Perception of stakeholders on current perfusion education in Malaysia
Keywords:
Perception, stakeholders, perfusion education, MalaysiaAbstract
Perfusionist is known as a certified medical technician liable for extracorporeal oxygenation of the blood during open-heart surgery. Current curriculum is believed to be at par and is aligned with the National Occupational Skills Standard, however, the scope of perfusion practice keeps changing with the advancement of technology and procedures, and there is a demand for specialty area such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Therefore, current curriculum should be re-evaluated by taking consideration from multiple stakeholders’ perception on current needs, content, educational strategies, teaching methods, assessment methods, and curriculum management. Hence, this study aimed to explore perception of stakeholders in evaluating current perfusion education in Malaysia. In the context of the present study, stakeholders of perfusion education in Malaysia were referred to the private providers, manager, educators, advance diploma holders, perfusionist, and pensioners. This was a qualitative study which involved in-depth interview approach. A total 10 stakeholders participated in this study, chosen though purposive sampling. The interview was guided by semi-structured questions to explore participant’s perception. The participants were approached by the list obtained from the Malaysian Perfusionist Society (MAPS). The interviews were conducted face-to-face or virtually.
