This study investigated changes in students' perceptions related to research following a student-engaged medical research curriculum.
Three surveys were administered to 112 medical students to examine the changes in their perceptions of the need for research competence, research interest, and research self-efficacy after each Medical Research Practice course.
The results revealed a decline in the perception of the need for research competence and research interest after Medical Research Practice 2, with a subsequent increase after Medical Research Practice 3. Conversely, research self-efficacy showed steady improvement throughout the curriculum. Additionally, students with prior research experience exhibited higher levels of perception of the need for research competence, research interest, and research self-efficacy than those without such experience.
This study provides insights into how medical students' perceptions change in relation to student-engaged medical research course experiences, supporting expanding research-related curricula and assisting in the development and systematic implementation of similar programs in other medical schools.
本研究调查了学生在参与式医学研究课程后，对研究相关认知的变化。
对 112 名医学生进行了 3 次调查，以考察他们在每次医学研究实践课程后对研究能力、研究兴趣和研究自我效能的认知变化。
结果显示，医学研究实践 2 后，学生对研究能力和研究兴趣的认知下降，而医学研究实践 3 后又有所上升。相反，研究自我效能感在整个课程中稳步提高。此外，有研究经验的学生比没有研究经验的学生对研究能力、研究兴趣和研究自我效能感的认知更高。
本研究深入了解了医学生在参与式医学研究课程体验方面的认知变化，支持扩展与研究相关的课程，并有助于在其他医学院校开发和系统实施类似的项目。
