Abstract

Abstract: Objective To understand the current status of public health and preventive medicine graduate students' educational expectations, training satisfaction and loyalty, and to investigate the mediating effect of training satisfaction between educational expectations and loyalty. Methods The subject group conducted a cross-sectional survey on the educational expectation, training satisfaction and loyalty of 466 fresh graduate students of public health and preventive medicine from 34 colleges and universities in China from June to July 2021 by using questionnaire survey method, and utilized entropy weighting method to calculate the weights of the indicators and construct the composite scores. Student t-test or ANOVA was used to compare the differences between the characteristics of different populations, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation of the three, and finally split correlation analysis was utilized to explore the mediating effect between education expectation and loyalty. Results Graduate students' educational expectation, training satisfaction, and loyalty scores were (4.27±0.71), (3.78±0.80), and (3.96±0.90), respectively. Educational expectation was positively correlated with cultivation satisfaction (r=0.44, P<0.001), positively correlated with loyalty (r=0.44, P<0.001), cultivation satisfaction was positively correlated with loyalty (r=0.57, P<0.001), and cultivation satisfaction played a partially mediating role between educational expectation and loyalty (β=0.532, P<0.001) . Conclusions Public health and preventive medicine graduate students have high levels of educational expectation, training satisfaction and loyalty; educational expectation has a positive contribution to training satisfaction and loyalty; training satisfaction plays a partial mediating effect between educational expectation and loyalty. Medical schools can improve postgraduate students' satisfaction with training and loyalty by improving the curriculum and teaching and building a sound research platform.
