Abstract

Objective This study aims to investigate the awareness of and continuing medical education (CME) needs among primary medical staff involved in medical assistance programs. The findings offer valuable insights for enhancing medical assistance initiatives. Methods Starting from August 2022, we distributed a questionnaire within WeChat groups to collect data on the awareness and requirements of CME among medical staff in the Guangxi and Guangdong regions. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis using the χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results The survey included 151 respondents from dispatched hospitals and 930 from assisted hospitals participating in the medical assistance program. Significantly higher proportions of individuals from assisted hospitals, compared to those from dispatched hospitals, believed that the medical assistance programs had a substantial impact on medical technology, talent development, and educational mentorship [636(68.4%) vs. 75(49.7%), 551(59.2%) vs. 59(39.1%), and 545(58.6%) vs. 51(33.8%), respectively, all P<0.001]. Regarding the participation of doctors with moderate clinical skills from dispatched hospitals in medical assistance, 109(72.2%) from dispatched hospitals and 750(80.6%) from assisted hospitals believed they should contribute to ″medical education″ (P< 0.05), while 58 (38.4%) from dispatched hospitals and 184(19.8%) from assisted hospitals believed that such doctors ″should not be deployed″ for medical assistance (P<0.05). Among the 588 staff members in assisted hospitals with more than 10 years of service, 505(85.9%) expressed a need for ″knowledge/skills training,″ compared to 273(79.8%) among the 342 staff members with 10 or fewer years of service (P< 0.05). Conclusions There are differences in the cognitions of medical assistance between dispatched hospitals staff and assisted hospitals staff, and there are also differences in CME needs of assisted hospital staff with different lengths of service. Efforts should be made to increase the emphasis placed on CME by the dispatched hospitals staff, and to actively carry out medical theoretical knowledge and skill training based on the educational needs of grassroots medical staff, in order to further improve the effectiveness of medical assistance.
