ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the value of competency-oriented training mode in the training of professional postgraduate students of thoracic surgery.Methods:A total of 71 professional postgraduate students, who entered thoracic surgery department for rotation training, were divided into experimental group and control group. Among them, 33 students in experimental group accepted competency-oriented training, including medical theoretical knowledge, clinical skills, clinical thinking, scientific information and interpersonal communication, while 38 students in control group received traditional training. Before leaving the department, the two groups of students had a unified assessment, and their results were compared and analyzed. SPSS 19.0 was used to make statistical analysis on the students' assessment results, and the comparison of the two groups of students' results was made by two independent samples t test. Results:The experimental group performed better in theoretical knowledge, clinical skills, clinical thinking and total scores than control group [(14.21±2.03) points vs. (12.97±2.06) points, (24.30±2.35) points vs. (22.37±3.10) points, (24.00±1.85) points vs. (22.71±3.17) points, (78.09±3.53) points vs. (73.34±5.25) points], with significant differences (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Competency-oriented training model can significantly enhance the training quality of professional postgraduates of thoracic surgery. We should make rational use of new media means and various teaching platforms, and give full play to the characteristics and advantages of the discipline, which facilitates to improving the clinical post competence of trainees.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the application value of standard operation procedure (SOP) of thoracentesis in clinical skills training for undergraduates.Methods:In this study, 63 undergraduates were randomized into two groups, with 29 students in experimental group receiving SOP training, and 34 students in control group trained by traditional teaching methods. The performance of the two groups at different stages of thoracentesis were compared after the training. SPSS 19.0 was used to analyze the assessment data.Results:The experimental group was significantly superior to the control group in the stages of "puncture operation" and "post-puncture operation" [(33.76±2.46) points vs. (31.91±3.60) points, P=0.02; (7.93±1.53) points vs. (6.79±1.84) points, P=0.01], as well as the total scores [(82.59±4.14) points vs. (79.26±4.94) points, P=0.01]. Conclusion:It's suggested that application of SOP may improve the effectiveness of thoracentesis training, and organized teaching methods are essential for clinical skills training.
