An OSCE was used to measure the ability of a cohort of residents to manage oncologic problems.
Nine oncologic clinical problems were presented to 56 surgical residents. Each problem contained a 5-minute data-gathering period (DGP) and a 5-minute data-interpretation period (DIP). A performance score was determined for each resident for each problem. Reliability was estimated by coefficient alpha; validity, by the construct of experience. Wilks's lambda criterion was used to determine whether training level could be identified by OSCE performance.
The DGP reliability was 0.80; the DIP, 0.49. Senior residents performed significantly better than junior residents (P = 0.0001), who performed significantly better than interns (P = 0.0009). Of the residents, 62% were competent on the DGP, but only 21% on the DIP. Important deficits in knowledge and clinical skills were apparent at all levels of training.
The education and evaluation of residents in oncology need improvement.
采用客观结构化临床考试(OSCE)来评估一组住院医师处理肿瘤学问题的能力。
向56名外科住院医师呈现9个肿瘤学临床问题。每个问题包含一个5分钟的数据收集期(DGP)和一个5分钟的数据解读期(DIP)。为每位住院医师针对每个问题确定一个表现分数。通过α系数估计信度;通过经验结构估计效度。采用威尔克斯λ准则来确定是否可以通过OSCE表现识别培训水平。
DGP的信度为0.80;DIP的信度为0.49。高年资住院医师的表现显著优于低年资住院医师(P = 0.0001),低年资住院医师的表现显著优于实习医师(P = 0.0009)。在住院医师中,62%在DGP方面表现合格,但在DIP方面只有21%表现合格。在所有培训水平上,知识和临床技能方面的重要缺陷都很明显。
肿瘤学住院医师的教育和评估需要改进。
