The impacts of PBL based on standardized patients in clinical teaching of rehabilitation department on students'clinical operation skills and clinical thinking
Objective To analyze the impacts of problem-based learning(PBL)based on standardized patients(SP)on students'clinical operation skills and clinical thinking ability in clinical teaching of rehabilitation department.Methods A total of 88 interns practiced in the rehabilitation department from October 2020 to October 2022 of Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University were selected and the intern information was analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into the control group(n=44)and the study group(n=44)by different teaching methods.Both groups were taught by teachers in the same group.The control group was adopted with conventional teaching method,while the study group was adopted with PBL teaching method based on SP.The assessment scores,autonomous learning ability,critical thinking ability and clinical communication ability of the two groups were compared.Results The scores of theoretical examination and skill examination in the study group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The evaluations and total scores of Chinese version of the critical thinking attitude tendency questionnaire(CTDI-CV)in the study group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The scores of learning driving force,learning goal,controlled learning and self-management ability in the study group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The evaluations and total scores of clinical communication ability in the study group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of SP-based PBL teaching method in rehabilitation department teaching can promote the improvement of students'operational skills,and is conducive to the increase of clinical communication and thinking ability.
