Abstract

Background/Objectives: This study explores the participation of college students in school scientific research and its influencing factors, aiming to provide a basis for promoting the cultivation of innovative medical talents in the field of public health. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 626 students from the School of Public Health at Guilin Medical University to understand their participation in scientific research and its influencing factors. Results: A total of 618 valid questionnaires were collected. The results showed that the proportion of respondents participating in scientific research was 49.68%, with significant differences in Age, Grade, Understanding of scientific research content, and personal willingness, P<0.05. Factors such as students Age (OR=0.579, 95% CI: 0.421~0.796), Grades (OR=0.362, 95% CI: 0.259~0.507), Understanding of Teacher Research Projects (OR=1.759, 95% CI: 1.274~2.429), Understanding of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program for College Students (OR=1.884, 95%CI: 1.333~2.662) and Familiarity with the "Challenge Cup" Extracurricular Science and Technology Works Competition (OR =1.421, 95% CI: 1.019~1.982), significantly affect students' participation in scientific research. Conclusions: College students' participation in scientific research has diverse characteristics and is influenced by multiple factors. Efforts to guide students' participation in research should take into account their grade level, age, and willingness to engage.
