Objective To explore the application
method and value of mind mapping in the clinical
teaching of
general practitioners for the purpose of improving the
teaching qualities.
Methods A total of 60 GPs were divided into the test group and
control group, undergoing the mind mapping
teaching and tra-ditional
teaching, respectively. The clinical
knowledge achievements were compared in the two groups, and the results were analyzed. At the same
time, a
questionnaire was conducted. Results The difference between two groups in theoretical
teaching was statistically significant (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in
physical examination (P>0.05). In addition, the results of the
questionnaire survey showed that the test group was better than the
control group in medical
knowledge,
self-
learning ability, interpersonal
communication ability, team cooperation
ability and other dimensions. Conclusion Mind mapping is an effective
teaching tool for
general practitioners.
