Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effect of integrated Chinese and western medicine teaching method on improving the comprehensive competencies of Obstetrics and Gynecology professional graduate students during their clinical practice.Methods:This study was an interventional trial. Thirty-one Obstetrics and Gynecology professional graduated students who rotated in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated with Capital Medical University, were enrolled. Sixteen Obstetrics and Gynecology professional graduate students from 2023 and 2024 cohorts (mean age (24.06±1.24) years old; 15 females, 1 male) were assigned to the intervention group and received training using an integrated Chinese and western medicine teaching method during their 6 months of Gynecology Department rotation in the first year of clinical practice. Fifteen Obstetrics and Gynecology professional graduate students from 2021 and 2022 cohorts (mean age (23.93±1.18)years old; 14 females, 1 male) served as control group and received conventional training in accordance with the Beijing resident doctor standardized training requirements during the 6-month period of Gynecology Department in the first year. Within 1 week after gynecology rotation, both groups completed a satisfaction survey and a standardized rotation-end assessment, which included a theoretical examination and a five-station practical skills assessment, to evaluate teaching effectiveness.Results:At the end of 6-month training, students in the intervention group reported higher satisfaction than the control group in terms of learning interest, course content, teaching methods, clinical teaching ability of instructors, and improvement of their own competencies (all P<0.05). Theoretical assessment scores and total scores were also higher in the intervention group compared to the control group (both P<0.05). In the clinical skills assessment, the intervention group outperformed the control group in medical history collection, interpretation of auxiliary examinations, diagnosis and treatment, and case presentation (all P<0.05); however, no significant difference was observed in gynecological internal examination scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:During the early stage of clinical practice, training Obstetrics and Gynecology professional graduate students using an integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine teaching method may enhance their satisfaction with the teaching process and improve their performance in rotation-end assessments.
