| Abstract | Abstract Objective: To examine and compare the public mind of medical students at Faculty of Medicine Vajira hospital, Navamindradhiraj University. Methods: This is a descriptive study. The subjects were 195 medical students in academic year 2015 composing 67 first-year, 76 second-year, and 52 third-year medical students. The instrument used for collecting data was a Likert-type, five-point rating scale questionnaire of 20 items on public mind. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistic methods such as mean, percentage, and standard deviation. Results: The results revealed that the 1st-3rd year medical students had high level of public mind in both overall and individual aspects. As each aspect was determined, the highest rated aspect was avoiding destruction of public; the second rank was public respect; and the lowest aspect was responsible for the maintenance. Public mind in the 1st and 2nd year medical student was not significantly different, whereas in the 3rd year medical student was lower than other years. However, there is no difference on their public mind in other factor such as gender and grade point average. Conclusion: The result suggested that the level of public mind declined in higher educational levels among medical students. |
