ObjectiveTo investigate the difference of grant and aid systems for graduates of clinical medicine of "985" universities in China, in order to provide references for further advancing the system in West China. MethodsThree "985" universities were selected from each part of China including eastern China, central China and western China. A structured questionnaire was used to investigate the administrative departments of graduate study. The following data were included: grant extraction structure, academic scholarship coverage, living subsidies, three indexes of post allowance, etc. Excel software was used to summarize data, and then descriptive analysis was conducted to analyze the relevant data. ResultsThe grant systems for graduate students was mainly composed of three parts including financial allocation, social support and school aid in clinical medical colleges of "985" universities in China. The doctor scholarship coverage reached 100% in each region, while the coverage of academic scholarship for postgraduates, whole life subsidy levels of graduate students and "Three Helps" job coverage ratio were presented in the following trend: eastern China > central China > western China. ConclusionCompared with the grant and aid systems for graduate students of clinical medicine of "985" Universities in eastern and central China, the graduate grant in western China has the following problems, such as less coverage, lack of social support resources, imperfect grant systems without incentive mechanism. All these problems are needed to be further solved in future.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the reliability and validity of the Quality of Working Life Scale (QWL7-32). MethodsThe QWL7-32 scale was used to survey 487 drilling workers. The presence of chronic diseases was regarded as an effector for evaluating physical health, and the result of SCL-90 measurement was regarded as an effector for evaluating psychological health. The reliability and validity of the scale were statistically analyzed. ResultsThe results of the Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.713, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.920, and the Splithalf reliability coefficient was 0.942. The result of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the construct validity of scale was good, and the accumulative rate of 7 variances was 62.59%. The results of correlation analysis and t test showed that the validity of scale criterion was also good. In QWL7-32 scale, each dimension showed a good correlation with its relevant item but poor correlation with any other items. ConclusionThe QWL7-32 has a good reliability and validity.
