Research and analysis of pediatric resident′s competency based on the bibliometrics / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the research status and development trend of pediatrician competence in China and abroad, for reference in promoting the pediatrician competence research in the country.Methods:Literature review on pediatric resident′s competency was made using CNKI, WanFang and PubMed databases, ranging from their establishment up to December 25, 2019. A descriptive statistical analysis was made on the literatures′ publication year, publication area, research object and application area among others, using Excel 2019 and EndnoteX8.Results:A total of 199 Chinese documents and 262 English documents were finally retrieved. From 2009, the number of publications increased year by year, of which the Pediatrics has topped the rest, followed by Academic Medicine and Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research. The publishing institutions were mostly universities and affiliated hospitals, among which the Children′s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University topped the rest. The keyword of the highest frequency was education and the researches focus on the competency application and modelling. Conclusions:The pediatric healthcare system is paying greater attention on competence researches, but China has not yet established an appropriate pediatric resident competency model fitting local conditions. Meanwhile, the researches are plagued by such setbacks as excessive concentration of resources, simple methods and lack of empirical studies. It is recommended to broaden the explorations in this regard so as to identify pediatric resident competency development models fitting China′s conditions.
