Construction of assessment index system on the capacity of clinical medical postgraduate tutor and analysis of its reliability and validity / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish an assessment index system on the capacity of clinical medical postgraduate tutor.Methods:On the basis of "literature optimization method", the index system was initially constructed by 14 experts with "Delphi method". Then, through the survey of 109 people, the reliability and validity were tested by Cronbach's α coefficient and exploratory factor analysis. And analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weight coefficient of each index. SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 were applied for statistical analysis. Results:The assessment index system consisted of 2 first-level indexes, 5 second-level indexes and 27 third-level indexes. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total index system, first-level indexes and second-level indexes ranged from 0.833 to 0.931. Five common factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis, and the connotation of factors were basically consistent with the theoretical structure. A confirmatory factor model was established with 5 second-level indexes as the first-order factors, what's more, the theoretical model fitted well with the actual data. The combined weight values of "teaching attitude of the tutor", "medical ethics of the tutor", "scientific research projects of the tutor", "dissertation quality of the graduate students", "the quality of the scientific research and training of the graduate students", "the quality of the clinical training of the graduate students", and "disposable scientific research funds of the tutor" ranked in the top 7 weights of third-level indexes. Conclusion:This assessment index system has good reliability and validity with reasonable connotation, which could be used as a reference for tutor evaluation.
