ESTABLISHING A COMPETENCY EVALUATION FRAMEWORK FOR PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY RESPONDERS IN CDC FACILITIES OF SOUTHWESTERN CHINA

Abstract

Objective: To address workforce shortages and evaluation gaps in Southwest China's underdeveloped regions, this study constructs a tailored CDC emergency personnel competency model (Guangxi/Yunnan/Guizhou), transcending limitations of universal frameworks. Methods: Literature review and interviews formed initial indicators. Two-round modified Delphi: Round 1 with 26 strategic experts (100% senior titles) established theoretical framework; Round 2 with 58 operational experts (94.8% grassroots) optimized practicability. AHP determined weights (all CR<0.1).Results: Final model: 6 dimensions/22 secondary/64 tertiary indicators. High expert authority (Cr=0.87/0.86) and significant coordination (Kendall’s W=0.269–0.230, p<0.001). Innovations: ①"Dynamic Competency Stratification"; ②Teamwork-focused "research output"; ③Regional indicators (e.g., Cross-Border Joint Control, weight=0.15).Conclusion: Validated model resolves "talent drain–training disconnect–resource misallocation" dilemmas, providing quantitative tools for precision workforce development in underdeveloped regions.
