A cancer attitude survey was administered to a cohort of 152 final-year medical undergraduates in Hong Kong from mid-1988 to mid-1990, on the first and last days of a four-week oncology module. Significant differences in pre- and post-module scores suggest that the course had significant impact on attitudes toward early diagnosis, treatment aggressiveness, and acceptance of death. The changes are generally regarded by the teachers as desirable. Comparison with a similar survey performed ten years earlier on a group of American second-year medical undergraduates shows significant differences in most of the pre-course scores. Factor analysis shows that the items in the survey could not be readily categorized by a limited number of factors, thus casting doubt on the validity of the instrument in reflecting attitudinal attributes as described in the original survey.
1988年年中至1990年年中，在一个为期四周的肿瘤学模块的第一天和最后一天，对香港152名医学本科最后一年的学生进行了癌症态度调查。模块前后分数的显著差异表明，该课程对早期诊断态度、积极治疗态度和对死亡的接受度有显著影响。教师们普遍认为这些变化是可取的。与十年前对一组美国医学本科二年级学生进行的类似调查相比，大多数课程前分数存在显著差异。因子分析表明，调查中的项目不能轻易地按有限数量的因子进行分类，因此对该工具在反映原始调查中所描述的态度属性方面的有效性产生了怀疑。
