' beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions regarding the practice of medicine and bioethical issues. We conducted a web-based survey of medical and nursing students to determine the medical drama viewing habits and impressions of bioethical issues depicted in them. More than 80% of medical and nursing students watch television medical dramas. Students with more clinical experience tended to have impressions that were more negative than those of students without clinical experience. Furthermore, viewing of television medical dramas is a social event and many students discuss the bioethical issues they observe with friends and family. Television medical dramas may stimulate students to think about and discuss bioethical issues.
电视医疗剧常常以惊人的写实手法展现医疗实践和生物伦理问题,但有时也存在不准确之处。由于这些剧集对医疗的描绘非常生动,且与医学和护理专业学生的职业兴趣密切相关,它们可能会影响这些学生对医疗实践和生物伦理问题的信念、态度和认知。我们对医学和护理专业学生进行了一项基于网络的调查,以确定他们观看医疗剧的习惯以及对剧中所描绘的生物伦理问题的印象。超过80%的医学和护理专业学生观看电视医疗剧。临床经验更丰富的学生往往比没有临床经验的学生有更负面的印象。此外,观看电视医疗剧是一种社交活动,许多学生会与朋友和家人讨论他们在剧中观察到的生物伦理问题。电视医疗剧可能会促使学生思考和讨论生物伦理问题。
