Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the promotional effect of the new teaching method of goal orientation combined with plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cyclic improvement on specialized medical knowledge and operation skills among physicians in critical care medicine.
Methods:A total of 84 physicians who received critical care medicine training in Department of Critical Care Medicine in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2013 to December 2015 were selected, and according to the time of admission, they were divided into control group with 41 physicians and experimental group with 43 physicians. The physicians in the experimental group received the new teaching method of goal orientation combined with PDCA cyclic improvement, i.e., the physicians started systematic learning according to the learning goals sent out by the teaching secretary, summarized problems during learning and looked for optimal solutions every week, and then continued learning in the next week through PDCA cyclic improvement. The physicians in the control group received traditional teaching combined with bedside teaching, but no learning goals were set for them. The two groups were compared in terms of theoretical examination scores, clinical operation skills, and results of the questionnaire survey. The t-test and Wilcoxon ranksum test were used for comparison of scores between the two groups by SPSS 18.0.
Results:Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significant increases in the scores of theoretical examination (91.50±4.18 vs. 87.80±3.63) and operation skills (88.80±3.34 vs. 85.40±2.88). The questionnaire survey showed that compared with the control group, the experimental group had a significantly higher degree of satisfaction, significantly greater learning interests, and significantly greater improvements in operation skills, clinical thinking ability, and self-confidence.
Conclusion:The new teaching method of goal orientation combined with PDCA cyclic improvement can stimulate learning interests, clarify learning goals, help physicians to master important and difficult issues, and thus improve their learning outcomes and scores in Department of Critical Care Medicine.
