Abstract:
Objective To measure the present situation of medical students' learning adaptability and find the influencing factors in order to revise Learning Adaptability Scale for medical students.Methods A stratified sampling method was used to collect 1 180 medical students from Harbin Medical University.Using the internal consistency reliability test,the reliability of the revised student learning adaptability scale was verified.Five common factors were extracted by the exploratory factor analysis of the principal analysis method,and Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of medical student learning adaptability.Results The revised Student Learning Adaptability Scale (Cronbach's Alpha=0.914) consists of 27 measurement items.It includes five dimensions,namely self-directed learning,information utilization,environment choice,stresses response and goal orientation.The results showed that the adaptability of medical students was moderate (3.28 ± 0.52),and the influencing factors included job position (OR =1.496,95％ CI=1.114-2.009),academic achievement (OR =1.638,95 ％ CI=1.386-1.936),satisfaction with learning (OR=2.160,95％CI=1.745-2.673),professional satisfaction (OR=1.369,95％CI=1.092-1.718),professional interest (OR =1.426,95％ CI=1.186-1.715) and employment prospects (OR =1.526,95％ CI=1.251-1.862).Conclusion The reliability and validity of the Student Learning Adaptability Scale is appropriate.Medical students' learning adaptability is influenced by many factors.
