Abstract:
Objective To study current situation of creativity among medical students and its influential factors, and to explore structural equation model about influential factors of creativity. Methods The sample was randomly chosen by using cluster-based sampling method, 413 students in medical university were tested by Williams creativity scale and the influential factors of creativity questionnaire. Results Among the medical student's creativity characters, the most extrusive character was challenge(2.35±0.26), the more important were curiosity(2.29±0.28) and risk-taking(2.21±0.27), and imagination(2.04±0.33) was less important. The structural equation model of influential factors of creativity implied that mental health was the most important factor about improving medical student creativity and by changing study style could promote creativity of medical students. Conclusion By establishing structural equation model, we not only study the influential factors of creativity in realistic view, but also master important extent of each influential factors theoretically.
