长期公派出国留学对临床医师科研能力影响分析

Effects of long-term studying abroad on scientific research ability of clinical doctors

目的分析长期公派出国留学对临床医师科研能力的影响,并探讨评价指标的合理性.方法选取我院2008年至2010年长期公派出国留学(3个月及以上)的临床医师作为出国组,共36人;采用倾向性评分匹配法,从我院临床医师信息数据库中挑选出对照组36人,比较两组人员发表学术论文(SCI)、获得基金数量、获得科技成果数量.采用协方差分析比较两组科研成果数量差异,采用logistic回归分析比较出国前、后临床医师科研成果变化情况.结果出国组在回国后1~3年发表SCI文章、获得基金数量显著高于对照组,回国后4 ~6 年获得基金数量也显著高于对照组;出国组在回国后1~3年发表的SCI文章数量、回国后4~6年获得的基金数量均比出国前1~3年多(均P<0.05).结论长期公派出国留学对临床医师科研能力有明显提升.以发表SCI文章数量作为科研能力短期变化评价指标、以获得基金数量作为科研能力长期变化评价指标,较为合理易行.

Objective To analyze whether studying abroad has any influence on clinicians′ scientific research ability, and study the rationality of the indicators reflecting the scientific research ability. Methods A total of 36 clinicians who studied abroad more than 3 months between 2008 and 2010 were selected as the abroad group, and the control group of 36 clinicians was selected from the clinician information database of the hospital by the method of Propensity Score Match.A comparison and analysis were made regarding the number of papers(SCI), grants and scientific and technological achievements between the two groups.Meanwhile, covariance analysis was used to compare the difference in the number of scientific research achievements between the two groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to compare the changes in scientific research achievements of clinicians before and after their abroad study. Results The number of articles(SCI)published and grants obtained in the 3 years after going abroad was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the number of grants obtained in the 4-6 years after going abroad was also significantly higher than that in the control group.The number of papers(SCI)published in the three years after going abroad was more than that in the 3 years before going abroad.The number of grants obtained in the 4-6 years after going abroad was more than that in the 3 years before going abroad.These differences were statistically significant. Conclusions Studying abroad has a beneficial effect on the improvement of clinicians′ scientific research ability.It is reasonable and practical to take the number of SCI articles published as the indicator of short-term changes and the number of funds obtained as the indicator of long-term changes in scientific research ability.
