Preliminary Application of Competency-Based Simulation Teaching in Basic Skills Training for Internal Medicine Interns
Objective:To explore the application value of competency-based simulation teaching in the basic skills training of internal medicine interns.Methods:A total of 24 internal medicine interns from Shenzhen People's Hospital were included from June to September 2021.Basic skills training focused on manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR),defibrillation,and the use of a basic ventilator.The first week of training was conducted using traditional teaching methods,while the second week employed competency-based simulation teaching.Results:During the first week,all interns passed both theoretical and skill assessments under traditional teaching methods.Before simulation training in the second week,only 3 interns passed the assessment,but after the simulation-based training,all interns passed.Post-training scores in skill assessments and DOPS(Direct Observation of Procedural Skills)indicators were significantly higher compared to pre-training scores(P<0.05),with statistical significance.Conclusion:Competency-based simulation teaching effectively improves the basic skill levels and practical problem-solving abilities of internal medicine interns,enhancing their job competency more effectively than traditional teaching methods.
