Application of an innovational hybrid simulation-based education of bone traction with co-Debriefer for medical students / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To develop an innovational hybrid simulation-based education of bone traction with co-Debriefer for medical students and to evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:This study was designed as a cross-controlled study. From June 2018 to June 2019, 28 medical students were randomized into two groups. The two groups adopted simulation-based education and traditional teaching method respectively. In the second week of internship, the teaching methods of the two groups exchanged. Scores rating of the skill were used to assess the students' performance in the end of each teaching methods. SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the collected data.Results:In the first weekend of orthopedic-internship, students in the experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group, with an average score of 85.07 points versus 67.92 points. In the second weekend of practice, there was no obvious change in the skill score of the experimental group, but the score of the control group was significantly improved, and there was no obvious difference with the experimental group.Conclusion:The hybrid simulation-based education with co-debriefing is a reliable teaching method for medical interns to learn skills of bone traction, which can effectively help improve students' skills, reduce their errors, and ensure patient's safety.
