Abstract

Systematic ultrasound training for sonographers is essential, but the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology(ISUOG) basic training(referred to as traing) in China has not been reported yet. This paper took 30 sonographers who took part in all 3-session training from June to September 2019 as an example to describe the design and implementation of the training, to evaluate the training effect by considering the theoretical examination scores of sonographers before and after the training, to find out their satisfaction with the curriculum by questionnaire survey method, and to find out the influencing factors of their satisfaction by telephone interview of 20 of them. The results showed that the scores on the theoretical knowledge before and after training were 40(39,44) and 47(45,50), respectively. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). About 73.3% (22/30) of sonographers were satisfied with each session, and 90.0% (18/20) of sonographers interviewed believed that the training was helpful and suggested having more case presentations. The training enhanced the theoretical knowledge level of sonographers and achieved a higher degree of satisfaction, which indicated that the implementation of the training was successful.
