ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the role of objective teaching guided by immersion education theory in the practice teaching of undergraduates majoring in psychiatry.Methods:Two classes of undergraduates majoring in psychiatry in Batch 2018 were randomly selected as the study group and the control group. A total of 35 students in the control group had traditional teaching, and 37 students in the study group had objective teaching guided by immersion education theory, both with half a semester of teaching. After the teaching, the theoretical knowledge examination scores and skills assessment scores, comprehensive ability (self-learning ability, communication ability, clinical thinking, innovation ability, and humanistic care ability), and teaching satisfaction of the two groups were compared. SPSS 26.0 was used for t-test, Chi-square test, and rank sum test. Results:After the teaching, the theoretical knowledge examination scores (basic medicine, clinical medicine, clinical psychology, and psychiatry), skill assessment scores (physical examination, and mental examination), self-learning ability, communication ability, clinical thinking, innovation ability, and humanistic care ability of the study group were all higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05). The teaching satisfaction degree of the study group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Objective teaching guided by immersion education theory can improve the scores of professional theoretical knowledge scores and skills assessment scores of undergraduates majoring in psychiatry, and improve teaching satisfaction.
