Abstract:
Objective:To explore the feasibility and application effect of Mini-CEX in pediatric clinical practice.Methods:Residents who received standardized residency training in pediatrics department of Peking University Third Hospital from March 2016 to September 2017 were selected as research objects. The clinical ability of the residents were evaluated by application of the Mini-CEX structured form. Its effectiveness as a training guide and assessment method was also evaluated. SPSS 25.0 was used for t test. Results:The Mini-CEX scale was refined according to the characteristics of pediatrics. In this study, a total of 36 residents participated in the evaluation and 110 cases were completed by introducing Mini-CEX structured form in 7 examinations. Compared with 2016, the Mini-CEX scores of the residents in the 2017 showed different degrees of improvement in information gathering [(7.4±0.9) vs. (7.7±0.7)], clinical examination [(7.5±1.1) vs. (7.6±0.9)], clinical judgment [(7.5±0.9) vs. (7.6±0.9)], organizational effectiveness [(7.4±0.9) vs. (7.7±0.9)], and overall clinical competency [(7.5±0.9) vs. (7.7±0.9)], without significant differences ( P > 0.05). A total of 17 residents completed the assessments more than or equal to 3 times. Compared with 2016, the mean scores of the 17 individuals' Mini-CEX scales in 2017 were significantly improved in terms of information gathering, organizational effectiveness, and overall clinical competency. Conclusion:The results have shown that the Mini-CEX scale is simple and easy to operate, it maybe helpful to improve the clinical ability of pediatric residents, and it can be used as a method to evaluate the clinical ability of pediatric residents.
