Application of the Unit-Theme Teaching Method in Standardized General Practice Residency Training
Objective To explore the effect of unit-theme teaching method in standardized general practice residency training.Methods A total of 43 residents received standardized training in general practice department of the General Hospital of Western Theater Command between June 2019 to August 2020 were selected.According to the arrangement of teaching activities,the residents were divided into an experimental group and a control group,with 24 residents in the experimental group and 19 residents in the control group.The unit-theme teaching method to design teaching activities was adopted in the experimental group,while the conventional teaching activity arrangements was adopted in the control group.The mini-clinical evaluation exercise(Mini-CEX)scores,theoretical test scores,comprehensive scores,and teaching satisfaction of the two groups of residents were compared when they left the department.Results The Mini-CEX scores,theoretical scores and comprehensive scores of experimental groups were higher than those of control group[Mini-CEX scores(54.6±4.7)points vs.(50.5±6.6)points;theoretical scores(121.2±8.7)points vs.(111.7±10.8)points;overall score(83.7±5.3)points vs.(77.4±6.9)points,P<0.05],and the differences were statistically significant.The average score of teaching method and ability improvement in teaching satisfaction were higher than those in the control group[Teaching method(4.5±0.7)points vs.(3.8±1.2)points,ability improvement(4.6±0.7)points vs.(3.7±1.2)points,P<0.05],and the differences were also statistically significant.Conclusion The application of unit-theme teaching method in standardized general practice residency training can significantly improve the residents'comprehensive scores and satisfaction,which is meaningful for enhancing the effectiveness of general residency training teaching.
