Abstract
[PURPOSE] Medical students play an essential role in providing disease consultation for patients. Despite the rapid increase in thyroid disease, there are few data on how well Chinese medical students master the knowledge of thyroid diseases. This study aims to evaluate the clinical knowledge, perception, and clinical communication confidence of medical students on thyroid cancer (TC).
[PATIENTS AND METHODS] This cross-sectional study was carried out among medical students of Chongqing Medical University. An anonymous, self-administered questionnaire distributed from December 2022 to February 2023 included items on demographics and other information, the warning signs of cancer, perception regarding a person's chance of developing cancer, and clinical communication confidence. Descriptive analysis, difference analysis, and correlation analysis were carried out.
[RESULTS] A total of 226 medical students participated in the survey. Most students (n=191, 84.5%) had heard of TC, while only a few (n=10, 4.4%) regularly performed thyroid self-examination. One hundred and eighty-four students (81.4%) agreed that an unexplained lump or swelling could be a sign of cancer. There were significant differences in thyroid clinical knowledge in relation to gender (P<0.001), major (P=0.026), and thyroid disease (P=0.030). Clinical communication confidence showed significant differences in year of study (P=0.002), major (P=0.048), and graduate major (P<0.001). There was a correlation between clinical confidence and year of study (r=0.261, P<0.001).
[CONCLUSION] Most medical students have sufficient clinical knowledge on TC prevention, but there are still misconceptions related to TC screening. In addition, medical students lack confidence in communicating with patients. Comprehensive communication training should be integrated into the medical curriculum and clinical activities should be initiated earlier.
