RESUMEN
Objective:To retrospectively construct competency-based portfolios for medical students to analyze the factors influencing competency self-assessment, and to explore an approach to efficient portfolio construction.Methods:The participants were randomly selected among medical graduates of 2015 in Shantou University Medical College. Through records collection and an online questionnaire survey, portfolios were built for the participants based on their development data during eight years from college entrance, college education, to post-graduation medical education. The correlation between variables was determined using Kendall's tau-b correlation coefficients. The inter-group differences were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results:A total of 126 usable questionnaires for effective developmental portfolios were collected. There were a total of 208 indicators collected, including 79 questionnaire indicators (including 36 for competency self-assessment). The reliability coefficient (Cronbach's α) of the questionnaire was 0.984. The factors related to competency self-assessment were identified. Conclusion:This study provides a basis for the implementation of portfolio assessment, which can promote students' self-assessment and competency development. Optimizing the indicator system, building an online platform, increasing participants' participation motivation, and emphasizing self-reflection and feedback will help improve the efficiency of developmental portfolio construction and its performance.
RESUMEN
Objective:To meet the demand of medical system for talents, the training of medical students' competency has become a new direction of medical education. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of training quality in medical graduates through the competency scale.Methods:Taking "attitude", "skill" and "knowledge" as the evaluation dimensions, the competency development was divided into four levels of "state", "explain", "apply" and "transfer", and we proposed the competence concept of "A.S.K.-SEAT" and formulated an evaluation scale. Questionnaires and behavior event interviews (BEI) were conducted in medical graduates of Shantou University in 2018. Reliability and validity of the questionnaire were evaluated and current situation of different competency items were analyzed.Results:A total of 155 questionnaires were collected with good reliability and validity, and 15 graduates participated in BEI. A total of 21 A.S.K. competency items (including five basic competency items and two discriminating competency items) and SEAT textual descriptions were finally established.Conclusion:A.S.K.-SEAT scale can provide valid references for the competency evaluation of medical graduates.
