RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the application effect of WeChat combined with team-based learning (TBL) in the teaching of rehabilitation therapy.Methods:A total of 40 students majoring in rehabilitation therapy who studied in our department were selected and divided into control group and experimental group, with 20 students in each group. The students in the control group received lecture-based learning, and those in the experimental group received WeChat combined with TBL. At the end of training, department examination and satisfaction investigation were performed for all students. SPSS 26.0 was used to perform the t-test and the chi-square test. Results:Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly better score of department examination (74.3±4.9 vs. 62.4±5.2, P<0.001), which was reflected in the three aspects of case analysis (18.3±2.1 vs. 15.2±1.9, P<0.001), clinical practice (19.3±2.1 vs. 14.8±2.4, P<0.001), and doctor-patient communication (17.8±2.4 vs. 14.1±2.4, P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly better total score of satisfaction investigation (79.6±4.8 vs. 71.2±3.5, P<0.001). Conclusion:The teaching method of WeChat combined with TBL can improve the teaching effect of rehabilitation therapy and help to enhance the abilities for case analysis, clinical practice, and doctor-patient communication among students.
