The Exploration of Patient Safety Education Curriculum for Medical Physics Interns in Tumor Radiotherapy
With the complexity of technology in radiation therapy,the safety of patient treatment has attracted the attention of family members of doctors and patients.In this background,patient safety training for radiation therapy physics interns has become a very important part of the internship course.Patient safety training not only requires interns to master basic theoretical knowledge,but also to cultivate comprehensive response abilities in clinical emergencies to ensure the safety of patients during treatment.In this study,the patient safety education and training course developed by the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army for radiation therapy medical physics interns was introduced,and the learning effectiveness was evaluated.The course lasted for two months and covered 12 teaching subject areas,including basic theory,clinical skills,quality assurance,communication education and ethics.By combining online resource self-learning,classroom teaching theory,simulated clinical scenario exercises,and fault mode analysis discussion and practical teaching,interns comprehensively improved their patient safety awareness and coping ability in radiation therapy.The training feedback results showed that 62 medical physics interns who participated in the training had significantly improved their patient safety knowledge,quality control processes,radiation protection principles,team collaboration skills,and doctor-patient communication skills;In terms of theoretical knowledge,the interns improved from Level 1(basic understanding)before the training to Level 3.5(deep understanding),and demonstrated the ability to independently deal with complex clinical situations in simulated practical skills.
