미래의 진료 및 술기 수행 역량에 대한 인식 : 전국 가정의학과 레지던트 설문조사

Perception of Competency to Perform Procedures and Future Practice Intent: A National Survey of Family Practice Residents

Lisa K. Sharp, PhD, Ralph Wang, and Martin S. Lipsky, MD


목적

가정의학과 치프 레지던트를 대상으로 어떤 술기 경험이 있는지, 각 술기를 어느 정도로 능숙하게 한다고 생각하는지, 실제로 어떤 술기를 수행할 것으로 생각하는지를 물어보았다.


방법

가정의학과의 31개의 핵심 술기(core procedures)에 대한 수련과 역량을 묻는 설문지를 만들어서, 파일럿 테스트를 거쳐 타당도와 명확성을 확인하였다. 이 설문지는 2001년 7월부터 10월 사이에 463개의 가정의학과 레지던트 프로그램의 치프 레지던트들에게 발송되었다.


결과

총 265명(57%)의 설문지가 회수되었다. 응답자의 96%는 3년차였고, 40%는 여성이었다. 모든 레지던트들은 병소 적출(excision of a lesion), 배농(drainage of an abscess), 단순 봉합(simple suturing)의 경험이 있었다. 레지던트들이 가장 경험해보지 않았던 술기는 정관절제술(vasectomy) (46%), 개흉술(thoracotomy) (41%), and rigid sigmoidoscopy (34%)였다.


레지던트 기간동안 수행해본 술기의 숫자와 수행해보고자 했던 술기의 숫자는 성별에 따라 차이가 있었다. 장차 시골(rural) 지역에서 진료를 하고자 하는 의사는 도시 지역에서 하고자 하는 의사에 비해서 더 많은 술기를 해보고자 했다. 90%이상의 레지던트들이 산과 술기에 능숙하다고 생각하였으나, 실제로 진료현장에서 활용할 계획이라고 밝힌 사람은 50% 이하였다.


결론

핵심 술기들을 가르치고 있지만, 레지던트들이 스스로 충분하다고 느낄 정도로 교육받지 못하고 있는 술기들도 많이 있음이 드러났다.









Regression Analyses of Procedural Skills and Residency Program Characteristics


Table 4 shows the characteristics of the residency programs by location. Gender did not differ significantly by location of the residency program. Separate general linear model analyses were calculated using the number of procedures completed and the number of procedures residents planned to perform as the dependent variables. Both analyses were completed on a 2 (gender) X 2 (opposed residency) X 3 (geographic area plan to practice) model, controlling for the number of residents per class and number of beds in hospital. Consistent with our univariate analyses, a main effect was identified for gender (p .000), with women performing fewer types of procedures. The model explained only 11% of the variance in number of procedures completed. The second analysis identified a main effect for gender (p .006) and geographic location (p .000) on the number of procedures the resident planned to perform and explained 17% of the variance. Men planned to perform more procedures than did women, and residents choosing to practice in a rural setting planned to perform more procedures regardless of gender.

Abstract

PURPOSE:

national survey of family practice (FP) chief residents to identify the type of procedural skills they have completed, assess their perceptions of competence to perform those procedures, and identify the procedures they anticipate performing in practice.

METHOD:

A questionnaire asking about training and competency in 31 core procedures for family medicine (FM) was developed from the literature and pilot tested on residency directors for face validity and clarity. The questionnaires were mailed to chief residents at the 463 FM residency programs in the United States between July and October 2001.

RESULTS:

A total of 265 (57%) questionnaires were returned. Ninety-six percent of respondents were PGY3 seconds, and 40% were women. Allresidents had performed excision of a lesion, drainage of an abscess, and simple suturing. Residents were least likely to have performed vasectomy (46%), thoracotomy (41%), and rigid sigmoidoscopy (34%). The mean number of procedures performed during residency and the number ofprocedures the resident intended to perform in practice differed by gender. Residents who planned to practice in rural areas anticipated performing more procedures than did those who planned to practice in suburban areas (20 versus 17; p >/=.001). Over 90% of residents felt competent to performobstetrics, but fewer than 50% planned to in practice.

CONCLUSION:

Despite reports that core procedural skills are taught, this study suggests significant numbers of residents are not being taught certain procedures in a manner that results in residents feeling competent to perform them.
