    2022, 42 (7):  577-580.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20210817-01034
    Abstract ( 146 )   PDF (821KB) ( 109 )  
    Objective This paper analyzes equating methods applied in Standardized Competence Test for undergraduates of clinical medicine based on classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) in order to explore a more suitable equating method. Methods The research uses four equating methods based on the CTT and six equating methods based on the IRT.CTT equating methods include Tucker observation score linear equating method,Levine observation score linear equating method, equipercentile equating smoothing method and equating standard error equating unsmoothed method. While in the one-parameter model and two-parameter model of IRT, three calibration methods are used which are linking separate calibration, concurrent calibration and fixed Item Parameter Calibration. The stability of the 10 equating results is analyzed by the equating standard error. Results The results show that the equating standard error of CTT method is 0.7~1.6, while the equating standard error of IRT method is 0.2~0.6, IRT equating standard error is smaller than CTT equating method. Among four CTT equating methods, the equating standard error of Tucker observation score linear equating method is 0.7 as the smallest one, the error of equipercentile equating method is 1.6 as the largest one. Among six IRT equating methods, the result of one-parameter model is better than that of two-parameter model and the error of fixed item parameter calibration is the smallest one in one-parameter model, which the equating standard error is 0.2. Conclusions The fixed item parameter calibration in one-parameter model of IRT can be selected as the equating method of this test. Through equating, the score of year 2 is improved, and the eligibility criteria remain unchanged, which effectively achieves the score comparability and ensures the fairness of the test.

    Duan Ruiyang, Zhang Jingyi, Liu Fang, Xu Shandong
    2022, 42 (7):  604-608.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20211130-01466
    Abstract ( 64 )   PDF (837KB) ( 72 )  
    In order to accomplish the fundamental task of establishing moral integrity in cultivation, Peking University has constructed a “second head teacher” system. In essence, establishment of moral integrity in cultivation is aiming for shaping of college students' values and moral behavior. Based on the situation since the implementation of the second head teacher system in school of Public Health, Peking University, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with 7 students from January 2021 to January 2022. The interview outline is designed based on social learning theory. After coding the interview text data of more than 50000 words, we extracted five themes of the education mechanism of the second head teacher system, including the establishment of trust relationship, the strengthening of trust relationship, the role of example in the process of building virtue and cultivating people, the internalization process of the role of building virtue and cultivating people, and students' feelings about the second head teacher system. The results show that it is easier for students to build a sense of trust by actively approaching students, making students feel valued and having something in common between students and teachers. A good teacher-student relationship based on a solid trust relationship helps students to follow teachers' role modeling. The role modeling of teachers may further promote students to actively accept the values transmitted by the “second head teacher” and internalize them into their own goals, so as to continuously strengthen their positive behavior and have a positive and a long-term impact on students' development. To sum up, this study analyzes the internal mechanism of the “second head teacher” system in the process of building morality and cultivating people, confirms its educational effect and has a positive reference for other medical schools to further strengthen the work of building morality of medical students.

Fisher's exact test was used for statistical analysis. Results It was found that 97.4% (114/117) and 93.2% (109/117) examiners thought the candidates met their expectations in traditional offline interview in 2019 and in the online interview in 2020 respectively without statistical difference (P=0.215) and 84.6%(99/117) were satisfied with the retrial by online intervies. The examiner gave the highest score (2.53 points) on “sharing the screen to play the pre recorded video with non-standard clinical operation links, and the candidates can watch it and correct it synchronously”. The examiner thinks that the top three problems in the interview were as follows: Difficult to directly acknowlege examinee's personality and mental health [78.6% (92/117)], difficult to evaluate the examinee's clinical skill [77.8% (91/117)], sponge on achivability of network and hardware equipment [76.1% (89/117)] and it is impossible to directly observe the examinee's individual characteristics [76.1% (89/117)]. There are 61.5% (72 / 117) of the examiners believed that the online remote interview can not replace the offline interview. Conclusions The retrial examiners are satisfied with the candidates through remote interview as a retrial method. The quality of the candidats in the online interview is not significantly different with those joining offline interview. It is considered by the examiner the best way to assess clinical skills for candidates to watch clinical operation videos and correct errors synchronously. However, the remote online interview cannot completely replace the traditional offline interview. The remote interview still needs to enhance the pertinence of the investigation of the individual characteristics of candidates and a standardized clinical skill assessment methods and network support are needed.

    Su Chang, Zhou Menglin, Chen Danqing
    2022, 42 (7):  665-669.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20211025-01311
    Abstract ( 56 )   PDF (804KB) ( 24 )  
    Objective To investigate and analyze the situation of midwifery skills on dystocia among employees from different hospitals and related medical staff in Zhejiang Province. Methods Totally 1 162 in-service staff from 154 hospitals in Zhejiang Province in 2021 joined the project in 2021. Chi-squared test was used to compare the situation of midwifery skills on dystocia from different hospitals. The results were expected to improve the management capacity on dystocia for midwives in these hospitals. Results Among the 154 hospitals, the overall conducting rates of midwifery skills were different, management of shoulder dystocia and forceps operation/fetal head absorption were most likely to be provided by hospitals [with the proportions as 54.5% (84/154), 55.2% (85/154), respectively], and other skills were less provided; and the conducting rate of three midwifery skills were higher in Level-III hospitals than those in Level-II hospitals, including forceps operation/fetal head absorption[68.0%(51/75) vs. 43.9%(29/66)], vaginal delivery of twins[29.3%(22/75)vs. 7.6%(5/66)] and abdominal version for breech presentation [36.0%(27/75) vs.12.1%(8/66)], the differences of were all significant (P<0.05). As for midwives and obstetricians, the mastery rates of different skills varied. However, 26.7%(310/1 162) of them actually do not master any skills. Conclusions The conducting rates of midwifery skills on dystocia were not satisfying among hospitals in Zhejiang Province, and the managing capacity for dystocia of the midwives and obstetricians needs to be improved, the measures should include reasonable resources allocation, supporting first and second-level hospitals, strengthening the standardized training and clinical practice of midwives based on an individualized strategy for midwives with different training experience.
