Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the status quo and training needs of general practitioner (GP) job-transfer training program in Hebei Province.Methods:An online survey with self-designed questionnaire was conducted on May 2019 through WeChat among 165 trainees in the General Practice Training Center of Hebei Province. A total of 165 questionnaires were distributed and 149 were valid with an effective rate of 90.3%. The contents of the questionnaire included the basic information of the trainees, the evaluation of the current training, and the needs of the GPs′ job-transfer training.Results:Among 149 participants, there were 131 (87.9%)from the secondary hospitals or above, 146(98.0%)with bachelor′s degree or above, and 128 (85.9%)with intermediate or above professional titles. The survey showed that 72.0%(67/93)thought the main reasons affecting participation in the training were busy work load and insufficient personnel, the main problems of training were too short training duration(45.2%, 42/93), the not focused training contents(38.7%, 36/93) and lack of practice(37.6%, 35/93). In the 149 trainees, 136(91.3%) thought that the most important contents should be standardized diagnosis and treatment of common diseases; 104(69.8%), 118(79.2%), 115(77.2%) and 98(65.8%) considered that the knowledge of prevention and health-protection, first aid, latest progress and chronic disease management were needed for training; 110(73.8%)and 80(53.7%)thought the mastery of clinical practice and basic theory were needed. And 57.7% (86/149)of the trainees believed that research training was needed, and there was significant difference in the demand for research training among participants from different work units and with different professional titles (χ 2=15.371,10.625,all P<0.05). The accepted training methods were case study(53.7%, 81/149) and practical work(37.6%, 56/149). For training duration, 43.6% (65/149) thought it should not exceed 6 months and 56.4% (84/149) preferred more than 1 year; there was a significant difference in demanded training duration among trainees from different work units, with different education background and professional titles (χ 2=16.225,6.243,25.966, all P<0.05). Conclusion:We need a multi-channel and multi-level training model to establish a better job-transfer training system for general practitioners, in order to meet different training needs and to improve the effectiveness of the training.
