本研究的目的是比较一个基于网络的课程，传统的讲座形式对医学生的文化能力的态度，使用标准化的工具，并检查标准化工具的内部一致性。2010年，我们将所有180名一年级医学生随机分为基于网络（干预组）或基于讲座（对照组）的文化能力培训。主要结果是健康信念态度调查（HBAS）的总体得分（1=最低，6=最高）。我们用因子分析检验了内部一致性。干预组（中位数5.2;第25百分位数[Q1] 4.9，第75百分位数[Q3] 5.5）和对照组（5.3，Q1 4.9，Q3 5.6）之间的总体中位数评分无差异（p=0.77）。两个主要子成分的内部一致性良好（Cronbach α 0.83）至可接受（Cronbach α 0.69）。一个基于网络和讲座为基础的文化能力培训策略与同样高的积极态度，一年级医学生。我们的研究结果值得进一步评估基于网络的文化能力教育干预。
The objectives of this research were to compare a web-based curriculum to a traditional lecture format on medical students’ cultural competency attitudes using a standardized instrument and to examine the internal consistency of the standardized instrument. In 2010, we randomized all 180 first-year medical students into a web-based (intervention group) or a lecture-based (control group) cultural competency training. The main outcome was the overall score on the Health Belief Attitudes Survey (HBAS)(1=lowest, 6=highest). We examined internal consistency with factor analysis. No differences were observed in the overall median scores between the intervention (median 5.2; 25th percentile [Q1] 4.9, 75th percentile [Q3] 5.5) and the control groups (5.3, Q1 4.9, Q3 5.6)(p=0.77). The internal consistency of the two main sub-components was good (Cronbach’s alpha 0.83) to acceptable (Cronbach’s alpha 0.69). A web-based and a lecture-based cultural competency training strategies were associated with equally high positive attitudes among first-year medical students. Our findings warrant further evaluation of web-based cultural competency educational interventions.
