Evaluation of problem-based learning combined with scene simulation in cardiopulmonary resuscitation teaching of standardized training of general practitioner / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with scene simulation in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) teaching of standardized training of general practitioner, and explore a high-quality teaching method that will help students develop their clinical thinking and practical skills.Methods:Forty students of the Grade 2018 general practitioner training program in Yixing Hospital Affiliated to Jiangsu University were randomly divided into experimental group ( n=20) given PBL combined with scene simulation teaching method and control group ( n=20) given traditional teaching method. The pre-class preparation, classroom discussions, actual combat simulations, and analysis and summary were conducted in the experimental group (4-hour CPR training), while classroom teaching, teaching rounds, analysis and discussion, skills training were conducted in the control group (4-hour CPR training). Furthermore, both groups received the same theoretical test, skill assessment, and questionnaires. t-test or chis-quare test was performed for comparison between the two groups using SPSS 18.0. Results:The average score of theoretical test in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(87.5±4.3) vs. (81.2±4.7), P<0.05]; the average score of the skill assessment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(91.0±1.5) vs. (83.1±1.8), P<0.05]. The questionnaire survey showed more students of the experimental group who reported greater improvement in their abilities than those of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:PBL combined with scene simulation teaching method can effectively improve the quality of CPR teaching for standardized training of general practitioners, help students improve clinical thinking and comprehensive processing capabilities.
