Medical students' attitudes towards behavioral sciences
1Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Thailand.
Objective:
This study aimed to find the medical students' attitude to Behavioral Science after completing the course.
Method:
Second and third year Chiang Mai medical students were asked to complete a 25-item questionnaire regarding their attitude to Behavioral Science at the end of their final examination.
Results:
Both mean scores of attitude were quite high. There was no difference in mean scores for both years, but some items were answered differently.
Conclusion:
Even though Behavioral Science was regarded as a crucial matter for medical application and the results were satisfactory, many factors involving this subject, such as the teaching system could be changed. The author suggested a possible way to make Behavioral Science more acceptable and understandable.
