摘要

背景。验光专业毕业生是南非最大的验光专业毕业生雇主——私人诊所招聘新员工的主要来源。大学应确保毕业生能够在劳动力市场竞争和实践中就业。从私人诊所雇主和导师(EMs)的角度,了解2016 - 2020年南澳院校验光专业毕业生的执业准备情况。采用非概率方便抽样方法,邀请刚毕业的私人验光师完成一份围绕南澳卫生专业人员核心竞争力设计的在线问卷。采用SPSS软件,采用单样本t检验、因子分析和Cronbach 's alpha结果,对五点李克特量表的定量数据进行分析。28名受访医师认为,毕业生在理论知识、沟通协作能力和专业技能方面表现较好,但在临床技能、领导管理技能和健康宣传技能方面表现较差。确定的具体弱点领域包括分配技能、领导能力、处理批评、处理压力、实施流程以改善服务、行业意识和实践管理。除了两个关于学术和专业技能的问题外,所有问题的信度都在可接受的水平。新兴市场对视光专业毕业生的实践准备持积极态度,但课程中确定的具体弱点包括私人雇主的利益相关者参与。增加临床时间的多样性,包括私人诊所的轮转,以及促进和促进基于工作的学习,可能会加强实践准备。

Background. Optometry graduates are a key source of new recruits for private practice employers, the largest employer of South African (SA) optometry graduates. Universities should ensure that graduates are employable to compete in the labour market and to practise.Objective. To gain an understanding of the practice readiness of optometry graduates who qualified from SA institutions between 2016 and 2020, from the perspective of private practice employers and mentors (EMs).Methods. Using non-probability convenience sampling, private optometry EMs of recent graduates were invited to complete an online questionnaire designed around the core competencies for health professionals in SA. Quantitative data retrieved from a five-point Likert scale were analysed employing SPSS software, using the one-sample t-test, factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha.Results. EMs (N=28) felt that graduates showed satisfactory competence in theoretical knowledge, communication, collaboration and professional skills, but weaknesses in aspects of clinical skills, leadership and management skills, and health-advocacy skills. The specific areas of weaknesses identified were dispensing skills, leadership, handling of criticism, handling of stress, implementing processes to improve services, industry awareness and practice management. All questions, except two questions for scholarly and professional skills, had an acceptable level of reliability.Conclusion. Practice readiness was viewed favourably by EMs for optometry graduates, but the specific weaknesses identified in the curriculum include stakeholder involvement from private employers. Increasing the diversity of clinical hours, including rotations in private practices, as well as facilitating and promoting work-based learning may strengthen practice readiness.
