The aim of the present survey was to analyze the knowledge and skills in medical paper writing of physicians who attended the course "how to write successfully a scientific paper."
A blind survey was used to analyze participants' knowledge on the topic of the course "how to write successfully a scientific paper." Before starting the workshop, participants anonymously filled out the input questionnaire containing 12 preliminary data questions. The three-hour course included a lecture on the steps of creating and writing a scientific article with examples. At the end, all participants anonymously completed the exit questionnaire consisting of 18 questions. Differences and associations between the collected data were analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
The survey included 22 participants, most of whom were women (16, 72.7%). The participants' educational level was proportional to their age. 12 of the participants had an intermediate level, while the others reported higher English proficiency. Half of the participants had never published an article. A significant difference was observed between English level and being the first author of an article published in a scientific journal (p = 0.044). Before class, only 13.6% of participants knew that guidelines are mandatory for making clinical decisions according to evidence- based medicine. There was a significant positive correlation between sex and current affiliation (p = 0.038). A negative correlation was observed between sex and article publication (p = 0.037). A positive correlation was observed between English level and current affiliation (p = 0.020). There was a negative correlation observed between previous sources of learning scientific article writing and having already published an article (p = 0.025). A positive correlation was found between reading an article and publishing it (p = 0.046). Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between reading frequency, number of published articles, being the first author, and knowing the title of a scientific article (p = 0.036, p = 0.027, and p = 0.030, respectively).
The results of the questionnaires revealed discrepancies in prior research engagement and understanding of scientific concepts and rules. This survey highlights the importance of the course "how to successfully write a scientific article" in improving participants' knowledge of scientific work and the process of creating an article for submission to medical journals.
本次调查的目的是分析参加“如何成功撰写科学论文”课程的医生在医学论文写作方面的知识和技能。
采用盲法调查来分析参与者对“如何成功撰写科学论文”这一课程主题的知识。在研讨会开始前，参与者匿名填写包含12个初步数据问题的输入问卷。为期三小时的课程包括一场关于撰写科学文章步骤并配有实例的讲座。最后，所有参与者匿名完成由18个问题组成的结业问卷。使用适当的统计测试分析所收集数据之间的差异和关联。
该调查包括22名参与者，其中大多数为女性（16名，占72.7%）。参与者的教育水平与年龄成正比。12名参与者处于中级水平，而其他参与者英语水平较高。一半的参与者从未发表过文章。在英语水平与作为科学期刊上发表文章的第一作者之间观察到显著差异（p = 0.044）。上课前，只有13.6%的参与者知道根据循证医学制定临床决策时指南是强制性的。性别与当前所属机构之间存在显著正相关（p = 0.038）。在性别与文章发表之间观察到负相关（p = 0.037）。英语水平与当前所属机构之间存在正相关（p = 0.020）。在之前学习科学论文写作的来源与已经发表过文章之间观察到负相关（p = 0.025）。在阅读文章与发表文章之间发现正相关（p = 0.046）。统计分析显示在阅读频率、发表文章数量、作为第一作者以及知晓科学文章标题之间存在显著差异（分别为p = 0.036、p = 0.027和p = 0.030）。
问卷结果揭示了先前研究参与度以及对科学概念和规则理解方面的差异。本次调查突出了“如何成功撰写科学文章”这一课程在提高参与者对科学工作的认识以及为提交给医学期刊而创作文章的过程方面的重要性。
