ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze scientific projects about TCM constitutions funded by National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC); To understand its development trend and current situation.Methods The scientific projects about TCM constitutions in the fields of H27 and H29 were retrieved in NSFC Network Information System during 1996-2016 and "Dingxiangtong" during 1985-2015. Project year, branch discipline, project category, relying-on units were analyzed. PICO model of evidence-based medicine to build clinical problems was applied to analyze project research objects, clinical or scientific issues, interventions, methods, effects indicators, and the role of links. Results There were totally 61 scientific projects and 26.38 millions yuan funded by NSFC in TCM constitutions during 1988-2016. Project and the amount of fund to overall were on the rise, especially since 2010. There were 48 projects about TCM science, 21.77 million yuan (82.5％), 13 projects about integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, 4.61 million yuan (17.5％), including 27 surface projects, 11.32 million yuan (42.9％), 17 youth science fund, 3.32 million yuan (12.6％), 15 regional science fund projects, 6.34 million yuan (24.0％), and 2 key projects, 5.4 million yuan (20.5％). The units with the most foundation were Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (15), Xinjiang Medical University (6), Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (5). TCM constitution of zang-fu, qi and blood, and body fluid, clinical basis of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and basic principles of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine were the branches with the most foundation. Conclusion s Supported by NSFC, marked improvement and progress have been achieved in research on TCM constitutions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of problem-based 1earning (PBL) combined with PICO model in clinical nursing internship teaching.Methods A retrospective case-control study was adopted,133 undergraduate nursing students in grade 2010 were selected as theexperimental group,and 128 undergraduate nursing students in grade 2009 were selected as the control group.The students in the experimental group received a teaching method which combined PBL with PICO model,while the students in the control group received traditional teaching methods.The two groups were evaluated by Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and questionnaire survey.Results The OSCE grade and evaluation of teaching method in the experimental group students were higher than the control group,the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions PBL combined with PICO model teaching methods are not only beneficial to cultivate and improve the clinical nursing competency and comprehensive qualities of the nursing students,but also let the students gradually learn and permeate the ideas of any decision made by clinician should be based on the scientific research results,which from the main thought of the evidence-based practice.It can lay a good foundation for going to work in the future,and is also worthy of being popularized and applied in clinical internship teaching of undergraduate nursing students.
