Analysis on Current Status and Related Factors of Critical Thinking Ability in 387 Medical Students

目的调查临床医学、中西医临床医学、医学影像学和护理学4个专业本科生批判性思维能力的现状及其影响因素。方法采用整群抽样法,利用批判性思维能力测量表(CTDI-CV)对387名医学生进行问卷调查。结果医学生总体批判性思维能力为正性表现(>280分),7个特质中除寻找真相(37.00分)和系统化能力(38.93分)表现为意义不明确外,其余均表现为正性特质(>40分);不同专业学生的批判性思维能力差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);医学生批判性思维能力与宗教信仰、了解批判性思维和课外阅读时间3个因素有相关性(P<0.05)。结论医学生的批判性思维能力虽然呈正性,但还有待提高,引导学生树立科学的世界观和人生观,加强对批判性思维相关知识的了解,并鼓励学生阅读课外读物有利于提高医学生的批判性思维能力。
