Abstract:
Objective To explore the application of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with simulated standardized patient (SP) teaching mode in teaching diagnostics of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods From March 2016 to March 2017, 153 students in three classes of undergraduate clinical medicine specialty in grade 2013 were selected as the subjects of study, who were taught by the same professor in the theoretical courses, and the teaching contents were all about the diagnostic methods of AMI. The students were randomly divided into control group, PBL group and experimental group with 51 cases in each group. The control group received traditional teaching mode, the PBL group received PBL and theoretical teaching mode, and the experimental group received PBL and SP teaching mode. The theoretical results, medical record writing, students′ satisfaction and teachers′ satisfaction with students′ performance were compared among the three groups.
Results The scores of medical record writing [(80.56±7.23)points] and theoretical knowledge [(79.84±5.63)points] in the experimental group were higher than those in the PBL group [(76.24±6.45)points, (74.28±5.05)points] and control group [(70.21±6.13)points, (69.56±4.89)points]. The differences were statistically significant (F1=31.45, 49.95, all P<0.01). The scores of physical examination [(17.38±1.27)points], medical history [(49.47±1.34)points] and chief complaint [(16.82±0.67)points] of the experimental group were higher than those of PBL group [(14.23±1.06)points, (44.88±1.21)points, (13.26±0.54)points] and control group [(11.55±0.98)points, (40.52±1.04)points, (10.97±0.61)points]. The differences were statistically significant (F=352.43, 705.92, 1 195.02, all P<0.01). Teachers′ satisfaction with students′ performance in the experimental group was (42/51, 82.35%) higher than that in the PBL group (60.78%, 37/51) and the control group (43.14%, 22/51) (χ2=16.72, P<0.01).
Conclusion The application of PBL combined with SP teaching mode in teaching diagnostics of AMI can effectively improve students′ learning enthusiasm and initiative, improve students′ and teachers′ satisfaction, improve teacher-student relationship and teaching quality.
