Abstract:
Objective:To investigate mentor-mentee dual evaluation of the current status of mentor competency of clinical and translational research mentors, and provide the basis for mentor training focused on the mentor competences.Methods:A total of 121 clinical and translational research mentors and 170 mentees from Peking Union Medical College Hospital were enrolled. The Chinese version of the Mentor Competency Assessment (MCA) questionnaire was used to evaluate the mentor competency, including maintaining effective communication, aligning expectations, assessing understanding, fostering independence, addressing diversity, promoting professional development total 6 parts with 26 sub-items. The Likert scale was used to quantitatively evaluate the clinical and translational research mentor competency by mentor-mentee dual evaluations. And the composition and training needs of clinical and translational research mentors were investigated. SPSS 25.0 was used for t-test. Results:Seventy percent (119/170) of mentees considered the mentor guidance was very helpful, and 78.5% (95/121) of the mentors considered it necessary to carry out the mentor training. The mentee evaluation of mentor competency was significantly higher than that of mentor self-evaluation [total score (162.35±23.59) vs. (154.80±19.81), P < 0.01]. And the excellent rate of 26 sub-items by mentees and mentors were 100.0%(170/170) and 46.3%(56/121) respectively. The mentors and mentees shared the agreement of the strengths on trust-based relationship and encouraging mentees, and weaknesses on taking into account the possible prejudices in mentor-mentee relationship. Conclusion:The clinical and translational research mentors have already had good competences, but mentor training is still highly warranted. It's expected that to carry out targeted mentor training and assessment according to the mentor's competences will help to improve the construction of the medical talents training system.
