Impact of Case-Based,Problem-Oriented Teaching on the Core Competencies of Pharmacy Interns
Objective To explore the impact of case-based joint problem-oriented teaching on the core competencies of pharmacy interns.Methods A total of 216 pharmacy interns from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2021 to May 2023 were selected and randomly divided into two groups,with 108 interns in each group.The control group was given the traditional teaching mode,while the research group was given the case-based problem-oriented teaching mode.The assessment results,core competencies,self-learning ability[self-rating scale of self-directed learning(SRSSDL)],critical thinking ability[Chinese version of critical thinking disposition inventory(CTDI-CV)]and teaching satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results The theoretical knowledge,practical skills,and overall assessment scores of the pharmaceutical interns in the research group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).After internship,the scores of each dimension and the total score of SRSSDL and CTDI-CV in the research group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The teaching methods,teaching level,classroom management ability scores,and overall satisfaction scores of the pharmaceutical interns in the research group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Case-based,problem-oriented teaching can improve the assessment scores of pharmacy interns,enhance their core competencies,critical thinking,and self-learning abilities,and increase teaching satisfaction.
