Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe our experience of a class, using a film that deals with the social issues of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and the results of surveys before and after the class.
Methods: One hundred fifty-six second-year medical students were surveyed with self-questionnaires (9-point Likert scale) before, immediately after, and 2 years after a class that viewed a film (’Philadelphia’, 1993). The same survey, comprising 4 items, was administered to 81 non-medical students in the same university.
Results: In 156 medical students, 153 (98%) answered the questionnaires. Before the class, there was no significant difference between medical and non-medical students with regard to the cognition of social isolation of HIV-infected persons (4.13 vs. 4.43, p=0.307). immediately after the class, medical student’ cognition changed significantly in the positive direction on all items, irrespective of age, sex, and course grade. Two years after the class, this positive effect remained significant on 2 items: ’social isolation of HIV-infected persons’ and ’casual contact with an HIV-infected person.’
Conclusion: A film can be used to reinforce medical education in the affective domain.
