摘要:
SUMMARYDuring 1991–1992 a confidential questionnaire was administered to a sample of United Kingdom medical students to determine if undergraduate education improved students' perceived competence at eight practical procedures. Of 2521 students given questionnaires, 1483 (58.8%) replied; 948 (65.5%) had had some obstetric and 866 (60.8%) some neonatal education. Such education did improve students' perceived competence (P<0.001) on self‐assessed Likert scales, but most still believe themselves not to be competent when they have completed their obstetric and neonatal education. Regression models were able to explain much (38.7–65.1%) of the variability in perceived competence at obstetric procedures: obstetric education, performing practical procedures, and witnessing deliveries in a general practitioner unit were all associated with higher competence; but less (4.8–20.8%) of the variability in perceived neonatal competence. It is suggested that undergraduate experience should be congruent with the aims and objectives of obstetric and neonatal education, and that these need to be reviewed in the light of the recent General Medical Council proposed changes to medical ed
