BACKGROUND
Many medical students are negatively disposed toward the elderly and chronic sick. The present study assessed the impact of a community-based teaching initiative, the Life History Project, on students' attitudes to these groups.
METHODS
A questionnaire including Likert based responses and free text comments was distributed to all first-year MBChB students after completion of their Life History coursework. Data was analysed using SPSS and content analysis.
RESULTS
A high proportion of students believed the Life History Project had increased their understanding of both psychological and social aspects of health and illness and the role of the humanistic social sciences within this. We discovered that the Life History Project not only gave students first-hand experience of the elderly and chronic sick but also had a positive effect on their attitudes towards these groups. The qualitative free text comments corroborated these views.
CONCLUSIONS
It is possible to positively influence medical students' attitudes towards these stigmatised groups; it is therefore important that we continue to enhance opportunities for learning about the impact of chronic illness on individuals and society throughout the curriculum.
背景
许多医学生对老年人和慢性病患者持负面态度。本研究评估了基于社区的教学计划——生命史项目对学生对这些群体态度的影响。
方法
在完成生命史课程后，向所有一年级 MBChB 学生分发了一份包括李克特量表回答和自由文本评论的问卷。使用 SPSS 和内容分析对数据进行分析。
结果
相当一部分学生认为生命史项目增加了他们对健康和疾病的心理和社会方面以及人文社会科学在这方面的作用的理解。我们发现，生命史项目不仅让学生亲身体验了老年人和慢性病患者，而且对他们对这些群体的态度也产生了积极的影响。定性的自由文本评论证实了这些观点。
结论
有可能对医学生对这些受污名化群体的态度产生积极影响；因此，我们必须继续在整个课程中加强学习慢性病对个人和社会影响的机会。
