Much is known about outcomes and content of training programs in blood banking, but only a limited amount of formal research has been done on the outcomes required for a postgraduate training program aimed at medical doctors working in clinical practice.
A formal qualitative and semi-quantitative research approach was followed to determine and test the factors considered important in determining the outcomes for clinicians completing a postgraduate diploma in transfusion medicine, and consisted of a literature survey, followed by semi-structured interviews and a Delphi survey.
After a series of semi-structured interviews, based on an extensive literature survey, 42 factors were identified. These factors were categorized into eight groups and tested in a Delphi survey to determine which of these would be essential outcomes of a postgraduate training program in transfusion medicine. After three rounds of the Delphi survey, consensus was reached on 27 factors and stability on 14 factors. On one factor, neither consensus nor stability could be reached. Twenty-six factors were identified as essential outcomes.
This research provides support for the essential outcomes to be considered in any postgraduate training program in transfusion medicine aimed at clinicians.
关于血液银行培训项目的结果和内容已有很多了解，但针对临床实践中工作的医生的研究生培训项目所需结果的正式研究却非常有限。
采用正式的定性和半定量研究方法来确定和测试在确定完成输血医学研究生文凭的临床医生的结果中被认为重要的因素，包括文献调查，随后进行半结构化访谈和德尔菲调查。
在基于广泛文献调查进行一系列半结构化访谈后，确定了42个因素。这些因素被分为八组，并在德尔菲调查中进行测试，以确定哪些将是输血医学研究生培训项目的基本结果。经过三轮德尔菲调查，就27个因素达成了共识，14个因素达到了稳定性。对于一个因素，既未达成共识也未达到稳定性。确定了26个因素为基本结果。
本研究为任何针对临床医生的输血医学研究生培训项目中应考虑的基本结果提供了支持。
