某医科大学博士研究生医学统计学认知现状及教学需求调查

Survey of knowledge and teaching demand of medical statistics among doctoral students in a medical university

目的医学统计学是完成科研与实践的重要工具。文中通过调查的方法了解医学博士研究生医学统计学的认知情况、学习需求及其相关影响因素,为优化医学统计学教学模式提供依据。方法采用自行设计的调查问卷,对某医科大学2014级选修医学统计学课程的博士研究生在授课前后分别进行调查。结果博士研究生医学统计学掌握水平参差不齐,对教学进度的要求不同。81.4%以上的被调查对象在"科学合理设计"和"统计方法选择"方面存在困难。超过50%的博士研究生对高级统计学知识了解不够、软件应用能力较差,希望在理论课中增加更多实际案例讲解及软件应用授课,并举办短期专项培训班。结论学校和授课教师应针对博士研究生的特殊性进行教学改革,按照统计学掌握水平及需求分班教学,并尽可能结合学生课题等其他实例进行讲解,借以提高教学效率,最终达到提升医学博士研究生课题统计设计水平和解决实际科研统计问题能力的目的。

Objective Medical statistics is an important tool in scientific research and practice. The article was to evaluate the current knowledge, learning needs and related influencing factors of medical statistics among medical doctoral students to provide references for the optimization in the teaching mode of medical statistics. Methods A questionnaire was used to investigate Grade 2014 doctoral students who took medical statistics course before and after the teaching in a medical university. Results The knowledge of doctoral students were at different levels and they had different learning requirements. More than 81.4% of the respondents have difficulty in the choice of scientific and reasonable design and the scientific design. Over 50% students had insufficient knowledge of advanced statistics and poor software application ability. They had the demands for more practical cases explanation in theory course, more software teaching hours and some short term specialized courses. Conclusion The university and teachers should carry out teaching reform according to the particularity of doctoral students and teach in small sections according to their knowledge levels of statistics and learning requirements. It is suggested that the teaching should be combined with the students＇ own research projects in order to improve the teaching effect and improve the students＇ability in statistical design and solving the practical problem in scientific research statistics.
