Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the perception of supportive mentoring style among master's degree students in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the current status of research autonomous motivation and self-efficacy, and to analyze the impact of such a style on these two factors.Methods:From April 14 to April 20, 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted among master's degree students in traditional Chinese medicine from eight traditional Chinese medicine standardized training bases in Beijing using the Supportive Mentoring Style Scale, Research Autonomous Motivation Scale, and Research Self-Efficacy Scale. SPSS 20.0 was used for difference analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis on the collected data.Results:In the survey, 405 qualified samples were collected. The score of the Supportive Mentoring Style Scale was (6.00±1.25), the score of the Research Autonomous Motivation Scale was (5.12±1.51), and the score of the Research Self-Efficacy Scale was (4.67±1.55). There were no significant differences in the four demographic variables, students' sex, students' grade, supervisors' title, and supervisors' sex, for the three scales. The supportive mentoring style was positively correlated with both research autonomous motivation ( r=0.509, P<0.01) and research self-efficacy ( r=0.468, P<0.01). Research autonomous motivation was positively correlated with research self-efficacy ( r=0.826, P<0.01). The supportive mentoring style can positively predict research self-efficacy through the mediating effect of research autonomous motivation, with the mediating effect accounting for 86.32% of the total effect. Conclusions:The overall research self-efficacy of master's degree students in traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing is poor. The supportive mentoring style can enhance research autonomous motivation and self-efficacy, promote cultivation efficiency, and strengthen students' self-efficacy, which is beneficial for improving their research capacity training.
