Abstract

Objective

To describe the EEG competence of healthcare professionals and how this competence has been measured in previous literature.

Methods

A systematic review following the preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. A literature search was conducted in CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases focusing on studies that empirically examined the EEG competence of healthcare professionals.

Results

A total of 28 studies were included. EEG competence consists of two main categories: knowledge and skills of EEG, and attitudes and values towards EEG. The EEG competence of healthcare professionals was assessed in three different settings: tests, simulations, and real life. The data collection methods were knowledge tests, self-assessments, and observations. The tools were developed by a researcher(s) for the single study and were not psychometrically tested.

Conclusion

EEG competence is a multidimensional concept that includes knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that need to be considered when defining EEG competence and developing tools to measure it.

Significance

This systematic review provides information to the educators of healthcare professionals and healthcare organizations involved in developing comprehensive EEG training programs and assessments to foster professional development and ensure reliable diagnostic test results for patients.

医疗保健专业人员执行脑电图测试的能力：系统回顾

目的描述卫生保健专业人员的脑电图能力，以及在以往文献中如何测量这种能力。方法根据系统评价和元分析的首选报告项目进行系统评价。在CINAHL、PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science数据库中进行了文献检索，重点研究了医疗保健专业人员脑电图能力的实证研究。结果共纳入28项研究。脑电能力包括两大类：脑电知识和技能，以及对脑电的态度和价值观。在三种不同的环境中评估医疗保健专业人员的脑电图能力：测试、模拟和现实生活。资料收集方法为知识测验、自我评估和观察。这些工具是由研究人员为单个研究开发的，没有进行心理测量学测试。结论脑电能力是一个多维的概念，包括知识、技能、态度和价值观，在定义脑电能力和开发测量工具时需要考虑这些因素。本系统综述为参与制定全面脑电图培训计划和评估的医疗保健专业人员和医疗保健组织的教育者提供了信息，以促进专业发展并确保患者的诊断测试结果可靠。
