Abstract

Objective To investigate the current status of medical student's critical thinking ability and its influencing factor.Methods 320 medical students from the Medical School of Wuhan University were selected for investigation. Chinese Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory(CTDI-CV)was adopted for the survey.Results The average total score of CTDI-CV of the medical students was (244.97±30.03), and only 10.0% of the students showed positive critical thinking ability. Student's critical thinking ability was weak. Gender, education, grade and practical ability were the main influencing factors of critical thinking ability in medical students. In critical thinking ability, female was significantly stronger than male, graduates were superior to undergraduates and high grade medical students were better than junior medical students. The stronger students' clinical competence and ability of documents index were, the better their critical thinking ability were.Conclusions Colleges and universities should improve teaching methods to develop critical thinking ability of students majored in medicine.

Key words： Medical students; Critical thinking ability; Influencing factor; Investigation
