Résumé
Objective To improve the clinical oncology practice ability of professional degree postgraduates,and to explore the role of using standardized patients (SP) in problem-based learning (PBL) teaching method.Method Fifty-two professional degree postgraduates who studied clinical oncology in 2016 and 2017 in our department were taken as the research object,of which 26 were in the experimental group,26 were in the control group.In the experimental group,SP was used in PBL teaching method.In the control group,the traditional PBL teaching method was performed.After the end of the training course,data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 software,count data and measurement data were analyzed using chi square test and t test to carry out the significant test between the two groups of data,the training effect was compared between the two groups.Results The score marked by experts in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group [(80.27 ± 6.41) vs.(74.77 ± 7.59)],the difference was statistically significant.The results of questionnaire survey showed that the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group in terms of patient satisfaction,clinical skills and participation in teaching activities (P＜0.05).Conclusion Introducing the SP into PBL teaching method could not only make PBL lively but also make SP teaching deeply.The organic combination of PBLand SP in the training process could improve the clinical oncology graduate students' abilities of clinical thinking,practice,doctor-patient communication,problems treatment,and humanistic care.This teaching model is worth promoting in the teaching of clinical oncology for profes-sional degree postgraduates.
