Abstract

Background: Village doctors, as gatekeepers of the health system for rural residents in China, are often confronted with adversity in providing the basic public healthcare services.

Objective: We sought to summarize the training contents, training method, training location, and training costs most preferred by village doctors in China and hope to provide evidence and support for the government to deliver better training in the future.

Methods: Eight databases were searched to include studies that reported on the training needs of village doctors in China. We undertook a systematic review and a narrative synthesis of data.

Results: A total of 38 cross-sectional studies including 35,545 participants were included. In China, village doctors have extensive training needs. "Clinical knowledge and skill" and "diagnosis and treatment of common disease" were the most preferred training content; "continuing medical education" was the most preferred delivery method; above county- and county-level hospitals were the most desirable training locations, and the training costs were expected to be low or even free.

Conclusion: Village doctors in various regions of China have similar preferences for training. Thus, future training should focus more on the training needs and preferences of village doctors.

中国乡村医生培训需求偏好的系统评价

背景：乡村医生作为中国农村居民卫生系统的把关人，在提供基本公共卫生服务方面往往面临困境。目的：总结中国乡村医生最喜欢的培训内容、培训方式、培训地点和培训费用，希望为政府今后更好地开展培训提供依据和支持。方法：检索8个数据库，纳入有关中国乡村医生培训需求的研究报告。我们对数据进行了系统的回顾和叙述性的综合。结果：共纳入38项横断面研究，包括35,545名参与者。在中国，乡村医生有广泛的培训需求。“临床知识与技能”和“常见病诊治”是首选的培训内容；“继续医学教育”是最受欢迎的交付方式；县级以上医院是最理想的培训地点，培训费用预计很低，甚至免费。结论：中国各地区乡村医生的培训偏好相似。因此，未来的培训应更多地关注乡村医生的培训需求和偏好。
