Abstract

Abstract:

Objective　To explore the effect of literature reading method in the cultivation of clinical research thinking ability of medical students in obstetrics and gynecology.Methods　A total of 60 clinical medicine undergraduates who completed their obstetrics and gynecology clerkship at Fuxing Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2024 to December 2024 were recruited as research subjects. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=30) and a control group (n=30), by a random number lable method. The experimental group received literature reading training for 8 weeks, including reading one relevant research paper per week, participating in group discussion, writing summary reports, analyzing research methods and data, and delivering PowerPoint presentations under the guidance of the teacher. The control group followed the conventional teaching mode. After the intervention, all students were administered a questionnaire survey on research capabilities and a research paper analysis test to evaluate their clinical and research thinking competence.Results　After the study, the results of the research capability questionnaire indicated that the experimental group outperformed the control group in terms of basic research knowledge, experimental design and methodology selection, as well as literature retrieval and reading skills (P＜0.05). In the research paper analysis test, the experimental group demonstrated better performance than the control group in research content comprehension, critical analysis, and practical application and reflection (P＜0.05). Conclusions　The literature reading method exerts a positive effect on improving medical students' clinical and research thinking competence, with particularly significant outcomes in critical thinking, research design capability and scientific paper interpretation competence.
