허예라,윤철희 한국과학학술지편집인협의회 2023 Science Editing Vol.10 No.1

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the following overarching issues: the current status of research and publication ethics training conducted in Korean academic organizations and what needs to be done to reinforce research and publication ethics training. Methods: A survey with 12 items was examined in a pilot survey, followed by a main survey that was distributed to 2,487 academic organizations. A second survey, which contained six additional questions, was dispatched to the same subjects. The results of each survey were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis, content analysis, and comparative analysis. Results: More than half of the academic organizations provided research and publication ethics training programs, with humanities and social sciences organizations giving more training than the others (χ 2 = 11.190, df = 2, P = 0.004). The results showed that research and publication ethics training was held mostly once and less than an hour per year, mainly in a lecture format. No significant difference was found in the training content among academic fields. The academic organizations preferred case-based discussion training methods and wanted expert instructors who could give tailored training with examples. Conclusion: A systematic training program that can develop ethics instructors tailored to specific academic fields and financial support from academic organizations can help scholarly editors resolve the apparent gap between the real and the ideal in ethics training, and ultimately to achieve the competency needed to train their own experts.

Purpose: We examined two overarching topics: What are the Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B),Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores in medical students? Do their interpersonal needscorrelate with stress and depression?Methods: FIRO-B, PSS-10, and SDS were administered to 82 freshmen in College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Koreain 2014. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, frequency, two-way analysis of variance, independent t-test, and Pearsoncorrelation analysis using SPSS version 21.0 (IBM Corp.). Results: The level of interpersonal needs was medium range (mean, 24.52). The mean perceived stress score was 18.6. Also, 59.8%and 40.2% of students had normal range (<20) and high stress (≥20). The mean score for depression was 36.3. Further, 97.6%and 2.4% of students had normal range (≤49) and mild depression (≤59). Wanted behavior correlated with stress (r=0.056) anddepression (r=0.021). Expressed behavior correlated negatively with stress (r=-0.206) and depression (r=-0.301). Conclusion: The interpersonal needs of medical freshmen are related to stress and depression. These results can be used effectivelyin school adaptation programs for medical students to improve their quality of life.

의과대학생들의 의학 전문직업성에 대한 자기평가

허예라,이성호,김선 한국의학교육학회 2008 Korean journal of medical education Vol.20 No.1

Purpose: Medical professionalism has become a very popular theme in medical education since 2000. Despite the high interest, not alot of variety of studies have been done. In particular, it is very difficult to find a study focusing on the professionalism level of medical students; and none exists in Korea. The purpose of this study is to examine the level of medical professionalism in medical students and the differences between the academic years. Methods: Of the 41 medical schools in Korea, eight were sampled randomly. From these, 2,590 medical students were finally chosen for the survey. Independent t-test and one-way Anova were used to analyse the differences between the academic years. Results: The level of medical professionalism (medical knowledge, skills and attitude) of premedical students and medical students all appeared to be below average or average. For premedical students, differences were seen in ‘professional knowledge’ but still at a below average level. By graduation, medical students showed an overall increase in all three domains of medical professionalism, especially in ‘professional attitude’. Their scores, however, did not reach more than average. Conclusion: There are specific areas of weaknesses in medical professionalism in students; and as their level of professionalism was not satisfactory even by the time of graduation, medical educators need to reconsider the present medical professionalism curriculum and investigate ways to improve the level of medical professionalism in medical students.

Purpose: Medical students’ personality types and interpersonal needs must be considered. The purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of personality types and interpersonal needs. Methods: A total of 171 students in Konyang University College of Medicine were examined using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation–Behavior (FIRO-B). The data were analyzed by frequency analysis, t-test,and one-sample proportion test. Results: The proportion of the 4 pairs of MBTI dimensions were Extroversion (E)-Introversion (I) (53.2% vs. 46.8%), Sensing (S)-Intuition (N) (63.2% vs. 36.8%), Thinking (T)-Feeling (F) (59.7% vs. 40.4%), and Judging (J)-Perceiving (P) (56.1% vs. 43.9%). The predominant personality types were ISTJ (16.4%), ESTJ (14.0%), and ESFJ (10.5%). The level of interpersonal needs were medium rage that was inclusion (mean=8.1), control (mean=8.8), affection (mean=8.1), expressed behavior (mean=12.1), wanted behavior (mean=12.9), and overall interpersonal needs (mean=25.0). Of the basic social needs, males and females differed significantly with regard to control needs (p=0.028). Conclusion: Educational programs that take into account personality types and characteristics of interpersonal needs are crucial in providing effective medical education. Our results suggest that the characteristics of personality types and interpersonal needs should be considered in developing an interpersonal relations improvement program for medical students.

허예라,최창진,조아라 한국의학교육학회 2017 Korean journal of medical education Vol.29 No.1

Purpose: Patient-centred care can increase patient satisfaction and lead to better clinical outcomes for them, such as improved physical status and higher health-related quality of life. However, doctors’ and patients’ views on patient-centred attitude might differ and could be affected by culture and the community environment. To clarify the differences in primary care patients’ and senior medical students’ perceptions of medical students’ patient-centred attitude. Methods: A total of 1,025 subjects—827 patients from primary care institutions and 198 fourth-year medical students from a medical college in South Korea—completed the Patient Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS). The students completed the self-reported questionnaire at the end of their clinical clerkship. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and one-way analysis of variances were conducted in SPSS version 21.0. Results: Firstly, sharing subscale scores were higher among patients than among medical students (students, 3.61 vs. patients, 3.76; p<0.001), but secondly, caring subscale scores were higher among medical students (students, 4.18 vs. patients, 3.82; p<0.001). Thirdly, PPOS total scores were higher among medical students (students, 3.90 vs. patients, 3.79; p=0.001). Finally, male students had the lowest sharing scores (F=6.811, p<0.001) and female students showed the highest PPOS total scores (F=5.805, p=0.001). Conclusion: Significant differences between medical students’ and patients’ perceptions of medical students’ patient-centred attitudes suggest the necessity of educational efforts to overcome the gap between the groups.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the satisfaction of undergraduate medical students with their medical professionalism education. Methods: Two hundred and one premedical students and 1,287 medical students (from year 1 to 4) participated in a five-point Likert scale survey. There were 27 items in the premedical students' survey and 31 items in the medical students' questionnaire. Statistical analysis including one-way ANOVA was performed. Results: Among the 27 items concerning premedical professionalism education, only six topics scored "average" level. In the survey of medical students only nine items out of 31 were rated "average" which did not reach the satisfactory level. Nine items from the medical students' survey showed significant positive improvements in satisfaction as the academic year increased; however,the changes were not large enough for any of the topics to receive a satisfactory score. Conclusion: Overall students were dissatisfied with their professionalism education. The reasons for these results and possible approaches for improving students’ satisfaction should be considered in future research.
