Background and Objective: Educational programs play an important role in achieving predetermined educational goals and indicate the level of progress and responsiveness of universities to the changing needs of society. This study was conducted to determine the extent to which the content of the educational program of the obstetrics and gynecology department of the medical field is consistent with the roles and duties of general practitioners.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 86 general practitioners in Birjand city were selected and examined using convenience sampling in 1402. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire with 17 questions. The validity of the tool was confirmed by education experts and the reliability coefficient was obtained through Cronbach's alpha of 0.79. The data were analyzed using SPSS22 statistical software and one-sample t-test, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation were used.
Findings: The results showed that the highest level of educational content compliance was in the following order: infertility (2.32 ± 0.72), dysmenorrhea (2.25 ± 0.82), abnormal female bleeding (2.25 ± 0.78), congenital anomalies of the reproductive system (2.18 ± 0.72), contraceptive methods (2.12 ± 0.85), vaginitis and cervicitis (2.06 ± 0.82), pelvic infections (2.04 ± 0.73), endometriosis (2.04 ± 0.75), malignant ovarian tumors (1.80 ± 0.68), benign diseases of the cervix and uterus (1.70 ± 0.68), and it was statistically significant (P = 0.001). Other educational content in the obstetrics and gynecology department had less compliance.
Conclusions: The curricula of the obstetrics and gynecology department were at an average to high level in terms of scientific awareness and theoretical knowledge, as well as practical knowledge in the field of determined needs, and it is necessary to provide conditions to transfer and generalize the necessary skills and abilities and theoretical knowledge in this field to practical and applied situations. |
