Training effect and influencing factors of transfer training for psychiatrists in Sichuan province

Abstract

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and influencing factors of transfer training for psychiatrists in Sichuan province， and to provide references for development of psychiatric personnel training program.MethodsThe qualified trainees who completed the phase I-IV transfer trainings at six regional mental health centers of Sichuan province from January 2015 to December 2018 were enrolled. All the selected trainees underwent three stages of systematic training： theoretical study， clinical practice and community practice. Moreover， trainees were given a closed-book examination at the end of the first stage of theoretical training and the third stage of community practice， and the examination results were used as indicators to assess the effectiveness of the training.ResultsThe trainees of different educational background， age， hospital type， hospital level and clinical practice bases had statistically different examination results （P<0.05 or 0.01）. The results of both examinations of the trainees in transfer training were all better than those of the residents in standardized training ［（77.00±8.55） vs. （70.90±6.81）， （77.24±8.80） vs. （69.00±7.66）， P<0.05］.ConclusionEducational requirements （bachelor's degree and above） and reasonable allocation of clinical practice bases may be the important measures to enhance the effect of transfer training for psychiatrists.
