Research on the Drivers of Entrepreneurship Education Performance of Medical Students in the Digital Age

Abstract

COVID-19 has made the entire society pay more attention to medical students training. Medicine development is inseparable from the spirit of innovation, focusing on cultivating medical students' innovative awareness and improving entrepreneurship education performance, which has an irreplaceable effect on both the students themselves and the society. This study is based on the ridge regression model to study the driving factors of the entrepreneurship education performance of medical students. Compared with traditional multiple regression, it can improve the consistency of parameter estimation and obtain more realistic results. Based on a large sample of empirical survey data of 24,677 medical students in China, this study analyzed the driving factors of the entrepreneurship education performance of medical students and found that medical students of different genders have differences in entrepreneurship education performance; the digital economy impacts entrepreneurship education performance of medical students; entrepreneurship course, entrepreneurship faculty, entrepreneurship competition, entrepreneurship practice, and entrepreneurship policy have a driving effect on the entrepreneurship education performance of medical students. Meanwhile, the impact of entrepreneurship policy is the most obvious, followed by entrepreneurship practice and entrepreneurship competition, followed by entrepreneurship course and entrepreneurship faculty.

Another study in Thailand also confirms the importance of technological skills as hard skills for entrepreneurial leadership among nurses (Udomluck, 2021).…”

The Impact of Entrepreneurship Competitions on Entrepreneurial Competence of Chinese College Students

Students were asked to what extent they agreed with three items referring to entrepreneurship competition, for example, “Entrepreneurship competition projects are easier to land.” The scale ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).…”

“…Five items were extracted on the entrepreneurial practices scale used by Higgins et al (2018) and Long et al (2021) that captured entrepreneurial practice in higher education settings on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree; 5 = strongly agree). One example item is: “Entrepreneurial practice is supported by special entrepreneurial funds.”…”

A total of 187,914 questionnaires were collected, and 17,150 invalid questionnaires, such as short answer time and invalid school names, were excluded, of which 170,764 were valid, accounting for 90.87% [82,83]. According to the research theme, this study screened the data and finally selected 20,134 college students who had started a social entrepreneurship studio as the research sample.…”
