Research status of scientific research ability of professional surgical postgraduates under the standardized training mode of residents

Abstract

Objective To explore the status quo and countermeasures of the scientific research ability of professional surgical postgraduates under the standardized training mode of residents. Methods Fifty-five students in Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University during September 2015 to December 2017 were enrolled in the present study. Questionnaire was used to collection the data in order to evaluate the current research abilities and provide feedbacks for the adoption of improvement measures of research skill. The results of the survey were entered into the computer using EpiData 3.0 software, and descriptive analysis of the data were performed using Excel 2010 and SPSS 20.0 to calculate the percentage of each indicator. Results The results showed that 38(69.1%) graduate students were able to assist the instructor in basic research work, and 17(30.9%) graduate students showed low enthusiasm for independent design and writing of the paper. In addition, 23(41.8%) graduate students hoped to improve their research capabilities and added more training courses. 10(18.2%) students hoped to strengthen the training of the clinical subject tutors, and thought that the communication and contact with the tutor was not enough. Conclusions The professional postgraduates overvalue clinical practice and undervalued scientific research. This article introduces ways of strengthening the cultivation of scientific research awareness, optimizing curriculum system, playing the core role of mentors, establishing incentive system and scientific research platform to enhance scientific research capacity.
