The effect of PAD class on improving the practical ability of dermatovenereology residents / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the effect of PAD (presentation-assimilation-discussion) class applied in the standardized residency training of dermatovenereology on improving residents' practical operation ability.Methods:A total of 120 residents taking the standardized residency training of dermatovenereology in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from November 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects and divided into two groups according to the time order of admission, among which, 60 residents enrolled from November 2018 to November 2019 were selected as the control group, and 60 residents enrolled from December 2019 to December 2020 were selected as the experimental group. The control group adopted the traditional standardized residency training mode, and the experimental group adopted the teaching mode of PAD class. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. The results of theoretical knowledge assessment and skill operation assessment were compared between the two groups by t test, the evaluation of teaching effect was compared between the two groups by chi-square test, and the satisfaction of teaching was compared between the two groups by rank sum test. Results:The theoretical knowledge [(45.38±4.14) points], skill operation [(42.35±4.32) points] and total score [(88.74± 7.69) points] of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group [(39.62 ± 4.15) points, (36.25±4.27) points, (77.96±7.52) points, respectively], with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The evaluation of teaching effect in the experimental group showed that 49 residents (81.67%) believed that their learning interest had been stimulated; 51(85.00%) improved their self-learning ability; 47(78.33%)improved their ability of analyzing and solving problems; 50(83.33%) improved their doctor-patient communication ability; 49(81.67%) improved their clinical thinking ability; 52(86.67%) improved their teamwork ability; and 50(83.33%) improved their literature retrieval ability. The results of satisfaction showed that the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group in sense of responsibility, teaching methods, teaching contents and self-evaluation. Conclusion:The application of PAD class in the standardized residency training of dermatovenereology plays a positive role in mobilizing the learning enthusiasm of residents and cultivating their independent learning ability, and can significantly improve the practical operation and theoretical awareness of residents.
