Research on the demand of simulation operations specialists in simulated courses in standardized residency training / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the demand and practical utility of simulation operations specialists (SOS) in simulation teaching modules during the standardized residency training.Methods:Based on the feedback for stimulated courses of standardized residency training, subjective evaluation of all residents, teachers and SOS who participated in simulation courses in 2017-2018 academic year were investigated and studied via the mobile phone online investigation. At the same time, the design data of teaching concept map of relevant curriculum were also included. The SPSS 13.0 was used to conduct the t test and chi-square test. Results:At present, only 26.3% of the preset functions were used in the medical simulation courses based on high-tech medical simulator. Tutors commanded less than 30% functions, while SOS participated in the whole process of the course preparation and commanded 63.6% of the course operations, which was higher than the requirement of teaching concept map (45.5%). Among them, ECG monitoring regulation, venous management and special effects makeup were in greatest needs and were items with the biggest gap between ideality and reality. Resident physicians required SOS to replace the tutors to operate teaching facilities, so as to reduce interruption (37.0%), implications (31.3%) during courses, and improvement of experience sense during the course (32.3%). Furthermore, specialists with clinical background needed more assistance from SOS than those without clinical background ( tQ3=3.204, tQ4=2.573, tQ5=2.660; P<0.05). Differences were found between the actual work content of SOS and their job requirement ( χ2=12.632, P<0.01). Conclusion:SOS plays a significant role in the simulation course of standardized residency training, especially in the course of clinical professional physicians. Auxiliary functions of simulated courses, such as teaching aids management, special effects makeup, course designing, qualified SP and others are the main necessities for SOS at present. Participation of tutors and SOS together is essential to ensure a good development and performance of medical simulation courses for standardized residency training.
