The integration of ChatGPT with educational settings is happening at an unprecedented rate, and there is a growing trend for students to use ChatGPT for various academic work. Although numerous studies have evaluated the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to ChatGPT among students in diverse medical fields, there remains a notable absence of such research within the Chinese context.
The questionnaire survey was conducted to a sample of 1,133 medical students from various medical colleges across Sichuan Province, China, between May 2024 and November 2024 to explore the awareness and attitudes of medical students towards ChatGPT. Descriptive statistics were used to tabulate the frequency of each variable. A chi-square test and multiple regression analysis were employed to investigate the factors influencing participants' positive attitudes toward the prospective use of ChatGPT.
The findings revealed that 62.9% of participants had employed ChatGPT in their medical studies, with 16.5% having utilized the tool in a published article. Participants primarily used ChatGPT for searching information (84.4%) and completing academic assignments (60.4%). However, concerns were expressed regarding the potential for ChatGPT to disseminate misinformation (76.9%) and facilitate plagiarism or complicate its detection (65.4%). Despite these concerns, 64.4% of respondents indicated a willingness to use ChatGPT to seek assistance with learning problems. Overall, a majority of participants (60.7%) maintained a positive attitude on the future use of ChatGPT in the medical field.
Our research showed that while most medical students perceived ChatGPT as a valuable tool for academic study and research, they remained cautious about its potential risks, particularly regarding misinformation and plagiarism concerns. Despite these reservations, a majority participants indicated a willingness to incorporate ChatGPT into their academic workflow, specifically for problem-solving tasks, and maintained optimistic perspectives regarding its potential integration into medical education and clinical practice. It is therefore essential to improve student literacy about AI, develop clear guidelines for its acceptable use, and implement support systems to ensure that medical students are fully prepared for the upcoming integration of AI into medical education.

ChatGPT与教育环境的整合正以前所未有的速度进行，学生使用ChatGPT完成各种学术任务的趋势也在不断增加。尽管众多研究评估了不同医学领域学生对ChatGPT的了解、态度和使用情况，但在中国背景下，此类研究仍明显不足。
于2024年5月至11月对来自中国四川省各医学院校的1133名医学生进行问卷调查，以探究医学生对ChatGPT的认知和态度。采用描述性统计列出各变量的频率。运用卡方检验和多元回归分析来研究影响参与者对ChatGPT未来使用持积极态度的因素。
研究结果显示，62.9%的参与者在医学学习中使用过ChatGPT，其中16.5%在已发表的文章中使用过该工具。参与者主要将ChatGPT用于搜索信息（84.4%）和完成学术作业（60.4%）。然而，他们也表达了对ChatGPT传播错误信息（76.9%）以及助长抄袭或使抄袭检测复杂化（65.4%）的担忧。尽管存在这些担忧，64.4%的受访者表示愿意使用ChatGPT来寻求学习问题的帮助。总体而言，大多数参与者（60.7%）对ChatGPT未来在医学领域的使用持积极态度。
我们的研究表明，虽然大多数医学生将ChatGPT视为学术学习和研究的宝贵工具，但他们对其潜在风险仍持谨慎态度，尤其是在错误信息和抄袭方面。尽管有所保留，但大多数参与者表示愿意将ChatGPT纳入其学术工作流程，特别是用于解决问题的任务，并对其可能融入医学教育和临床实践持乐观态度。因此，提高学生的人工智能素养、制定关于其可接受使用的明确指导方针并实施支持系统，以确保医学生为即将到来的人工智能融入医学教育做好充分准备至关重要。
