Abstract

Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is recommended in Canadian guidelines as a first-line treatment for major depressive disorder. With the shift towards competency-based medical education, it remains unclear how to determine when a resident is considered competent in applying knowledge of rTMS to patient care. Given inconsistencies between postgraduate training programmes with regards to training requirements, defining competencies will improve the standard of care in rTMS delivery.

Objective: The goal of this study was to develop competencies for rTMS that can be implemented into a competency-based training curriculum in postgraduate training programmes.

Methods: A working group drafted competencies for postgraduate psychiatry trainees. Fourteen rTMS experts from across Canada were invited to participate in the modified Delphi process.

Results: Ten experts participated in all three rounds of the modified Delphi process. A total of 20 items reached a consensus. There was improvement in the Cronbach's alpha over the rounds of modified Delphi process (Cronbach's alpha increased from 0.554 to 0.824) suggesting improvement in internal consistency. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) increased from 0.543 to 0.805 suggesting improved interrater agreement.

Conclusions: This modified Delphi process resulted in expert consensus on competencies to be acquired during postgraduate medical education programmes where a learner is training to become competent as a consultant and/or practitioner in rTMS treatment. This is a field that still requires development, and it is expected that as more evidence emerges the competencies will be further refined. These results will help the development of other curricula in interventional psychiatry.

研究生医学教育中重复经颅磁刺激的能力:使用改进德尔菲过程的专家共识。
背景:重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)在加拿大指南中被推荐作为重度抑郁症的一线治疗方法。随着向以能力为基础的医学教育的转变,如何确定住院医生是否有能力将rTMS的知识应用于患者护理尚不清楚。鉴于研究生培训方案在培训要求方面的不一致性,确定能力将提高rTMS提供的护理标准。目的:本研究的目的是发展rTMS的能力,可以在研究生培训计划中实施基于能力的培训课程。方法:由一个工作小组起草精神病学研究生实习生的胜任能力。来自加拿大各地的14位rTMS专家被邀请参加修改后的德尔菲过程。结果:三轮修正德尔菲法均有10位专家参与。共有20个议题达成共识。经过几轮改进的德尔菲过程后,Cronbach's alpha有所改善(Cronbach's alpha从0.554增加到0.824),表明内部一致性得到改善。类内相关系数(ICC)由0.543提高到0.805,表明类间一致性得到提高。结论:经过改进的德尔菲过程导致专家对研究生医学教育课程中需要获得的能力达成共识,在这些课程中,学习者正在接受培训,以成为有能力的rTMS治疗顾问和/或从业者。这是一个仍然需要发展的领域,预计随着更多证据的出现,这些能力将得到进一步完善。这些结果将有助于其他介入精神病学课程的发展。
