Abstract:
Nine hundred and forty nine general physicians in Beijing urban area received surgical skill assessment in 2008.The assessment results of five surgical skills (taking out stitches,changing dressings,skin suture,knot with gloves and wearing isolation gown) were analyzed with the relations of different gender,age,educational background,professional title,specialty,hospital grade,length of service and times of test taking.The average score of the total assessment was 71.The score was lower in the practitioners who were male,older than 50 years,higher educational background,lower professional tide,more than 2 times of test taking,and who were specialized in traditional Chinese medicine,ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology and emergency medicine.Results suggest that the levels of surgical skills in general practitioners are generally low and periodical training is needed.
