Video feedback combined with peer role-playing: a method to improve the teaching effect of medical undergraduates.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of implementation of video feedback combined with peer role-playing (PRP) teaching method in medical undergraduates adopting problem-based learning (PBL) teaching mode. METHODS: The undergraduates of five-year clinical medicine who get enrollment of Wuhan local University from 2016 and 2018 were selected to be the research objects. The same grade level is randomly divided into several groups to carry out PBL, with 6-10 students in each group. Following the principle of voluntary participation, 34 students were enrolled in the study group and 33 students in the control group finally. The research regards group as the unit, and study report in group should be carried out to fulfill the research. In the study group, the students were asked to perform PRP report, and the report videos were used for feedback. At the same time, the control group reported by PPT, and the feedback was carried out according to the PPT. At the end of the study, the "Competency Improvement Satisfaction Questionnaire (CISQ)" was distributed to investigate students' satisfaction with this teaching method to improve their ability, Arizona Clinical Interview Score (ACIR) was administered in Chinese by a trained teacher unrelated using PRP method to assess students' clinical inquiry ability and communication skills, and theory test was performed to assess mastery of theoretical knowledge. RESULTS: The results show that the study group is superior to the control group in improving the interest of learning and the ability of independent learning, interpersonal communication and active problem solving. Although it is in terms of the confidence in becoming a real doctor and the ability of teamwork, language expression, clinical thinking cultivated, active knowledge acquired and understood that study group are better than the control group, the difference was not statistically significant. ACIR shows that the study group is significantly better than the control group in organization, timeline planning, and transition statements, openly questioning, smooth progress, and avoiding repetition, summarizing, understandable language, documentation and total score. There is no significant difference in eye contact and no interruption. The differences between the two groups are not statistically significant in terms of responsing to concerns, positive feedback, and additional questions. The theoretical test scores of the study group are significantly higher than those of the control group. CONCLUSION: Video feedback combined with peer role-playing teaching method implemented in medical undergraduates adopting PBL teaching mode is effective, it could stimulate interest in learning actively, improve interpersonal communication ability, improve learning efficiency and clinical knowledge and skills, and improve the confidence of becoming a real doctor. It is worthy of further research and promotion.

A bibliometric and visualization analysis of global research status and frontiers on autophagy in cardiomyopathies from 2004 to 2023.

BACKGROUND: Autophagy is intimately associated with the development of cardiomyopathy, and has received widespread attention in recent years. However, no relevant bibliometric analysis is reported at present. In order to summarize the research status of autophagy in cardiomyopathy and provide direction for future research, we conducted a comprehensive, detailed, and multidimensional bibliometric analysis of the literature published in this field from 2004 to 2023. METHODS: All literatures related autophagy in cardiomyopathy from 2004 to 2023 were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC), and annual papers, global publication trends and proportion charts were analyzed and plotted using Graphpad price v8.0.2. In addition, CtieSpace (6.2.4R (64 bit) Advanced Edition) and VOSviewer (1.6.18 Edition) were used to analyze and visualize these data. RESULTS: 2279 papers about autophagy in cardiomyopathy were accessed in the WoSCC over the last 20 years, comprising literatures from 70 countries and regions, 2208 institutions, and 10,810 authors. China contributes 56.32% of the total publications, substantially surpassing other countries, while the U.S. is ranked first in frequency of citations. Among the top 10 authors, 6 are from China and 4 are from the United States. Air Force Military Medical University was the institution with the highest number of publications; while journal of molecular and cellular cardiology (62 articles, 2.71% of the total) was the journal with the highest number of papers published in the field. Clustering of co-cited references and temporal clustering analysis showed that ferroptosis, hydrogen sulfide mitophagy, lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress, and SIRT-1 are hot topics and trends in the field. The principal keywords are oxidative stress, heart and heart-failure. CONCLUSION: The research on autophagy in cardiomyopathy is in the developmental stage. This represents the first bibliometric analysis of autophagy in cardiomyopathy , revealing the current research hotspots and future research directions in this field.
