Abstract:
Objective ①To understand and evaluate the satisfaction of the students and graduates of Macao Polytechnic Institute's biomedical laboratory technology program in the professional learning, college support, self-evaluation and college life happiness through a questionnaire survey. ②To compare the satisfaction differences among the students in different grades, the students with different reasons for applying for this major, and the students who have different future plans after graduation.
Methods All students were selected in the 2017/2018 school year, together with 17 graduates, a total number of 96 participants. To investigate the satisfaction in 4 aspects: namely, professional learning, college support, self-evaluation and happiness in college life through a questionnaire survey.

Comparing students of different grades, of which grade 3 students have the lowest average satisfaction scores in terms of professional learning satisfaction, self-evaluation, college support and happiness in college life. Except for professional learning satisfaction, all other differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Comparing different reasons why the students chose this program in the satisfaction scores, we found that those students who chose the program with the reason of "Don't care" (or chose randomly) have the lowest satisfaction score in all 4 aspects of the questionnaire content. No statistical significance was found in the relationship between the career plans in the future and the satisfaction scores in all four aspects.
