Objectives : The objectives of this study were to examine the difference in attitude toward health-specific locus-of-control and medical care among western medical students, oriental Medical students, and non-medical school students. Methods : The subjects of this study were 667 students who agreed to respond the questionnaire :212 western medical school students, 190 oriental medical school students, and 205 non-medical school students. The health-specific locus of control was measured by the structured questionnaire developed by Lau and Ware. The attitude toward western and oriental medicine was also measured by the questionnaire. Results : Western medical students and non-medical school students were more likely than oriental medical students to place high value on 'the provider control over health' and 'the general threat to health' scales (F=20.47, F=19.98). But oriental medical school students ranked 'the self control of health' scale as more important than any other locus of control scale (F=19.34). The health specific locus of control was also different from the grade. When trte grade was increased, 'the provider control over health' scale was slowly decreased, especially in western medical students and non medical school students. However, the 'general threat to health' scale was increased in oriental medical students. Western medical school students expressed more positive attitude toward western medicine. Oriental medical school students put a higher score on oriental medicine. Nevertheless, as the grade was increased, the positive attitude toward oriental medicine slightly decreased in oriental medical school students. Conclusions : There is a difference in health-specific locus of control and attitude toward medicine among western medical students, oriental medical students, and non-medical students. The locus of control and attitude of medical students towards medicine may affect both how they behave towards patients and how they help shape future public policy. Therefore, interdisciplinary educational initiatives may be the best way to handle this issue.

목적: 말기 암 환자의 증가, 노년인구의 증가, 연명치료기술의 발달 등으로 완치될 수 없는 질환을 가진 말기 환자에 대한 치료 결정(End of life decision making)은 늘어나고 있다. 하지만 이에 대한 의료진의 태도나 환자 및 보호자의 인식은 낮은 상태에 있고 이로 인해서 말기 환자에게 말기진정과 같은 결정이 필요한 경우에 있어서도 그 시행에 많은 제약이 있으며 때로는 잘못된 시행으로 윤리적으로 어긋나는 경우가 발생되고 있다. 이에 의과대학 교육과정을 통하여 말기 환자 치료 결정에 대한 올바른 태도 변화를 가져올 수 있으며, 미래 의료계의 주역이 될 의과대학생들이 말기진정을 포함하여 능동적 안락사, 의사조력자살, 연명치료 유보 및 중단 등 말기 환자 치료결정에 대해 어떠한 태도를 가지고 있는가를 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 2007년 6월 25일부터 6월 29일 사이에 1개 의과대학 본과 1, 2학년 학생과 임상 실습중인 3학년 학생 총 388명을 대상으로 능동적 안락사, 의사조력자살, 연명치료 유보 및 중단, 말기 진정 등 말기 환자 치료결정에 대한 태도와 인구사회학적 자료를 설문 조사하였다. 응답이 완료된 267명을 대상으로 말기 환자 치료결정에 대한 태도와 각 인자들 간의 관련성을 분석하였다. 결과: 일개 의과대학생 267명을 대상으로 시행한 설문 조사에서 능동적 안락사, 의사조력자살, 연명치료의 유보 및 중단, 말기 진정의 시행에 찬성하는 비율은 각각 37.1%, 21.7%, 58.4%, 60.3%, 41.6%였다. 이 비율은 각 항목의 윤리적 타당성에 대한 설문 결과와 유사하였다. 1학년보다는 3학년에서 능동적 안락사와 의사조력자살은 더 반대하였고, 연명치료 유보 및 중단, 말기 진정에 대해서는 더 찬성하였다. 종교 활동 시간이 많을수록 각 항목에 대한 찬성이 적었으며 교육 경험 유무, 특히 임상실습경험이 있는 3학년 학생에서 말기 진정에 더 많이 찬성하였다. 연령, 임종 환자 경험 유무가 태도에 미치는 영향은 없었다. 결론: 말기 환자 치료 결정의 구체적 임상 행위에 대한 의과대학생의 태도에 이전 연구에서처럼 종교 또는 교육이 말기 환자 치료 결정에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 특히, 임상실습을 통한 교육경험이 태도 변화에 중요하였다.

End-of-life care competencies have been perceived as important and essential, so it has been suggested that end-of-life care be studied in undergraduate medical education. However, end-of-life care curriculum has mostly focused on acquisition of knowledge and skills rather than attitudes. Therefore, we aimed to explore whether education about death affects medical students' attitudes towards care for dying patients and perception of death anxiety, meaning in life, and self-esteem. A total of 15 first- or second-year medical students were surveyed with questionnaires before and after completing a 6-week death education course. Paired data analysis showed that participants' attitudes towards caring for terminally ill patients and their caregivers improved significantly (t=-2.84, p=0.013) with an effect size of 0.73. In contrast, no significant changes were found in death anxiety, meaning in life, or self-esteem. All participants agreed that formal teaching about death and dying must be encouraged in medical schools. Our results suggest that death education may positively influence attitudes towards end-of-life care. Although replication with larger samples is necessary, this preliminary finding may support the importance of developmentally appropriate end-of-life care education in medical schools.

Medical school students learn a lot about medical knowledge and clinical experience in the classroom. Teaching is a main focus in medical schools; therefore, it is necessary to identify the characteristics of good teaching. The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of high-quality education in medical schools. In this study, in-depth interviews were conducted over two weeks on twelve fourth-year medical students. Participants were asked to define high-quality education, list the general ways in which high-quality classes are delivered, mention cases where they have experienced high-quality teaching, and describe the attitude required of students to make high-quality education possible. The results showed that students want to be taught in an interactive way on the core content needed in an actual clinical setting for the goal of cultivating primary care physicians. They want their education to include not only medical knowledge, but also liberal art subjects such as politics, economics, sociology, culture and ethics education to help instill a sound value system. In particular, students stressed the importance of instructors delivering appropriate post-evaluation feedback, and they also emphasized that learner mindset and attitude is important in supporting high-quality teaching in class. This paper also summarizes the elements of high-quality teaching in terms of educational goals, content, and method, and examines cases of instructors who have delivered high-quality classes.

The study aimed to understand medical students' experiences of emotional changes, including their method of adapting to experiences, and the effect of the experiences in shaping their identities. We interviewed 12 medical students who were finishing their 1-year clinical internship in 2016. Data on their opinions and reasons for emotional changes during their school life were obtained. The descriptive phenomenological approach was applied to analyze the interviews. Their stress came from disappointment in themselves, competitive environment, observing a change in their personalities, meeting their parents' expectations, and interpersonal relations. The interviewees adjusted to the medical study by exercising self-control in their studies and daily lives, by practicing self-acceptance and observing their state of mind, and by breaking free from the competition-driven environment and obsession with grades. In addition, they cultivated endurance and found external support. Finally, they achieved self-efficacy and were comfortable in their identity as medical students. They still had to address the stress from working relationships and the difficulty in balancing studies and life. The medical students' self-evaluation and compulsive tendencies increased during the medical course due to the burden of studies. They evolved by learning self-control and introspection and seeking ways to adapt. Understanding this growth process of medical students will improve student support in medical schools.
