Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implementation of a prospective transfusion medicine training program and identify the factors that influence the training effectiveness.
Methods: A total of 28 trainees were selected as the study subjects, and a systematic six-month training program was implemented. A questionnaire was used to assess trainees at baseline and after 6-month training.
Results: The basic level of the trainees before the training was low; none of them reached the "excellent" level. Work experience in the transfusion medicine department was positively correlated with baseline knowledge (p = 0.049). After training, overall assessment scores significantly improved (p < 0.001), with notable enhancements in basic theory, transfusion compatibility testing, and clinical application of transfusion. Multivariate analysis re-vealed that the basic knowledge level of trainees was negatively correlated with the training effectiveness, whereas both the trainees' learning attitude and their affiliated hospitals’ level were positively correlated.
Conclusions: The training program effectively enhanced the clinical transfusion skills of the professionals, which was influenced by the trainees' basic knowledge level, learning attitude, and their affiliated hospitals’ level. Moreover, the trainees' work experience could, to some extent, compensate for any deficiencies in their basic knowledge.
