Gaining sufficient knowledge of anatomy is an important part of medical education. Factors that influence how well students learn anatomical structures include available sources, learning time and study assistance. This study explores the attitude of medical students with regard to studying anatomy and evaluates possibilities for improvement of training in anatomy. Twenty medical students participated in a focus group meeting. Based on this focus group, an online survey consisting of 27 questions was developed and distributed amongst medical students of Maastricht University, the Netherlands. A total of 495 medical students (both Bachelor and Master level) participated in this survey. Master students found studying anatomy less attractive than Bachelor students (36.8% of the Master students vs. 47.9% of the Bachelor students (p=.024)). Although most students responded that they thought it is important to study anatomy, 48% of all students studied anatomy less than 10h per study block of 8 weeks. Only 47.9% of the students rated their knowledge of anatomy as adequate. Students suggested that three-dimensional techniques would help improve their knowledge of anatomy. Therefore investing in three-dimensional tools could prove beneficial in the future.
掌握足够的解剖学知识是医学教育的重要组成部分。影响学生学习解剖结构效果的因素包括可用资源、学习时间和学习辅助。本研究探讨了医学生对解剖学学习的态度，并评估了改进解剖学培训的可能性。20名医学生参加了一次焦点小组会议。基于该焦点小组，开发了一份包含27个问题的在线调查问卷，并分发给荷兰马斯特里赫特大学的医学生。共有495名医学生（包括本科和硕士水平）参与了此次调查。硕士研究生发现解剖学学习不如本科学生有吸引力（36.8%的硕士研究生表示喜欢，而本科学生为47.9%（p = 0.024））。尽管大多数学生回应称他们认为学习解剖学很重要，但在每个8周的学习阶段中，48%的学生学习解剖学的时间少于10小时。只有47.9%的学生认为自己的解剖学知识足够。学生们建议三维技术有助于提高他们的解剖学知识。因此，未来投资三维工具可能会被证明是有益的。
