Research on the Construction and Capacity Improvement of Training System for Professional and Technical Personnel in Pre-Pregnancy Eugenic Health Examination in Guangxi Region —From the Practical Perspective of Birth Defect Prevention and Control

Abstract

Objective: To explore the construction path and implementation effect of the training system for professional and technical personnel in the free pre-pregnancy eugenic health examination project in Guangxi, so as to provide practical reference for improving the ability of primary maternal and child health services and reducing the incidence of birth defects. Methods: Taking the free pre-pregnancy eugenic health examination project in Guangxi from 2010 to 2024 as the research object, a training system of “policy guidance - demand orientation - hierarchical training - effect evaluation” was constructed. Various forms such as centralized training, special lectures, field visits, case analysis and further study were adopted to carry out systematic training for primary professional and technical personnel. Results: The training covered 112 counties (cities, districts) in Guangxi, with a total of more than 1000 professional and technical personnel trained, including 668 special training for laboratory technicians. The mastery rate of professional knowledge and the qualified rate of skill operation of primary personnel were significantly improved. The service rate of eugenic consultation and guidance for high-risk groups reached 100%. A total of 4.832 million person-times of pre-pregnancy examinations have been completed since the implementation of the project, and the effect of birth defect prevention and control has gradually emerged. Conclusion: The systematic training system has effectively improved the service ability of primary professional and technical personnel, promoted the standardized implementation of the pre-pregnancy eugenic health examination project, and is of great significance for promoting eugenics and improving population quality. It can provide reference for talent training in public health projects in underdeveloped areas.
