The Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) accredits postgraduate medical education programs in Saudi Arabia to ensure they provide quality training that meets professional outcomes per national and international standards. Research activities should be tailored to meet the training needs of postgraduate trainees to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. These activities should assist trainees in selecting the appropriate methodology for their research, gathering and interpreting data, and evaluating the outcomes of previous research before clinical implementation.
A needs assessment survey was conducted on postgraduate trainees enrolled in 20 residency programs and 13 fellowship programs at a tertiary hospital in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The aim of the study was to determine the preferred research training content and delivery method most appropriate for postgraduate trainees. The hospital's research center can use this information to design and conduct research training activities based on postgraduate trainees' professional and scientific needs. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26; percentage and frequency were used, and a value of <0.05 indicated significant differences between groups.
The response rate of postgraduate trainees was 64% (60/94); 78% were enrolled in residency, while 22% were in fellowship training programs. Of the resident respondents, 70% were enrolled in an internal medicine residency program, and 23% of fellow respondents were enrolled in a medical oncology fellowship program.
Priority areas that require training interventions to enhance research knowledge and practice among postgraduate trainees were identified. There are opportunities for addressing the identified training needs by expanding research training program content, designing workshops, and tailoring training to meet professional expectations.
沙特卫生专业委员会(SCFHS)对沙特阿拉伯的研究生医学教育项目进行认证,以确保这些项目提供符合国家和国际标准的专业成果的高质量培训。研究活动应根据研究生学员的培训需求进行调整,以弥合研究与临床实践之间的差距。这些活动应帮助学员选择适合其研究的方法、收集和解释数据,并在临床实施前评估以往研究的结果。
对沙特阿拉伯麦加一家三级医院参加20个住院医师项目和13个专科培训项目的研究生学员进行了需求评估调查。该研究的目的是确定最适合研究生学员的首选研究培训内容和授课方式。医院的研究中心可以利用这些信息,根据研究生学员的专业和科学需求设计和开展研究培训活动。使用SPSS 26版对数据进行分析;采用百分比和频率,P值<0.05表示组间存在显著差异。
研究生学员的回复率为64%(60/94);78%的学员参加住院医师项目,22%的学员参加专科培训项目。在住院医师受访者中,70%参加内科住院医师项目,23%的专科培训受访者参加医学肿瘤学专科培训项目。
确定了需要培训干预以提高研究生学员研究知识和实践能力的优先领域。通过扩展研究培训项目内容、设计研讨会以及根据专业期望量身定制培训,有机会满足已确定的培训需求。
