Abstract:
Objective To discuss the cognition of interventional radiology(IR)and employment intention in the students majoring in imaging technology in medical school.Methods From June 7 to July 31 of 2023,a voluntary and anonymous online questionnaire survey concerning the cognition of IR and employment intention was conducted in the students majoring in medical imaging technology in Sichuan University,North Sichuan Medical College,Harbin Medical University,Hebei Medical University,Changzhi Medical College and Sichuan Vocational College of Health and Rehabilitation.The data obtained from the survey were analyzed by descriptive analysis and chi-square test using SPSS 24.0 statistical software.Results A total of 126 valid questionnaires were received.Eighty-seven students(69.05％),94 students(74.61％)and 81(64.28％)students had no knowledge or just had a little bit knowledge about the medical position and current status of IR in the fields of cardiovascular diseases,neurological diseases,and tumor diagnosis and treatment respectively.The IR course was obligatory course for the medical imaging technology specialty in all the schools participating in this survey,and 112 students(91.8％)stated that the school curriculum is the main way to acquire knowledge of IR,and the internet platforms,television science popularization and academic conferences were the other ways to acquire knowledge of IR.Four students(3.17％),17 students(13.49％),57 students(45.24％),39 students(30.95％)and 9 students(7.14％)participating in this survey expressed that they had no intention,no willingness,neutral attitude,high willingness and high intention respectively to engage in IR work in future.The difference in the degree of willingness to engage in IR specialty in future between students of different gender as well as between students with different schooling level was not statistically significant,and the exposure to radiation,work-related high stress,and long working time were the main influencing factors for students to consider IR as their professional career.Conclusion At present,both the cognition of IR and the employment intention are not high in the students majoring in imaging technology in medical school.Therefore,it is very important to improve their cognition of IR and willingness to engage in IR profession.
