The aim of this study was to identify, assess, and reach a consensus on the professional competencies that optometrists must acquire during their undergraduate training at the University of Valladolid. The results obtained may be useful in the revision of the current curriculum.
A three round Delphi study was carried out with the participation of 116 participants grouped in 7 panels. In the first round, competencies were identified through an open-ended question and their frequency calculated. In the successive 2nd and 3rd rounds, the consensus and stability of each competency was established.
A total of 56 professional competencies were identified, with 43 of them (77%) achieving a consensus among participants, of which the highest scores were obtained by the competencies that correspond to health functions of primary visual care. Out of the 13 competencies without consensus, for 11 of them this was due to the significant differences in assessment among the consulted participants; for 8 competencies (14%) response stability was found, while neither consensus nor stability were reached in 5 (9%) of the identified competencies.
The results obtained with this Delphi study provide a set of relevant competencies for updating the curriculum of the university Degree in Optics and Optometry at the University of Valladolid, improving its suitability to current and future professional reality.
本研究旨在确定、评估并达成共识,即视光师在巴利亚多利德大学本科培训期间必须获得哪些专业能力。研究结果可能有助于修订现行课程。
采用三轮德尔菲法,共有 116 名参与者分为 7 个小组参与研究。在第一轮中,通过开放式问题确定能力,并计算其出现频率。在随后的第二轮和第三轮中,确定了每项能力的共识和稳定性。
共确定了 56 项专业能力,其中 43 项(77%)在参与者中达成共识,得分最高的是与初级视觉保健健康功能相对应的能力。在没有达成共识的 13 项能力中,其中 11 项是由于咨询参与者之间的评估差异很大;8 项能力(14%)存在响应稳定性,而 5 项(9%)既没有达成共识也没有达到稳定性。
通过这项德尔菲研究获得的结果为更新巴利亚多利德大学视光学学位课程提供了一套相关能力,提高了其对当前和未来专业现实的适用性。
