Abstract: Objective To investigate the current situation of laboratory safety protection behavior,occupational self-efficacy and occupational protection attitude of medical undergraduates,explore the mediating effect of occupational protection attitude between occupational self-efficacy and laboratory safety protection behavior. Methods From August to December 2023,1 073 medical undergraduates of two medical universities in Tianjin were investigated by the general data questionnaire,laboratory safety protection behavior,occupational self-efficacy and occupational protection attitude scales,and the data were analyzed. Results The laboratory safety behavior score of medical students was (127.55±19.49)points,which was in the upper level. The scores of occupational self-efficacy and occupational protection attitude were (90.91±17.15) and (65.64±10.47)points,respectively. The laboratory safety protection behavior,occupational self-efficacy and occupational protection attitude of medical undergraduates were all correlated between each pair(all P<0.01). The occupational protective attitude of medical undergraduates had a partial mediating effect between occupational self-efficacy and laboratory safety protective behavior,and the mediating effect accounted for 29.30% of the total effect. Conclusion The occupational protection attitude and occupational self-efficacy of medical undergraduates are important predictors of laboratory safety protective behavior,and occupational protection attitude partly mediates the effect of occupational self-efficacy on laboratory safety protective behavior. The establishment and training of early laboratory safety concept from theory to practice is a necessary means to improve the safe medical behavior of medical students.
