Objective To understand the training effectiveness and training needs of the Fujian Province Field Epidemiolo-gy Training Program(FJFETP),and provide reference for further improving FETP.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 104 graduated trainees of the FETP in Fujian Province from 2020 to 2024.and R.4.4.1 software was used for data organization and statistical analysis.Results A total of 5 FETP sessions were held in Fujian Province from 2020 to 2024,with 104 graduates,covering 9 cities,1 comprehensive experimental zone,and 63 counties(cities,districts)in the province.The coverage rate of counties(cities,districts)reached 73.26%(63/86).Among the 104 graduating students,67.31%(70/104)came from the county(city,district)level CDC,98.08%(102/104)believed that their over-all work ability had been improved after the training,42.31%(44/104)chose the Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention as the best spot to practice on-site during the training period,and 95.19%(99/104)chose professional and technical personnel from disease control institutions as instructors during the centralized period.Among the eight ability en-hancement evaluations,"the ability to independently organize complex on-site epidemiological investigations in the event of disease outbreaks or emergency health events"scored the highest at 7.46 points.The score after training was(71.50±22.60)points,which was higher than the score before training[(42.30±20.00)points],and the difference was statisti-cally significant(t=9.864,P<0.001).Conclusion The overall work ability of FJFETP graduates has been greatly im-proved,and further improvements are needed in training instructors,training models,and funding guarantee mechanisms to ensure the high-quality promotion of FJFETP.
