摘要：Purpose:The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the medical research curriculum on the students’ satisfaction and the research self-efficacy. Methods:The curriculum was implemented to 79 graduate medical school students who entered in 2007 and 2008. This curriculum is implemented through 3 years consisting of 5 different sub-courses:Research design,Research ethics,Medical statistics,Writing medical paper,and Presentation. The effect of this program was measured with 2 self-administered surveys to students:the course satisfaction survey and the self-efficacy inventories. The Research Self-Efficacy Scale consisted of 18 items from 4 categories: Research design,Research ethics,Data analysis,and Result presentation. The descriptive statistics,paired t-test,and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were implemented. Results:The average point of satisfaction of the course was 2.74 out of 4,which told us that students generally satisfied with the course. The frequencies of tutoring for research course were 2 or 3 times on average and each session of tutorial lasted 1.5 to 2 hours. The research self-efficacy in three categories (Research design,Research ethics,and Result presentation) increased significantly (p<0.1). The self-efficacy of the male students was higher than females’ one. The self-efficacy was not significantly different by the experience of research paper writing at undergraduate level. Conclusion:The curriculum showed positive results in cultivating research self-efficacy of students. There is a need for improvement of the class of Statistical analysis as students reported that it was difficult.
