背景：大多数医生未能对患者进行常规性侵犯史筛查。目的：本研究旨在评估医学生对常规筛查患者性侵犯史的支持，检查筛查的潜在障碍，并确定是否可以通过教育干预改变态度。研究方法：103二年级医学生完成了一项调查之前和之后的讲座性侵犯（响应率= 94/103和90/103，分别）。问卷管理的第三次标准化的患者遇到一名女性强奸受害者（响应率= 102/103）。结果：大多数医学生同意，患者应进行筛查性受害。学生对强奸神话的接受程度较低。与强奸神话的协议与增加筛查犹豫。观察到统计学显著的性别差异。在教育会议之后，学生们表达了更少的强奸神话接受和更多的安慰筛选。结论：性侵犯教育可以减少强奸神话的接受，促进性侵犯的筛查。
Background: Most physicians fail to routinely screen patients for a history of sexual assault. Purposes: This study aimed to gauge medical student support for routinely screening patients for a history of sexual assault, examine potential barriers to screening, and determine if attitudes can be changed through educational interventions. Methods: One hundred three 2nd-year medical students completed a survey before and after a lecture on sexual assault (response rate = 94/103 and 90/103, respectively). The questionnaire was administered a third time following a standardized patient encounter with a female rape victim (response rate = 102/103). Results: Most medical students agreed that patients should be screened for sexual victimization. Students showed low levels of rape myth acceptance. Agreement with rape myths correlated with increased screening hesitancy. Statistically significant gender differences were observed. Following educational sessions, students expressed less rape myth acceptance and more comfort screening. Conclusions: Sexual assault education can diminish rape myth acceptance and promote screening for sexual assault.
