目的了解医学生左右辨别的自我意识和能力，确定与这种能力相关的特征，并确定用于辅助辨别的任何技术。设计问卷和心理测量学研究。背景：北方爱尔兰医学院。参与者290名一年级本科生。主要结果测量医学生使用卑尔根左右辨别测试辨别左右的能力。结果测试得分范围为31 - 143，量表为0-144（平均112（标准差22.2））。男生的成绩明显优于女生（117.18（26.96）对110.80（28.94））。想成为外科医生的学生的表现明显好于想成为全科医生或医生的学生（119.87（25.15）v 110.55（27.36）v 112.50（26.88））。性别和职业愿望的交互作用不显著（P=0.370）。使用学习过的技术来帮助他们辨别的学生得分显著低于那些没有使用的学生（P<0.001）。学生在看前视图时辨别左、右的难度高于看后视图时（P<0.001）。 结论男大学生左右辨别能力优于女大学生，外科医生优于全科医生或内科医生。学生们对前视比后视有更大的困难。
Objective To determine medical students’ self awareness and ability to discriminate right from left; to identify characteristics associated with this ability; and to identify any techniques used to aid discrimination. Design Questionnaire and psychometric study. Setting Undergraduate medical school, Northern Ireland. Participants 290 first year undergraduate students. Main outcome measure Medical students’ ability to discriminate right from left using the Bergen right-left discrimination test. Results Test scores ranged from 31 to 143 on a scale of 0-144 (mean 112 (standard deviation 22.2)). Male students significantly outperformed female students (117.18 (26.96) v 110.80 (28.94)). Students who wanted to be surgeons performed significantly better than those who wanted to be general practitioners or medical doctors (119.87 (25.15) v 110.55 (27.36) v 112.50 (26.88)). The interaction effect for sex and career wishes was not significant (P=0.370). Students who used learnt techniques to help them discriminate scored significantly less than those who did not (P<0.001). Students had greater difficulty in discriminating right from left when looking at the forward view rather than the back view (P<0.001). Conclusions Male students were better than female students at distinguishing right from left, and aspiring surgeons were better than aspiring general practitioners or medical doctors. Students had more difficulty with the forward view than the back view.
