Abstract

Veterinaria Mexico OA ISSN: 2448-6760 Cite this as: Torres CG, Laytte-Garcia MJ, Tadich-Gallo TA. Perceptions of small animal practitioners and pet owners on professional competencies in veterinary practice: an essential component for curricula design. Veterinaria Mexico OA. 2019;6(4). doi: 10.22201/fmvz.24486760e.2019.4.683. Veterinary schools are responsible for defining their curricula in accordance with societal needs. For this input, listening to stakeholders from outside academia is essential. The aim of this study was to investigate the perception of Chilean small animal practitioners and pet owners on the attributes they consider that constitute a good veterinarian, and to relate these attributes to demographic characteristics. For this, a cross-sectional survey study was designed. A group of 308 small animal practitioners and 328 pet owners from Santiago Metropolitan Region, in Chile, were surveyed. The survey included twenty attributes and questions on demographic characteristics and was applied via email to professionals, and to pet owners sitting in waiting rooms of small animal practices. The majority of respondents in both groups were young adult females. Significant differences in the importance given to 12 out of 20 attributes were found between groups. When asked to prioritize three attributes, both groups mentioned “knowledge about veterinary medicine and surgery”, followed by “recognizes own limitations and knows when to seek advice” as well as “good communication skills” in the case of veterinarians. In the case of pet owners, “confidence”, “recognizes own limitations” and “knows when to seek advice” were the following attributes. Results showed significant differences within groups according to gender and age, with females and elder respondents giving higher importance to the attributes included in the study. Professional skills should be considered when developing new curricula in Chile, especially those important for local stakeholders.

小动物从业者和宠物主人对兽医实践专业能力的看法:课程设计的重要组成部分
墨西哥兽医OA ISSN:2448-6760引用如下:Torres CG,Laytte Garcia MJ,Tadich Gallo TA。小动物从业者和宠物主人对兽医实践专业能力的看法:课程设计的重要组成部分。兽医墨西哥OA。2019年;6(4)。doi:10.22201/fmvz.24486760e.2019.4.683。兽医学校负责根据社会需求确定课程。对于这种投入,听取学术界以外的利益相关者的意见至关重要。本研究的目的是调查智利小动物从业者和宠物主人对他们认为构成一名优秀兽医的特质的看法,并将这些特质与人口统计学特征联系起来。为此,设计了一项横断面调查研究。来自智利圣地亚哥大都会区的308名小动物从业者和328名宠物主人接受了调查。这项调查包括20个关于人口统计学特征的属性和问题,并通过电子邮件应用于专业人士和坐在小动物诊所候诊室的宠物主人。这两组受访者中的大多数是年轻成年女性。20个属性中有12个属性的重要性在各组之间存在显著差异。当被要求优先考虑三个属性时,两组都提到了“兽医和外科知识”,然后是“认识到自己的局限性,知道何时寻求建议”,以及兽医的“良好沟通技能”。就宠物主人而言,“自信”、“认识到自己的局限性”和“知道何时寻求建议”是以下属性。结果显示,不同性别和年龄的群体之间存在显著差异,女性和老年受访者对研究中包含的属性给予了更高的重视。在智利制定新课程时,应考虑专业技能,尤其是那些对当地利益攸关方很重要的课程。
