Application of mind mapping teaching of gastroenterology in the standardized training for general practitioners / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of mind mapping teaching of gastroenterology in the standardized training for general practitioners, and provide new ideas for general practice education.Methods:A total of 65 physicians who were enrolled in the standardized training of general practice from January to December 2017 were collected as the control group, and the traditional teaching method was adopted; another 58 physicians from January to December 2018 were selected as the experimental group, and the mind mapping was adopted based on the traditional teaching method. The learning effect (theoretical and operational results) and the satisfaction questionnaire of trainees and teachers were used as evaluation indicators. SPSS 21.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The theory exam and clinical skills examination results of experimental group (80.80±5.30, 82.66±5.90) were significantly higher than those of the control group (71.60±5.20, 75.72±4.57), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the experimental group had better understanding of knowledge points of this discipline, clinical thinking ability, higher learning interest, teamwork ability, innovation ability and teacher satisfaction, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mind mapping has more advantages than traditional teaching methods in the standardized training for general practitioners, which can be further extended.
