BACKGROUND
Critical appraisal is an important skill for clinicians of the future which medical students often have limited opportunities to develop. This study aimed to evaluate whether a national journal club session could improve medical students' confidence with critical appraisal.
METHODS
98 medical students attended a critical appraisal lecture and supervised journal article discussions. Junior doctor mentors supported students to submit discussion points as a letter-to-the-editor. An online cross-sectional survey was administered before and after the conference.
RESULTS
74 students responded, reporting increased confidence with critically appraising research articles (median score 2 vs 4, p<0.01) and increased understanding of why critical appraisal was important to their careers (median score 3 vs 5, p<0.01).
DISCUSSION
This is the first study to demonstrate that a single national journal club session can significantly improve UK medical students' confidence with the critical appraisal process. These opportunities are valued by medical students.
背景
批判性评价是未来临床医生的一项重要技能，而医学生培养这项技能的机会往往有限。本研究旨在评估全国性的期刊俱乐部活动能否提高医学生进行批判性评价的信心。
方法
98名医学生参加了一场批判性评价讲座，并参与了有指导的期刊文章讨论。初级医生导师支持学生将讨论要点作为读者来信提交。在会议前后进行了在线横断面调查。
结果
74名学生做出回应，报告称对批判性评价研究文章的信心有所增强（中位数得分从2提高到4，p<0.01），并且对批判性评价为何对其职业发展很重要的理解也有所增加（中位数得分从3提高到5，p<0.01）。
讨论
这是第一项表明单次全国性期刊俱乐部活动能够显著提高英国医学生对批判性评价过程的信心的研究。医学生重视这些机会。
