Medical students

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Human Anatomy
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Human dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education but presents significant technical and emotional challenges for medical students.
  • Student and family reactions to dissection are complex, necessitating careful preparation and support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore medical students' experiences with human dissection and anatomy laboratory orientation.
  • To understand students' long-term psychological and emotional responses to dissection one year after commencement.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative research employing one-on-one semistructured interviews with third-year medical students.
  • Thematic analysis of transcribed interviews conducted one year after students began dissection.

Main Results:

  • Students retain vivid memories of dissection, with varied perspectives on viewing the human body.
  • Identified themes include orientation effectiveness, student anticipation, psychological approach, normalizing disquiet, and social reference.
  • Students navigate not only personal feelings but also external reactions from friends and family regarding dissection.

Conclusions:

  • Orientation effectively eases students' initial entry into the anatomy laboratory.
  • Some students experience ongoing ambivalence towards the body, indicating a need for continued emotional support.
  • Emotional struggles related to dissection can persist, highlighting the necessity for ongoing support and guidance on discussing sensitive topics.
