Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study to assess memory and concentration skills among first year medical students, the study was conducted in September 2020. A sample of 103 students participated in the study by filling of an online questionnaire modified from the Study Skills Inventory (SSI). Regarding memory skills a score less than 30 was considered not adequate, while regarding concentration skills a score less than 35 was considered not adequate. Results: Males were 68% and females were 32%. We found that 59.2% students study less than 3 hours, 25.2% students study between 3-6 hours and 15.5% students study more than 6 hours. The mean score of the students for concentration skills was 36.45 and was 32.40 for memory skills. Regarding concentration skills 35% students had a non-adequate score and 65% students had adequate score, regarding memory skills 28.2% students had a non-adequate score and 71.8% students had adequate score. There is a statistically significant association between concentration skills and memory skills with studying hours. There was a statistically significant moderate positive correlation between concentration skill score and the memory skill score of the students total score. Conclusion: About 75% of 1st year medical students have adequate concentration and memory skills. The students who study for 3-6 hours daily have the least mean score of both skills. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
