Abstract:
Objective To understand the status quo of pre-deployment training for PLA peacekeeping medical unit and to propose suggestion for improvement. Methods Questionnaire survey, spot investigation and seminars were used in this study. The participants included those who had attended the pre-deployment training for PLA peacekeeping medical unit from five military area commands, namely, Shenyang, Beijing, Lanzhou, Chengdu, and Jinan, and the international military medical students in Second Military Medical Universitiy. Microsoft Excel and SPSS 21.0 were used for data processing and analysis. Results PLA commands of different levels all attached great importance to peacekeeping health service, and the candidates for peacekeeping were of high quality, but their English communication ability needed improvement. Pre-deployment training was carried out by different units themselves, with poor training facilities, lack of experienced teachers, text books, and scientific test evaluation system. Conclusion More attention is needed on English communication training for PLA peacekeeping medical unit. A training base for PLA peacekeeping mission should be established, and the training should be carried out by a third party in a standard and intensive manner.
