Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of the S-PAL model (combining a student standardized patient with peer assisted learning) in experimental teaching of physical diagnostics.Methods:Eighty-four undergraduate students of grade 2022 in clinical medicine of Chongqing Medical University were divided into experimental group ( n=44, experimental class teaching combined with S-PAL model-based autonomous practice) and control group ( n=40, experimental class teaching combined with traditional autonomous practice). Performance evaluation and teaching feedback and satisfaction survey were conducted. SPSS 27.0 was used to perform the t-test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, sex, the grade point average, and pre-training theoretical scores. The academic assessment score of the experimental group (66.34±15.45) was significantly higher than that of the control group (55.12±15.02). The experimental group was superior to the control group in clinical skills assessed with the mini-clinical evaluation exercise. The experimental group had a higher degree of satisfaction with teaching than the control group. The experimental group highly accepted autonomous practice based on the S-PAL model.Conclusions:The S-PAL model can improve medical undergraduates' academic performance and satisfaction with teaching in physical diagnostics, and also promote their doctor-patient communication skills, which is a good self-learning model as a complement to physical diagnostics teaching.
