Study on strategies to improve clinical fellow training satisfaction based on importance-performance analysis (IPA).
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aims to assess the satisfaction levels of clinical fellows based on the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method.
methodsFrom January 2020 to July 2023, a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted targeting clinical fellows in a tertiary comprehensive hospital in Guangdong Province. By combining a review of the existing literature with the current conditions of hospital training, we developed a clinical fellow training satisfaction assessment system consisting of 4 primary and 22 secondary indicators. The data gathered through the IPA-based questionnaire survey were then scrutinized.
resultsA total of 255 questionnaires were circulated, with 213 proving to be valid, leading to a response rate of 83.5%. Of the participants, 54.5% were male. The factors holding the highest rankings in both importance and satisfaction were the "expertise and theoretical knowledge of mentor teachers," "adherence to medical ethics and educator morality," and the "standardization of guidance provided by mentor teachers." These factors received importance scores of (4.94 ± 0.26), (4.93 ± 0.25), and (4.91 ± 0.32) respectively, alongside satisfaction scores of (4.95 ± 0.21), (4.93 ± 0.25), and (4.92 ± 0.31) respectively. Significant disparities were observed in the importance and satisfaction scores regarding "reasonable training expenses," "sustained interaction between departments and physicians," "execution of training blueprints," "research skill development training," and "the teaching demeanor of departmental medical personnel" (P < 0.05). The IPA disclosed that the areas warranting concentrated enhancement include "implementing robust position training," "refining and executing training agendas," and "offering abundant practical clinical opportunities."
conclusionTo enhance the training satisfaction levels of clinical fellows, it is noteworthy to strengthen hospital clinical teaching management, further develop the teaching workforce, improve and implement training plans, provide ample clinical practice opportunities, and enhance life support services.
