To assess the extent to which work undertaken during training in public health medicine was formally disseminated in peer-reviewed publications.
An English Health Region.
A postal questionnaire survey of former and current senior trainees.
The response rate was 75% (38/51). Thirty per cent (11/37) had no publications arising from any work undertaken during training and specifically 49% (18/37) had no publications arising from submissions made for the Part II examination for Membership of the Faculty of Public Health Medicine. Major perceived barriers to publication were: lack of priority accorded to publication by the training department; lack of time and lack of a supervisor or mentor to facilitate preparation of material.
Overcoming these perceived barriers will require action at trainee, trainer and organisational level. Skills training in writing could be included in academic courses and publication could be identified as a training goal for appropriate pieces of work. Health authorities could be more active in encouraging publication of work undertaken by trainees on their behalf.
评估公共卫生医学培训期间所开展工作在同行评审出版物中正式传播的程度。
一个英格兰卫生区域。
对 former 和 current 高级受训人员进行邮寄问卷调查。
回复率为75%(38/51)。30%(11/37)在培训期间所开展的任何工作均未发表论文,具体而言,49%(18/37)为公共卫生医学教员资格第二部分考试提交的论文未发表。公认的主要发表障碍包括:培训部门未将发表列为优先事项;时间不足以及缺乏促进材料准备的导师。
克服这些公认的障碍需要受训人员、培训人员和组织层面采取行动。写作技能培训可纳入学术课程,发表可被确定为适当工作的培训目标。卫生当局可更积极地鼓励代表他们开展工作的受训人员发表成果。
