Abstract: Objective To construct an evaluation index system of job competency for Dai medical talents,and to provide a reference for the cultivation,appointment,and evaluation of Dai medical talents. Methods For January 2023 to April 2024,the literature analysis method was used to collect the indicators related to Dai medicine and job competence through semi-structured interviews with selected Dai medical specialists. The results of the semi-structured interviews were discussed and analyzed with the results of the literature analysis to construct the preliminary item pool of the evaluation index system of Dai medicine talents' job competence,and formulated the experts' correspondence form. Through the Delphi expert consultation,the index screening,entry addition,deletion,and modification were carried out on the recovered correspondence form,and the entry weights were analyzed and calculated by the hierarchical analysis method to determine and improve the construction of the evaluation index system of Dai medical talents' job competency,and finally,the credibility test was carried out on the evaluation system. Results Literature analysis method and semi-structured interviews initially formulated 4 first-level indicators and 44 second-level indicators of competency for Dai medicine positions. After two rounds of expert correspondence were conducted with 15 experts,the recovery rates of the two rounds of expert correspondence questionnaires were 100.00% and 80.00%,and the authority coefficients were 0.8 and 0.828,respectively. The Kendall's coefficients of the first level and second level entries were 0.279（χ²=15.345,P>0.09） and 0.225（χ²=145.050,P<0.01） in the first round,and 0.333（χ²=15.000,P<0.05） and 0.277（χ²=146.353,P<0.01） in the second round,and finally formed 6 first-level indicators and 49 second-level dimensions of Dai medicine job competency,and weight analysis was conducted. Conclusion This study constructs the evaluation index system for job competency of Dai medical talents,which provides a reference for the cultivation of Dai medical talents and the construction of the Dai medical team.
