Survey on the mentoring relationship between mentor and medical postgraduates in an affiliated hospital of a certain university from the perspective of students Chen Huarui, Hu Jianbo, Wen Youyu, Ji Yongtao, Chen Junfang, Chen Shaohua 2024, 44 (3):  203-206.  DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.cn115259-20230320-00289 Abstract ( 65 )   PDF (748KB) ( 58 )   Objective To investigate the current state of mentoring relationship among medical postgraduates, providing insights for optimizing postgraduate mentorship. Methods A self-designed survey questionnaire covered 491 medical postgraduates from grade 2019 to 2021 at an affiliated hospital of a university in Zhejiang Province from March to May 2022, in order to understand the features of their mentoring relationship. Rank sum test is applied to statistically process the survey results. Results A total of 456 valid questionnaires were collected as a result. Out of the participants, 252(55.3%) postgraduates reported communicating with their mentors at least once a week. Furthermore, 389(85.3%) postgraduates were satisfied with the current status of the relationship, and 445(97.6%) mainly focused on academic communication with their mentors. The adequacy of guidance and communication among mentors aged 35 to 45 was 5 (4, 5), which was higher than 4 (3, 5) in the age group of 56 to 60, and the difference was statistically significant (H=3.23, P=0.013). The two primary reasons for the occurrence of guidance problems were identified as mentor being overwhelmed with busy schedules and lacking guidance [338(74.1%)] and students not actively seeking educational support [205(45.0%)]. Effective strategies to improve mentoring relationships included providing more targeted academic guidance for postgraduates [321(70.4%)], encouraging students to be more proactive in seeking guidance from mentors [291(63.8%)], and creating a conductive learning atmosphere through interaction and communication between mentors [318(69.7%)]. Conclusions Medical postgraduates have good communication with their mentors, and the majority were satisfied with the current state of their relationships. However, communication content between them was relatively one-dimensional. Both mentors and postgraduates share the responsibility for problems occurring during mentorship. Improving communication frequency, expanding communication content, strengthening interaction, and creating a good atmosphere were important directions for optimizing mentoring relationship.

Methods Between November 2021 and December 2022, the survey was conducted among fresh graduates and previous graduates from 5 universities. This was followed by semi-structured interviews held in March 2023 with 11 specialists working in the field of public health education. The investigation and interviews were mainly centered around three key areas: the current situation of curriculum design, practice teaching, and standardized training provided to public health physicians. Frequency and composition analysis were used to analyze the count data in the questionnaire, and the weighted average score was analyzed for the sorted data. Results Based on the QuestionStar system, 218 questionnaires for fresh graduates and 207 questionnaires for previous graduates were collected, respectively. Among fresh graduates, 95(43.6%) expressed average or dissatisfaction with the curriculum, mainly reflected in the practical course content [69(72.6%)], the allocation of theoretical and practical class hours [53(55.8%)], and the theoretical course content [51(53.7%)]. Fresh graduates believed that the most rewarding skills are professional practical skills [194(89.0%)]. The main problems encountered by previous graduates in their work were a lack of interdisciplinary knowledge [118(57.0%)]. Experts emphasized the necessity of establishing a core competency system for MPH and implementing specialized training. They also proposed suggestions for improvement based on the shortcomings of knowledge and skills teaching and the development of competence. Conclusions Graduates have the highest demand for reform in the content of theoretical and practical courses, and the most urgent need for learning professional practice. The lack of interdisciplinary knowledge has become the primary ability problem that affects problem-solving in their work. The acceptance of standardized training for public health physicians is not high. Medical colleges and universities should strengthen the reform focus of MPH training: (1)Establish a multidisciplinary and practical oriented curriculum system; (2)Collaborate and strengthen the cultivation of practical abilities throughout the entire process in all aspects; (3)Explore the reform of integrating MPH with standardized training for public health physicians in different directions.
