Evaluation on the effect of teacher simulate standardized patient consultation training in pediatric practical teaching / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the effect of teacher simulate standardized patient (TSSP) consultation training in pediatric practical teaching.Methods:A total of 120 interns from the five-year clinical medicine major of Batch 2015 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the experimental group, 60 interns were trained by TSSP for consultation after admission. After the training, the clinical parents of the children were consulted and the children were physically examined under the guidance of teachers. In the control group, 60 interns were trained according to the same requirements, but TSSP consultation training was not included. At the end of the practice, the performance, operation skills and medical record writing ability of the interns were compared, and the satisfaction of the experimental group was investigated. SPSS 25.0 software was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The medical record writing results of the experimental group were (96.15±3.00) points, significantly higher than that of the control group [(81.02±3.29) points], and the differences were statistically significant ( t = 26.38; P < 0.001). In the mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX), the scores of medical history collection, communication skills, humanistic care and physical examination were significantly higher than those of the control group ( t= 15.41, 17.67, 15.39 respectively; all P < 0.001). The experimental group had high satisfaction with the teaching method of TSSP consultation training. Conclusion:TSSP consultation training improves the intern medical record writing ability, doctor-patient communication ability, clinical operation ability, stimulates the learning interest of interns, trains the trainee doctors humanistic consciousness, integrates into the ideological and political education, effectively ensures the quality of practical teaching of pediatrics, and obtains recognition from intern, which is worth promoting.
