This study aimed to develop a competency-based global health education (GHE) program for medical students and analyze its effectiveness.
The study had a pretest-posttest control group design. The program was developed based on the eight global health competency domains for medical students and implemented for 18 hours over 6 weeks beginning in September 2023. The intervention and control groups comprised 34 students and 41 students, respectively. The analytical methods used were t-test, chi-square test, and analysis of covariance.
Experience with global health activities and pretest scores were controlled as covariates to exclude the effects of participants' general characteristics and pretest scores. The intervention group had outscored the control group on interest in a global health career and the necessity of GHE and also showed significantly higher posttest scores on global competence, global citizenship, and global health competence. Students were generally satisfied with the GHE program.
A global health competency-based GHE program effectively increases medical students' interest in global health careers, their understanding of the need for GHE, and their global competence, global citizenship, and global health competence. This study is expected to promote GHE program development and research.
本研究旨在为医学生开发基于能力的全球卫生教育(GHE)计划,并分析其效果。
该研究采用了预测试-后测试对照设计。该计划是基于医学生的全球卫生能力的八个领域制定的,并于 2023 年 9 月开始实施,共 6 周,每周 18 小时。干预组和对照组分别由 34 名学生和 41 名学生组成。使用 t 检验、卡方检验和协方差分析进行分析。
将全球卫生活动经验和预测试成绩作为协变量进行控制,以排除参与者一般特征和预测试成绩的影响。干预组在对全球卫生职业的兴趣和 GHE 的必要性方面的得分高于对照组,并且在全球能力、全球公民意识和全球卫生能力方面的后测得分也显著更高。学生对 GHE 计划普遍满意。
基于全球卫生能力的 GHE 计划可有效提高医学生对全球卫生职业的兴趣、对 GHE 的必要性的认识,以及他们的全球能力、全球公民意识和全球卫生能力。本研究有望促进 GHE 计划的发展和研究。
