Attitudes are one of the most important outcomes of medical education, but little is known about curricular influences on specific attitudes. This study examined changes in attitudes toward 20 preventive-care services in a cohort of 175 medical students. Specifically, a cohort of medical students was followed over a 30-month interval that spanned the period from medical school entry through the first 6 months of clinical clerkships. Perceived importance, as well as student confidence in the ability of primary-care physicians to provide 20 preventive-care services, was examined. Importance ratings for preventive-care services remained stable, while levels of confidence in the ability of physicians to provide the services increased. Implications of the results are discussed in relation to the possibilities for emphasizing disease prevention content in medical education.
态度是医学教育最重要的成果之一，但对于课程设置对特定态度的影响却知之甚少。本研究调查了175名医学生对20项预防保健服务态度的变化。具体而言，对一组医学生进行了为期30个月的跟踪调查，涵盖从进入医学院到临床实习的前6个月这段时间。研究考察了他们对预防保健服务的感知重要性，以及对初级保健医生提供20项预防保健服务能力的信心。预防保健服务的重要性评分保持稳定，而医生提供这些服务能力的信心水平有所提高。研究结果的影响将结合在医学教育中强调疾病预防内容的可能性进行讨论。
