This exploratory qualitative study investigated how doctoral students reported their personal and professional interaction experiences that they believed might facilitate or impede their academic pursuits in biomedical research. We collected 19 in-depth interviews with doctoral students in biomedical research from eight universities, and we based our qualitative analytic approach on the work of Miles and Huberman. The results indicated that among different sources and types of interaction, academic and emotional interactions from family and teachers in various stages essentially affected students' persistence in the biomedical science field. In addition, co-mentorship among peers, departmental environment, and volunteer experiences were other essential factors. This study also found related experiences among women and underrepresented minority students that were important to their academic pursuit.
这项探索性定性研究调查了博士生如何汇报他们认为可能促进或阻碍其生物医学研究学术追求的个人及专业互动经历。我们对来自八所大学的生物医学研究博士生进行了19次深度访谈,并将定性分析方法基于迈尔斯和休伯曼的研究成果。结果表明,在不同来源和类型的互动中,家庭和教师在各个阶段的学术及情感互动在本质上影响了学生在生物医学科学领域的坚持。此外,同伴间的共同指导、系里的环境以及志愿者经历也是其他重要因素。本研究还发现了对女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生的学术追求至关重要的相关经历。
