The effectiveness of humanoid diagram teaching strategy on care capacity and retention in novice nurses

AimTo examine the effectiveness of a Humanoid Diagram Teaching Strategy (HDTS) on care capabilities and retention of novice nurses.BackgroundGuiding novice nurses in clinical practice is a matter of concern and the use of diagrams in assisting the learning process and to promote learning efficiency has been acknowledged.DesignThis is a quasi-experimental study with asynchronous repeated measurements for the experimental and control groups.MethodsThe study was conducted in a medical centre in southern Taiwan with 24 novice nurses. The intervention, Humanoid Diagrams Teaching Strategy, contained three parts: the head and neck; trunk; and limbs. The HDTS was applied three time weekly. Each session lasted approximately 30 min and the training lasted 4 weeks. The effectiveness of HDTS was measured using Mini-CEX, CbD and retention rates in the 3rd and 6th months of novice nurses’ experience.ResultsAfter the HDTS, although increases in mini-CEX and CbD scores in the experimental group were greater than the control group, these differences were not statistically significant after considering the time interaction. But the 3rd month and 6th month novice nurses’ retention rates were statistically significantly different by comparing the differences under the time interaction effects in both groups.ConclusionsThe Humanoid Diagram Teaching Strategy is an effective tool for preceptors to use in assisting novice nurses in learning, improving their nursing care knowledge and technical skills and to increase their retention rate.     

形成性评价在本科临床教学阶段的应用和探索

在本科临床教学阶段，应用随堂测试与反馈、网络自测与反馈、DOPS 评价、Mini-CEX 等多元形成性评价方式，促进了学生考核体系的进一步完善。通过组织教师与学生座谈和调查问卷的反馈显示，应用形成性评价符合学生的需求，有利于教师教学水平的提高，有利于学生学习能力的提升。     

翻转课堂联合CBL教学在中医辨证见习中的应用

目的探讨翻转课堂联合CBL教学法应用于中医学辨证见习教学中的效果。方法将60名学生随机分为两组,每组30名,学生均来自于中南大学湘雅医学院临床医学专业2016级五年制本科。翻转课堂联合CBL教学法被应用于试验组,传统教学模式被应用于对照组,教学效果评价采用理论知识考核与学生满意度调查的双向评价模式。结果试验组的见习内容知识考核卷面成绩和满意度调查得分均高于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P <0.05)。结论在中医学辨证见习课中,翻转课堂联合CBL教学法的教学效果优于传统教学模式。     

培养医学生岗位胜任力，推进临床教学改革

以加强医学本科教育,培养具备较高素质和较强岗位胜任力的医学专业人才为目的,紧紧围绕医学生岗位胜任力这个中心,契合学校医学人才培养目标,进行临床医学专业本科课堂教学改革的探索和研究。通过提高思想认识,发现存在的问题,更新教学理念,改进教学手段,整合利用资源,合理应用信息化教学手段、调整教学评价体系等一系列措施,以突出素质和能力培养为抓手,以期达到提高课堂教学效率,提升教师教学能力,激发学生自主学习能力和拓宽学生国际视野的结果,对全面提高临床医学教学质量、打造具有区域特色的高水平本科教育、全面提高医学人才培养水平有着重要意义。     

主题创意设计理念在实验诊断学慕课设计中的新应用

随着"互联网+高等教育"打破传统教育的时空界限和学校围墙,慕课平台的大力发展,慕课建设成为如今教学模式的新改革,中国医科大学附属第一医院实验诊断学教研室承担《实验诊断学》的慕课课程建设工作,并首次将主题创意设计的理念应用于医学教育的慕课建设中。课程内容涵盖目前5大专业,9章,19节,82个热门检测项目。本文从主题创意设计的课程设计理念、构建课程框架、组建主题创意团队等多方面探讨实验诊断学慕课课程建设的过程,并通过微信公众号分别对在校学生和社会人士进行关于主题创意设计理念的慕课设计的教学效果评价及满意度调查。调查结果显示在校学生及在职人员实验组的随堂小考成绩、满意度调查得分均高于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(t=4.266、4.689、4.198、3.869,P <0.001)。主题创意设计理念的慕课设计,有助提高学生对实验诊断课程的兴趣,提高慕课教学的教学质量,且在医学继续教育的领域,也可对相关专业的在职人员起到继续教育的作用。     

Findings from an OMFS journal club: is COVID-19 the catalyst we have needed to embrace technology?

The COVID-19 outbreak has rapidly progressed into a worldwide pandemic, and the need for social distancing has changed the way we learn and work. Our monthly OMFS journal club has been no different, and is currently meeting on the video conferencing application Microsoft Teams. The use of a virtual setting for training in medicine and dentistry is not new and, as in the case of our recent move to a virtual medium, it may be that COVID-19 has fast-tracked this digital transformation. There are of course disadvantages to online teaching that traditional face-to-face teaching overcomes. We conducted a survey to examine how trainees' attitudes and experiences have altered with this change, and to understand whether some elements of this new style of training may be advantageous in the post-pandemic world. We aimed to assess trainees’ attitudes towards online teaching, and which elements, if any, would be beneficial once face-to-face teaching becomes possible again. A survey was created for all trainees taking part in journal club meetings at Bradford Teaching Hospitals. Multiple-choice and Likert scale questions were designed to ascertain the differences in experience between online and face-to-face settings. A Wilcoxon matched pairs signed test was used to analyse the results. Responses were kept anonymous. Results showed that the majority of trainees found it easier to attend the online journal club, and also indicated that the most found Microsoft Teams easy to use, though we did not have another online application for comparison. There was no significant difference in participation comfort between the two settings, though trainees felt that the online setting considerably improved learning effectiveness. Furthermore, 79% (11/14) thought that online tutorials and meetings should replace traditional face-to-face meetings in the future. The use of internet technology such as video conferencing is not new, and although journal clubs are typically held in academic institutions, online and virtual clubs are flourishing. With an array of advantages, there is no shying away from the trend to move our teaching to a virtual medium. COVID-19 may have just provided the stimulus that has forced this transformation to accelerate.     

新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间脑血管病住院医师网络教学效果评价与分析

目的 本研究对疫情期间通过网络教学实施的新型冠状病毒相关内容培训进行效果评价，并对网 络教学实践过程进行总结分析，为脑血管病住院医师规范化培训网络教学的开展及教学质量提高 提供参考。 方法 组织2017-2019级脑血管病住院医师进行新型冠状病毒相关内容网络教学培训，培训内容 包括操作规范、病毒知识与防控要点、诊断与治疗、诊疗流程等。采用自身对照研究的方法，通过对 比住院医师培训前后两次考核成绩对实施的网络教学进行效果评价。 结果 共189名脑血管病住院医师参加培训及考核。根据培训前后考试成绩的差异性分析结果，培 训后辅助检查、院感、诊断与治疗、防控、诊疗流程五项内容分数及总分均高于培训前（均P＜0.001）。 根据广义方程模型分析结果，校正学历和规培年限等因素后，培训后考试总分较培训前高9.14分 （95%CI 7.22～11.06，P＜0.001）。 结论 脑血管病住院医师网络教学培训效果较好，教学管理者需要充分发挥网络教学的优势，规 避劣势，将网络教学纳入脑血管病住院医师常态化教学活动。
