Data about the competencies needed for physicians in obstetrics and gynecology (O&G) is currently insufficient. The aim of this study is to define the competence profile needed in this sector for daily professional activity, in order to account for these criteria in future recruitment.
The modified requirement-tracking questionnaire (R-track) was sent to 307 physicians working in the field of O&G with different training levels and practice locations. The R-track is designed to assess professional competence profiles and contains 66 items covering the following eight competence areas: "Mental abilities", "Social sensibility", "Psychomotor and multitasking abilities", "Solutions orientation", "Social interactive competences", "Personality traits", "Verbal competences" and "Resistance capacity". The mean scores of single items and competence areas were calculated. Results were compared between gender, training level, and place of practice.
The participation rate was 65.5%, with 201 physicians returning the questionnaire. In this sample, 50.2% of them were in training and 49.8% were practicing O&G specialists. The proportion of physicians working in a hospital setting was 64.7% while 30.3% worked in private practice. The competence areas "Social sensibility" and "Psychomotor & multitasking abilities" appear to be the most important for daily professional activity. At the item level, "Stress resistance", followed by "Workload management" and "Tactfulness" were considered as the most valuable characteristics. Differences between gender, level of training, and place of practice were not significant.
The identified competence profile could serve as a basis for developing a new method of O&G residency selection. In addition, such a profile could help medical students to decide on a professional specialization at a very early stage by comparing their personal competence profile with the one in the field or with their mentors.
目前关于妇产科医生所需能力的数据不足。本研究的目的是确定该领域日常专业活动所需的能力概况,以便在未来招聘中考虑这些标准。
将经过修改的需求跟踪问卷(R-track)发送给307名从事妇产科领域工作、具有不同培训水平和执业地点的医生。R-track旨在评估专业能力概况,包含66个项目,涵盖以下八个能力领域:“心理能力”、“社会敏感度”、“心理运动和多任务处理能力”、“解决问题导向”、“社会互动能力”、“人格特质”、“语言能力”和“抗压能力”。计算单个项目和能力领域的平均得分。对性别、培训水平和执业地点之间的结果进行比较。
参与率为65.5%,有201名医生返回了问卷。在这个样本中,其中50.2%处于培训阶段,49.8%是妇产科执业专科医生。在医院环境中工作的医生比例为64.7%,而30.3%在私人诊所工作。“社会敏感度”和“心理运动及多任务处理能力”这两个能力领域似乎对日常专业活动最为重要。在项目层面,“抗压能力”,其次是“工作量管理”和“机智”被认为是最有价值的特征。性别、培训水平和执业地点之间的差异不显著。
确定的能力概况可作为开发妇产科住院医师选拔新方法的基础。此外,这样的概况可以帮助医学生在很早的阶段通过将自己的个人能力概况与该领域或其导师的能力概况进行比较来决定专业方向。
