Abstract: Objective To understanding the overall information sharing and critical thinking capacity and correlations of neurology residents. Methods From November to December 2020, 92 residents of neurology in a grade A tertiary hospital were measured with the information sharing and critical thinking capacity scale. Spearman′s rank correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between information sharing capacity and critical thinking capacity. Results The information sharing competency score of these residents was 32 (8.5). Among them, 33 (35.9%) residents had a strong propensity to share information. Critical thinking skills score was 57.97 ± 9.77, with 39 (42.4%) residents having a strong tendency to think critically. There was a positive correlation between the scores of information sharing and critical thinking capacity (r=0.70, P<0.001). Conclusions The information sharing and critical thinking capacity of neurology residents in this hospital need to be improved, and these information sharing and critical thinking capacity are positively correlated. The relationship between information sharing and critical thinking skills can be used to design relevant medical education curricula, which can inform the research and innovation and life-long learning abilities of residents.
