The execution of composed educational programs for general practitioners is one of the most common methods of continuing medical education. This research project aims to evaluate one of these programs.
For this purpose, a pre- and post-test design was developed. The subjects consisted of 45 participants. They were tested in two stages: before and after the program. A questionnaire was also used to gather the participants' views on four variables including teachers' behavior, the degree of achieving the objective of the program, objective of the learner, and satisfaction with the program.
Based on the results of this study, the mean scores of the participants' knowledge increased from 10.05 (pre test) to 12.61 (post test), (p<0.0001). In addition, the results showed that the teachers' behavior and satisfaction with the program were rated by participants as the highest and least, respectively.
The results of this research are indicative of the effectiveness of the composed educational program in continuing medical education. Nevertheless, such programs are recommended to be further evaluated with more rigorous design.
为全科医生开展综合性教育项目是继续医学教育最常见的方法之一。本研究项目旨在评估其中一个此类项目。
为此,制定了一项前后测设计。研究对象包括45名参与者。他们在两个阶段接受测试:项目实施前和实施后。还使用了一份问卷来收集参与者对四个变量的看法,这些变量包括教师行为、项目目标达成程度、学习者目标以及对项目的满意度。
基于本研究结果,参与者的知识平均得分从10.05(前测)提高到12.61(后测),(p<0.0001)。此外,结果表明,参与者对教师行为的评价最高,对项目满意度的评价最低。
本研究结果表明综合性教育项目在继续医学教育中是有效的。然而,建议对这类项目采用更严格的设计进行进一步评估。
