The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of year in school, age, gender, and level of education on medical students attitudes towards social issues. In addition, students beliefs about physicians' psychosocial behavior were assessed. Understanding what these attitudes are and when they change, if they do, is important information for fostering positive attitudes towards psychosocial issues throughout the curriculum to develop patient-oriented physicians.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of year in school, age, gender, and level of education on medical students attitudes towards social issues. In addition, students beliefs about physicians' psychosocial behavior were assessed. Understanding what these attitudes are and when they change, if they do, is important information for fostering positive attitudes towards psychosocial issues throughout the curriculum to develop patient-oriented physicians.
520 $a To determine medical students' attitudes and beliefs towards social issues and physicians' psychosocial behavior a questionnaire composed to two parts, Parlow and Rothman's Attitudes Towards Social Issues in Medicine 63 item questionnaire and a new section of 19 items on Beliefs About Physicians' Psychosocial Behavior, was given to medical students years 1-4 at St. Louis University School of Medicine.
520 $a It was hypothesized that medical students' attitudes towards social issues would become less positive over time and would correspond with beliefs that physicians infrequently engage in psychosocial behavior. When the students were grouped for analysis according to age, sex, year in school, educational background, or preclinical or clinical status, only one difference was found. Clinical females felt more positive towards social issues in general than did preclinical females. All groups held relatively positive attitudes towards social issues, felt most positively towards "Doctor Patient Relations" and "Preventive Medicine", and felt least positively towards "Government Relations". All groups believed that physicians engage in psychosocial behavior in either teaching situations or patient care situations about half of the time.
520 $a Contrary to the hypotheses, students' attitudes towards social issues did not become less positive over time as they entered clinical settings. Also, beliefs that physicians engage in psychosocial behavior only about half of the time did not correlate with medical students negative beliefs about social issues. The implication is that attitudes are not easily changed or influenced.
