ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of clinical pathway (CP) and team-based learning (TBL) teaching method in standardized residency training of gynecology.Methods:The research included 40 residents as objects who took standardized training in gynecological rotation in Luohe Central Hospital from July 2017 to July 2019, and they were randomized into experimental group and control group. The combination of CP and TBL teaching method was used in the experimental group ( n=20), while the traditional teaching method was applied in the control group ( n=20). All residents were tested for the professional theory and clinical skill after training. After the training, a survey about the teaching satisfaction and the effectiveness of teaching methods was conducted for both groups. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 23.0 software. Results:The average scores of professional theory and clinical practice skills in the experimental group were (85.55±5.96) points and (89.90±6.40) points respectively, which were better than the average scores of the control group [(76.36±6.68) points and (75.50±4.81) points, respectively], and there were significant differences between two groups ( P<0.05). The results of the questionnaire survey showed that the experimental group residents had a higher degree of satisfaction and a higher evaluation of the teaching method than the control group. Conclusion:CP and TBL teaching is beneficial to improve the quality of standardized residency training of gynecology, and it is suggested to make wide popularization and application in the training.
