Application of SimMan 3G simulator based scenario simulation and case based learning in emergency medicine teaching / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of SimMan 3G simulator based scenario simulation teaching method and case-based learning (CBL) in emergency medicine teaching.Methods:Sixty students from Batch 2013 eight-year program of clinical medicine were selected as subjects. They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 30 students in each group. In the teaching of emergency medicine, the experimental group used the combination of scenario simulation with CBL teaching methods, and the control group used classic teaching methods. The test scores and the questionnaires satisfaction of the two groups were compared to evaluate the teaching effects. SPSS 17.0 was used for the statistical analysis, measurement data were compared between the groups by t test, and counting data were compared between groups by chi-square test.Results:The scores of the experimental group (94.24±1.13) were better than those of the control group (90.6±0.59), with significant differences ( t=12.85, P<0.05). The results of the questionnaires showed that the students of experimental group were more satisfied with the learning experience than those of the control group. Conclusion:The teaching method can improve the teaching effects, the students' emergency clinical thinking, skills, comprehensive analysis and judgment ability, team cooperation consciousness and leadership ability.
