Methods In April 2021, a total of 482 first-year to third-year medical students in a medical university were enrolled in this study. The self-directed learning scale and the self-designed medical education resource recommendation system demand preference (including content preference and use preference) questionnaire were used to conduct the research. Logistic regression analysis and linear regression analysis were used to explore the correlation between the demand preference of information resource recommendation system and self-directed learning ability of medical students. Results A total of 277(57.5%) have used the medical education resource recommendation system. The logistic regression analysis identified that the interpersonal communication dimension of self-directed learning (OR=0.895, 95%CI: 0.824-0.972, P=0.008) affected the use of medical students′ information resource recommendation system. The order of content preference of medical students′ information resources recommendation system was professional learning resources, career development resources, extended learning resources, entertainment and relaxation resources, and extracurricular activities resources. The interpersonal communication ability of medical students was positively correlated with the expectation degree of five educational resources by linear regression analysis, with linear regression coefficient β of 0.172, 0.153, 0.308, 0.297, 0.336, all P<0.05. Conclusions Medical students have a positive attitude towards the use of information resource recommendation system, with professional learning resources as the primary preference. The use and content preference of recommendation system are related to self-directed learning ability of medical students. Promoting the construction of medical education information resources is conducive to promoting the development of medical students′ self-directed learning ability.

Methods Questionnaire survey was used in this study. From February to March 2022, residency trainees from the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University were selected for the study, the depression, anxiety and stress symptoms of whom were assessed by the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the effects of residency characteristics, sleep and exercise on their mental health were analyzed, and the relevant data were subjected to chi-square tests and regression analysis. Results A total of 386 valid questionnaires were returned. Among professional degree masters (n=201), unit-commissioned trainees (n=161), and social trainees (n=24), the proportion of trainees with anxiety symptoms was 104(51.7%), 78(48.4%), and 5(20.8%), respectively. The percentages of trainees with depression or anxiety symptoms in their own speciality department (n=251) were 119(47.4%), 134(53.4%), which were higher than 45(33.3%) and 53(39.3%) of the trainees who were rotating ((n=135). The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Among resident trainees, sleep duration was found to significantly influence depression [OR (95% CI) = 0.298(0.163-0.546), anxiety [OR (95% CI) = 0.369(0198-0.685), and stress [OR (95% CI) = 0.292(0.143-0.595)]. The frequency of exercises had an important impact on anxiety symptoms [OR (95% CI) =0.369(0.164-0.831)]. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions The high detection rate of mental health problems in residency trainees must be taken seriously. Sleep and exercise are conducive to improving their mental health; mental health problems are more prominent among trainees studying in their own specialty department and professional degree masters, to which timely attention should be given.

Investigation on regidency training of general practice residents in affiliated hospitals of colleges and universities in China Qi Dianjun, Jiang Nan, Yu Xiaosong 2023, 43 (4):  298-302.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20220610-00763 Abstract ( 82 )   PDF (809KB) ( 56 )   Objective To investigate the current situation and development trend of standardized training for general practitioners in affiliated hospitals of colleges and universities in China. Methods In December 2019, a questionnaire survey was conducted in all 189 clinical medical colleges in China. The content of the questionnaire includes the setting of teaching institutions, teachers, training forms and effects. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results. Results In 2010, 2017 and 2019, the numbers of colleges and universities carring out standardized training for general practitioners in mainland China were 35, 68 and 117 respectively, and the numbers of training centers were 42, 88 and 169, respectively. The region with the largest number of colleges and universities developing training centers was the eastern region (35 colleges and universities), with the least being the northwest region (9 colleges and universities). In 2019, 472(24.5%) of the 1 929 teachers in the training centers had participated in the publication of medical education articles, 304(15.8%) had participated in medical education projects, and 543(28.1%) had accumulated more than 3 months of work experience in community health service centers. Among 169 training centers in 2019, 91(53.8%) used lecture-based learning as the only teaching method, and formative assessment was absent in up to 80(47.3%) training centers. Conclusions Although the residency training for general practice in colleges and universities has developed rapidly, there are still many problems and challenges. For example, it has not been popularized in colleges and universities, with unbalanced development of different regions and different types of colleges and universities, as well as college teachers lacking community practice experience, and community teachers lacking teaching and research experience, the absence of formative assessment, etc. In the next stage, the affiliated hospitals of colleges and universities in China should continue to expand the scale of residency training, strengthen faculty development, and constantly enrich teaching evaluation methods, so as to better play a leading role in its academic development.

But there exists no training standards nor evaluating methods. This study aims to establish a standardized training system for strabismus surgery, and to improve the training quality of strabismus surgery during the standardized training of residents through literature research and expert consultation. Two fundamental surgical practices are standardized into 7 steps and 4 phases throughout the operational training. The levels of trainee are evaluated during each phase and at the final stage. The program application effect is evaluated through test satisfaction investigation between trainees and the untrained. A total of 36 students from grade 2019 in the Ophthalmology Department from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the training group. The overall satisfaction rate of the trainees was 83.3%(30/36). It was considered a higher level of strabismus operational procedures than other sub-operations after training by 88.9% (32/36) of the trainees. At the accomplishment of training, 33.3% (12/36) of the trainees were able to complete 2 operation methods from the training, which is higher than the 3.8% (1/26) of the untrained students from grade 2018. There was 44.4% (16/36) of the trainees who showed intentions for or already under the specialized training of strabismus and pediatric ophthalmology, which was higher than the 3.8% (1/26) of the untrained students from grade 2018. The establishment of the strabismus standardized surgery evaluation system can provide strong support for the standardized training of high-level ophthalmology residents and helps improving their proficiency of the basic methods of strabismus surgery, as well as other related practices.

The fitting, reliability and local independence of the model were verified through the result of TAS and SAT, and the correlation between the teaching capability, the students′ practical ability and the examination results is calculated. Results Both types of questionnaires were modeled after being converted into 2 category items. The 13 items of TAS can form a 1 factor 2 parameters model. The model has good fitness (P=0.206), reliability (r=0.853) and local independence. The level of students′ practical ability measured by the model is significantly related to the students′ performance in the examination (r=0.442,P<0.001). The 12 items of the SAT questionnaire can form a 1 factor 4 parameters model. The model has good fitness (P=0.237), reliability (r=0.952) and local independence. The teacher′s teaching level measured by the model is significantly related to the student′s performance in the examination (r=0.197, P=0.006). Conclusions On the basis of the 2 category items, the IRT model can be constructed to evaluate the professional-skills-teaching level of teachers and students′ practical ability. After verification, the model has good evaluation effect and can be considered for promotion and application. References | Related Articles | Metrics
