PubMed is the most commonly used database, followed by UpToDate clinical consultant and then Wanfang/Weipu and CNKI. The score of learning anxiety in females are significantly higher than that of males. The analysis of the influencing factors of self-regulated learning shows that the students with better family economic conditions have higher score of self-regulated learning ability. According to grade classification, the total and strategy score of self-regulated learning ability in the fifth year are significantly higher than those in the sixth year. The self-regulated learning ability of excellent students is significantly higher than that of poor students in motivation, strategy and the total score.
