Abstract:
Objective To investigate the capacity and training needs of the community general practice mentors in different areas of Shanghai.Methods General practice mentors from community health centers,who attended a municipal training program in Shanghai during July 2012 to October 2012,were participated in the survey with a self-designed questionnaire.The general condition,basic ability (clinical skill,teaching ability and professional development),motivation and needs of training were investigated.The factors affecting the willingness of training were analyzed.Results Among 742 mentors receiving the survey,259 were from the urban area,174 from rural-urban continuum and 309 from rural area.The academic degree in urban group was relatively higher:17 out of 257 (6.6％) holding master degree.The ratio of participants who had received standardized training in urban,rural-urban and rural areas was 33.2％,25.3％,37.4％,respectively.The personal quality and communication skills in urban group were significantly higher than those in rural-urban continuum and rural group (18.58 ± 2.49,17.89 ± 2.69,17.85 ±2.34,P ＜0.05).The clinical skill (12.31 ± 1.98,11.95 ±2.02,11.52 ± 1.81),teaching ability (11.99 ± 2.62,11.63 ± 2.86,11.12 ± 2.77) and professional development (6.42 ± 1.61,6.36 ± 1.55,5.61 ± 1.38) in urban group were all significantly poorer than those in other two groups.The main purpose of participation in training was to improve medical knowledge and clinical skills in three groups (70.8％,74.0％,80.4％,respectively),followed by the need for community teaching.The rural group has higher training requirements in improving clinical diagnosis and treatment ability (75.3％,80.1％,85.5％,respectively in three groups),doctor-patient communication ability (38.0％,44.0％,50.7％,respectively) and community preventive care ability (29.4％,30.7％,42.8％,respectively).The urban group had much more requirements in scientific research training (38.8％,34.9％,14.1％,respectively).Logistic regression analysis showed that doctors with supports from the leadership (OR =2.688,P ＜ 0.05) and with less working stress (OR =2.241,P ＜ 0.05) were more willing to participate in mentor training.Conclusion There are discrepancies in basic ability and training needs of community general practice mentors in different areas of Shanghai,so we should develop specific or targeted training program in the future.
