Objective To investigate the capability and demands of medical students of medical information retrieval, and to provide information for medical information literacy education.Methods We conducted an online questionnaire survey among medical students from 15th to 21st July, 2019, aiming to analyze basic characteristics of the subjects and their ways and capability to acquire medical information, and evaluated their demands and satisfaction about relevant courses.Results Four hundred and nine valid questionnaires were collected. The average age of the respondents was (21±3) years old. Among the respondents, 279 (68.2%) were female, 290 (70.9%) were undergraduates, and 187 (45.7%) majored in clinical medicine. The mostly accessed ways to obtain medical information were textbooks (87.8%) and search engines (84.4%). Among Chinese literature databases, the most commonly used was China National Knowledge Infrastructure (67.7%), followed by Wanfang (54.3%). As for English literature databases, the most commonly used was PubMed (66.0%), while the proportions of respondents who used other databases was less than 1/4. As for the problems when obtaining information, 84.8% of the respondents supposed that no access to some online databases was the main problem. Obtaining information from search engine scored the highest [(3.21±1.00) points, 5 points totally] when they were asked to self-evaluate their ability to obtain medical information by different methods. In terms of training demands, the need for courses about literature authenticity and accuracy evaluation was the highest [(4.05±1.07) points, 5 points totally]. The trainings were expected to be conducted within 1-2 years after enrollment (83.9%). Training through professional courses (86.8%) was the most welcomed training form, followed by courses on MOOC (51.3%), an online course platform. More than 50% of the respondents were satisfied with the current relevant courses and trainings.Conclusion Both the students’ capability of medical information retrieval and the design of relevant trainings should be improved to better prepare the medical students for further clinical practice and scientific research.
