Application of the clinical pathway teaching method in the standardized residency training of gynecology / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect and significance of clinical pathway (CP) teaching method in the standardized residency training of gynecology.Methods:The study included in 60 residents having standardized residency training of gynecology from June 2016 to June 2019 as research subjects, and they were randomized into control group and experimental group. The traditional teaching method was applied in the control group ( n=30), while CP teaching method were used in the experimental group ( n=30). All residents in the two groups were tested for the basic theory, case analysis and clinical skill after training. At the same time, they all had a teaching satisfaction survey, and the effectiveness of CP teaching was investigated among residents of the experimental group. Descriptive statistics, t test and chi-square analysis were performed by SPSS 23.0 software. Results:The results of examination about the basic theory [(86.30±7.04) vs. (75.30±5.27)], case analysis [(84.97±6.49) vs. (78.60±4.78)] and clinical skill [(83.90±6.32) vs. (77.40±8.29)] in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). And residents in the experimental group believed that CP teaching was helpful to improve their self-learning ability, clinical thinking ability, operation ability, communication ability and scientific research ability, and they supported the continuous promotion of CP teaching. Conclusion:CP teaching is beneficial to improve the quality of standardized residency training of gynecology, and it is expected to be further promoted and applied in the standardized residency training of gynecology.
