Abstract:
AIM To analyze the effect of the teaching method of problem based learning (PBL) combined with case based learning (CBL) and clinical pathway (CP) in clinical teaching of cardiovascular medicine.
METHODS A total of 60 cardiovascular interns at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected and randomly divided into control group using the PBL+CBL teaching method and research group using the PBL+CBL+CP teaching method. The examination scores and teaching quality were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS The scores of theory test、case analysis test and practical technique test of students in experimental group (93.86±3.65)、(91.80±2.04)、(92.32±2.46) were better than those in the control group(87.03±2.40)、(83.72±2.65)、(85.66±3.02), the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).In addition, Satisfaction rate of trainees in experimental group were also better than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION The PBL+CBL+CP teaching method is a more scientific and systematic approach for more effective teaching (P<0.05), which holds the promise for application in the clinical teaching of other subjects.
