Abstract:
Objective:To explore the competitive attitude of students of medical college and its influencing factors.Methods:A sample of 382 first to third year medical students was selected with the method of random sampling. The questionnaire consists of three parts: demographics, Competitive Attitude Scale of Chinese Version and Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy. SPSS 25.0 was applied to perform the statistical analysis. Concrete methods that used involved statistical interpretation, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman rank sum correlation analysis. Results:The benign competitive attitude of students was 51.00(45.00，56.00) and the excessive competitive attitude was 35.00(31.00，38.00). There was a statistically significant difference in the score of benign competitive attitude among medical students of different grades( H=22.31, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of benign competitive attitudes among the medical students who enjoy teamwork ( Z=-4.53, P<0.001), who had role models to follow in the medical field ( Z=-3.99, P<0.001), and who had careful career planning ( Z=-2.19, P=0.029). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of excessive competitive attitudes among the medical students who enjoy teamwork ( Z=-2.47, P=0.014), who had role models to follow in the medical field ( Z=-2.89, P=0.004), and who had careful career planning ( Z=-2.32, P=0.021). There was a weak positive correlation between empathy and benign competitive attitude ( r=0.20, P<0.001), but a negative correlation between empathy and excessive attitude ( r=-0.36, P<0.001). Conclusions:Medical students had a good competitive attitude. Medical college should pay more attention to improving medical students' sense of teamwork, career planning ability and willingness to learn from role models, guide students to develop a benign competitive attitude and focus on improving their professional quality.
