Abstract:Objective To construct an evaluation index system for psychiatric training effectiveness of general physicians, so as to provide theoretical reference for enriching the evaluation of relevant abilities of general practice physicians. Methods Based on literature research and discussions within the research group, a preliminary index system was formed. The evaluation indicators for the effectiveness of psychiatric training for general practice physicians were developed using the Delphi method to improve the indicator system, and the weight assignment of the indicators was carried out using the Precedence chart. Two rounds of expert consultation were conducted from October to December 2023, and questionnaires were distributed and collected through the Wenjuanxing platform, ultimately resulting in questionnaires with a consensus of opinions. The four primary indicators are the evaluation of teaching objectives and training programs, the evaluation of training methods and teaching models, psychiatric professional knowledge, and clinical skills and medical service evaluation, with weight coefficients of 0.138 1, 0.221 4, 0.288 1, and 0.352 4, respectively. Results A total of 28 experts were consulted, with an expert authority coefficient of 0.95. The effective response rates of the two rounds of consultation questionnaires were both 100%, and the Kendall coordination coefficients of the two rounds of consultation were 0.221 and 0.393, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (P< 0.05 for both). The final evaluation index system for psychiatric training effectiveness of general practice physicians was formed, including four primary indicators and 55 secondary indicators. Conclusions The evaluation index system for psychiatric training effectiveness of general practice physicians is comprehensive, reliable, and practical, which is conducive to improving the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of mental disorders by general practitioners, reducing the waste of medical resources, and providing good services for patients.
