Results of annual professional proficiency testing for standardized residency training and related influencing factors
Objective To analyze the results of the practice test and formal test of the annual professional proficiency test for residents in 2022,to investigate related influencing factors and the effectiveness of the practice test,and to propose the measures for improving the results of the annual professional proficiency test.Methods The scores of the annual professional proficiency test were analyzed for 202 residents who participated in the test in 2022,and the data on sex,education background,type of personnel,whether they passed the medical licensing examination,and practice test scores were analyzed to investigate related influencing factors.SPSS 23.0 and GraphPad Prism 8 were used for the chi-square test,the t-test,the one-way of variance,and the Fisher's exact test.A multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify influencing factors,and a Pearson correlation analysis was also performed.Results The scores of the annual professional proficiency test for 202 residents were normally distributed with the highest number of the residents with a score of 90-99 points and the lowest number of the residents with a score of<70 points.The residents who passed the medical licensing examination had a significantly higher score of the annual professional proficiency test than those who failed the examination(t=2.87,P=0.005),and the residents who passed the three practice tests had a significantly higher score of the annual professional proficiency test than those who failed the practice tests(P<0.05).The score of the second practice test,the score of the third practice test,and the passing of medical licensing examination were independent influencing factors for the score of annual professional proficiency test(R2=0.236,(R)2=0.201,F=6.60,P<0.05).The correlation analysis showed that the scores of the three practice tests were positively correlated with the final score(r=0.189,0.373,and 0.311,P<0.05).Conclusions Improving the passing rate of medical licensing examination and strengthening pre-examination practice tests can help to improve the score of annual professional proficiency test.At the same time,it is necessary to improve the quality of training through the measures such as strengthening the homogenization management of different types of students,improving the attention and enthusiasm of all levels,and accelerating the construction of question banks.
